 ➪ ✅ FULL PLAY GRADE... record shows well, grading around VG+... great sound, quite nice surface with some faint sleeve scuffs and some random light marks that do not affect play, also a very slight pressing wave near outer edge that doesn't affect play... great playing record, no skips of course... the COVER is strong VG to VG+, downgraded a bit due to ancient yet clean tape at top and bottom seams. VPI cleaned. Great listen. Check the playback of the record playing here:  1. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ9TKj_JoSF/  2. https://youtu.be/OqbxGAleY4I

This will be cardboard padded on both sides, then custom boxed. Every box is taped well and marked fragile, double taped at corners.


PAYMENT :

eBay Managed Payments is now the default but PayPal is still accepted. If you have another form of payment you’d like to use, please send a message and I’ll see if I can accomodate your request.




GRADING:
I use Goldmine’s grading system and am quite conservative when assessing condition.
    SS = Still Sealed
any defects will be listed and/or photographed to complete the description

   NM- = Near Mint Minus
just short of perfect - acceptable defects would include a hairline mark not detectable to the touch and not affecting playback, background noise is nearly silent

   VG++ (EX) = Very Good Plus Plus
most records I will list fall under this grade, just short of NM- but may have a mark or contact wear to the label to grade it slightly lower, maybe a drill hole or saw cut, maybe a mark or name written on the label lightly, sound is still great, loud and near perfect, cover may have slight edge or corner wear, maybe slight ring wear 

   VG+ = Very Good Plus
a great record, sound is high quality though may have a few pops or clicks, overall very nice looking vinyl possibly with light marks & scuffs, labels may have a name or mark on them, possible light contact wear to the label, covers may have a small split but not large or gaping, edge wear on cover may show more than slight, may be a mark on cover 

  VG = Very Good
only records I will list with this grade would be rather rare or of higher book value, meant to sell as a filler until a better record comes along, vinyl may have feel-able marks but should play through without skipping, pops or clicks may be louder than usual, may have marks or wear on the label, cover may have open splits, wear on print, may have marks or other very apparent defects (all will be stated in description either by type or in the pictures)



SHIPPING PROCESS AND PACKAGING :

New notice as of Sept 2020! Overseas orders will now ship via eBay's International Service which ships Priority Mail to Kentucky and then jets off to the buyer. This is NOT the Global Shipping Program. Sellers simply print a shipping label and then send the record... I do not fill out forms by hand to avoid errors and protect both myself and buyers to insure the shipping data is correct. Please do not ask about altering final prices to avoid paying import fees... its out of my hands.
Due to COVID impacting the postal workforce, some orders will take longer to reach their destination. The local post master said our Greensboro, NC shipping hub has been inundated with overflow packages from New York and New Jersey that hadn’t been sent due. The workforce is limited and demand for shipping is much higher now that people are staying at home. Some countries are not even receiving packages from the US now. Please check and make sure there are no issues with your country’s mail system before placing an order!

All records are packaged tight for safe shipping. Vinyl is shipped outside the original sleeve in a separate, often new sleeve. I custom package every record with plenty of padding. 

45’s will be cardboard padded on both sides, then custom boxed. Every box is taped well and marked fragile, double taped at corners.
LP records ship outside their covers and sleeves to prevent damage. A custom box is built, and the resulting box is then taped well, marked fragile and double taped at corners.
78’s are first packaged between two pieces of 11” cardboard, taped well, then bubble wrapped. Additional bubble wrap is then laid out with void fill laid down, then the record sandwich followed by more void fill. This eventually makes a 4 to 5” bubblewrap ‘pillow’ which is then custom boxed, taped well, marked fragile and then double taped at the corners.
Tapes, CDs and all other media and items are packed tight in cardboard and padded appropriately. All packages are marked fragile and double taped to prevent opening or damage during delivery.
