Up for auction is a collection of 12 Ragtime albums featuring various artists. Shipped securely using collector-approved wrapping methods in industry standard packaging. Note that in many cases a vinyl rating of VG is actually VG+. I purposely grade conservatively since I am not able to play test the vinyl.
