PLEASE READ THROUGH DETAILS BELOW BEFORE PURCHASE AND FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE GOLDMINE RECORD GRADING SCALE BRIEFLY DESCRIBED BELOW!
I HAVE ADDED 6 PHOTOS FOR YOU TO SEE THE CONDITION OF THESE 2 ICONIC 80's POP ROCK ALBUMS FROM CYNDI LAUPER! 12". 2 LPs.
Going through the albums one by one, here are the details:
She's So Unusual - Portrait FR 38930 - UPC: 0746438930102 - Jacket has shrink, with a little tearing. On shrink is a sticker featuring 5 of the songs from the album. Jacket has some light dog-ears, open edge wear. Overall jacket is VG+. Record is VG+, with some surface scratches that don't affect play. This album comes with a lyric/liner note sleeve. I don't grade sleeves, I just play it safe and call them all worn.
True Colors - Portrait OR 40313 - UPC: 07464-40313-1 - Jacket has shrink. On shrink is a sticker featuring 6 of the songs from the album. Another sticker on shrink says "Chart Busters - Best for Less". Jacket (and shrink) has a hole-punch cutout, some light dog-ears, open edge wear. Overall jacket is VG+. Record is EX. This album comes with a lyric/liner note sleeve. I don't grade sleeves, I just play it safe and call them all worn.
See photos.
We use Goldmine® visual grading, which breaks down like this (please do read through this record grading if you are not familiar with it):
M (mint) Record is new, shiny, never played.
NM (near mint) Record is like new, probably played a few times, but it doesn't effects on the quality of a sound.
EX (excellent) Record in great shape, may have light marks, played more than a few times but low in surface noise or no surface noise.
VG+ (very good plus) Record has been played more times, it has more marks and surface noise, it doesn't skip.
VG (very good) Record has been played many times, may be more surface noise, but it shouldn't skip while playing.
G (good) Record is in bad condition, this is worth only for archive items - just to have that until you find better.
P (poor) Record is a mess and probably will skip (Goldmine doesn't actually offer a "poor" rating but this is how we would describe POOR).
REGARDING DUST AND CLEANING - IF YOU ASK 5 DIFFERENT RECORD COLLECTORS THEIR PREFERRED WAY TO REMOVE DUST OR CLEAN YOU WILL GET 5 DIFFERENT ANSWERS AND EACH MIGHT BE OFFENDED BY THE OTHER COLLECTOR'S METHOD OF REMOVING DUST. SO WHEN I SEE DUST ON A VINYL I SELL IT AS IS BUT I TRY TO LET YOU KNOW IN THE LISTING IF YOUR VINYL NEEDS A LIGHT OR HEAVY DUSTING.
WHEN I SHIP RECORDS I SHIP THEM ON TOP OF THE JACKET, NOT INSIDE. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THIS IS THE COMMON AND PREFERRED WAY TO SHIP A RECORD. THIS KEEPS IT FROM CUTTING THROUGH THE CLOSED SIDES OF THE JACKET DURING SHIPPING. I SHIP IN CARDBOARD RECORD BOXES AND I USE BUBBLE WRAP (WHEN THE BOX ALLOWS ROOM FOR IT; OTHERWISE RECORDS ARE SNUG AND SAFE ENOUGH WITHOUT IT) TO ENSURE YOUR ITEM ARRIVES SAFELY.
