Please look closely at record photos to eliminate picture/camera reflections, which can appear as marks without zooming. All non-sealed albums should be thoroughly cleaned prior to use.  Bid with confidence! See my reviews for further confidence in the vinyl records I'm moving.

EX (EXCELLENT) = Record may have a few scuffs or light scratches which should not affect sound quality. VG (VERY GOOD) = Record has some scuffs and scratches which may result in some minor surface noise during play.
