Label: Cub 8003. Condition Cover/Record: VG++/VG. Mono. Disc has quite a few light surface marks but no feelers and does still retain most of its gloss. Not a bad copy as VG goes. The cover is quite nice with just a quarter inch split in the upper right seam. The spine is fully intact with all print clearly legible. There is some minor grime on the back which should easily clean up. See below for general grading standards.

All grading is based on close visual inspection under a revealing light. I grade nothing as being absolutely mint and my 40+ years of collecting tell me that my grading standards are on the conservative side. Because I believe in full disclosure and am certain you will be pleased with the stated condition, I offer a money-back guarantee if you are not. My very high positive feedback rating will attest to my integrity in dealing honestly with people. I will strive to list all pertinent information and welcome any questions if something is unclear or if more detail is desired.

All records are original U.S. first pressings unless otherwise stated. Domestic shipping cost for one record is $4.00 via "media" mail. I will be happy to quote a price for priority mail and will combine multiple purchases in order to reduce shipping cost. Records are shipped in custom record boxes with packing inserts. Vinyl is removed from cover to avoid seam splits in transit. Foreign shipping cost for one record is $22.50 via "first class international" mail. Registration may be required on foreign shipments at an additional cost of $14.00.



DISC (VINYL) GRADES



NM or M-

This is highest grade I will assign to open records. The vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and shiny. A very minor, barely visible scuff or two may be permitted, but no scratches. The label is bright, clean and unmarked. E or VG++

Disc may have minor paper scuffs. There may be a hairline scratch or two but nothing that is obvious. Vinyl is bright and shiny; label is clean and unmarked. VG+

Some visible surface wear with very minor scratches and scuffs. Vinyl will still have good luster; labels may have minor imperfections (small labels or initials, etc.) but otherwise clean. VG

Vinyl will have noticeable scratches or scuffs but none that should cause skips. Vinyl may appear somewhat dull and grayish. Labels may have small tears, tape marks, writing, etc. but still easily legible. There may be wear or deformation of the spindle hole.



ALBUM COVER GRADES



NM or M-

Very minor signs of wear or abrasions. Artwork is as close to perfection as possible. E or VG++

Minor disc impression or slight corner creases, no wrinkles, puckers, seam splits or writing on the cover. Artwork is clean and unworn and there is no ink wear. VG+

Cover is clean but may have minor writing or marks and show slight wear. There may be just the start of ring wear, where the disc has created a raised area on the cover that resulted in the ink wearing off the paper. There may be slight discoloration or staining, minor seam wear, but no splits or tears. Corners may have small creases or fraying. VG

Cover is worn. Seams may be starting to split or may be repaired with clear tape. There is moderate ringwear, but the artwork is still attractive. There may be yellowing or discoloration and there may be writing, labels, or marks. Corners may have damage or creases and there may be scratches or gouges that damage the artwork.
