This cover has shelf wear. The spins has no splits or rips. There are some splits on the edge where you insert the album. The vinyl has some surface scuffs and light scratches but this was tested, and enjoyed, and it played through with no issues. Side 1 had what I call a "scuff" was an area that I was concerned about but no issues were had.
In the comic book world I would call this a "reader". Meaning I have a nice pristine copy I don't touch but this is the one I can read and enjoy without worry!
