Grading is a subjective thing.  As Goldmine states, there is a high end and low end within all grade levels.  I have provided many photographs so that you can examine the item very carefully.  You will receive exactly what is photographed.

 

PROMOTIONAL COPIES:  Promotional copies usually came from FIRST PRESSINGS.  First pressings matter to audiophiles.  Cover drills (holes), corner cuts and cover notches were a common way for the record labels to mark and identify non-returnable promo copies. These covers may not look the best but it may be the best vinyl you can find.  If it's the listening experience you're looking for you may want to give one a try.
