Artist: Ritchie Valens Title:  His Greatest Hits (Memorial Album) Label/Number: Del-Fi DFLP-1225 (M) Jacket condition: EX Record condition: VG+ Notes: The cover is in very nice condition with some light ring wear, some minor seam and corner wear, and a small sticker stain on the back. The back cover lists the title as "Memorial Album". The labels are in nice condition with a few light spindle marks. The title on the labels is just "Ritchie". The vinyl is bright and glossy with a few light surface scratches that warrant grading it down a bit to VG+.  Grading: Grading is usually only visual for VG+ or better items, although if time allows I may play to verify the quality of a pressing or just to hear the music. VG items are usually only listed if they are fairly hard-to-find items and are always play graded. Regardless of the grade, if I do play the LP, I note the results in the item description. I use Goldmine standards with Ebay's EX grade added for items NOT QUITE up to NM.  Please read the notes above as I try to note anything that might influence the grading one way or another. I try to be conservative and grade as though I were buying the record and hope my feedback speaks well for my grading. Mono (M) or Stereo (S) is noted after catalog number. Don't hesitate to e-mail questions.   

Mailing and costs: Domestic shipping is via USPS Ground Advantage with delivery confirmation and insurance coverage up to $100.00. I ship in cardboard mailers made specifically for records with additional cardboard pads for added protection. Shipping and handling charges are a flat $6.00 for up to 2 LP’s and $1.00 for each additional after 2 with a maximum charge of $10.00. 

Overseas shipping is via eBay International Shipping. Cost will be calculated based upon destination. For combined shipping add $1.00 for each additional LP.

I always mail in a poly sleeve with the record outside the jacket. If there's an original inner sleeve I also remove the record from that and put it in a plain sleeve for mailing. That way, there are no seam splits on either the jacket or the sleeve due to any handling in the mail.  I'm always happy to combine shipping costs for multiple purchases.
