Up for auction is a collection of 15 albums featuring blues artists. Shipped securely using collector-approved packing methods in industry standard packaging. Note that in many cases a vinyl rating of VG is actually VG+.  Items are purposely graded conservatively since I am not able to play test the vinyl. Here is a list of the items.
