You are purchasing The Carpenters Christmas Portrait Lp

Lp is visually graded as a strong VG+. A few very light surface scuffs, but other than that shiny and glossy with little use.

It has been test played and plays excellent on both sides.

Original printed inner sleeve included.

Outer sleeve is graded somewhere between VG and VG+ as well with minor surface, corner, ring, and edge wear.

I am including for free The Carpenters  Old Fashioned Christmas Lp. It appears shiny and glossy but has a significant warp. It is noticeable here and there but overall still enjoyable. This is included for free with the purchase of Christmas Portrait lp.

We use Goldmines grading scale for reference as follows:

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) or EXCELLENT (E)

A good description of a VG+ record is “except for a couple minor things, this would be Near Mint.” Most collectors, especially those who want to play their records, will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if it toward the high end of the grade (sometimes called VG++ or E+).

VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.

VG covers will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it won’t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written or it or stamped a price tag on it, too.
