Condition: This album is used and in excellent E+ condition. Album cover is in excellent VG++ condition. Very clean vinyl and very Near Mint! I've only played this to record to CDR 2X in the almost 30 years of owning this and treated it as gold, as you should too. If you buy it!
Please refer to pictures for condition and close inspection. Photos are of exact item.
It will include a 12" resealable vinyl protective sleeve for storing in your collection.
Sorry, no international shipping.
Shipping: It will be mailed in the 12" vinyl protective sleeve and between cardboard for postage handling within TWO Uline Bubble Mailers measuring 15 x 15 x 1.5 via USPS Media Mail or USPS Priority Mail. Shipping costs are dependent on actual zip codes from me to you. All sales are final.
I use the Goldmine Standard Grading System: Description of 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 should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. Covers with cut-out markings can never be considered Near Mint.
