Detailed Descriptions
The Sleeve: EX+ Great condition only a few creases near the spine otherwise is virtually crease free which is very hard to find on laminated issues. The spine is clearly readable and has no damage. A superb copy overall.
Inner Sleeve: VG- Has some browning spots and a 4cm seam split to the bottom no writing or rips anywhere.
The Labels: EX+ Only some a few spindle marks to side 2 otherwise superb condition no writing or other issues.
Record Visually Graded: EX+ Virtually NM apart from a couple of very light wispy marks noting deep still looks like virtually new.
Record Playback: NM Sounds superb which is a great listen with hardly any surface noise and no clicks or pops.
I use the following grading system: M=Mint, NM=Near Mint, EX=Excellent, VG=Very Good, G= Good, F=Fair, P=Poor B=Bad
