Grading/Condition Descriptions (unless otherwise noted, grading is by visual inspection):

 

‘Mt’ = Mint.  Perfect and in sealed, original shrink-wrap/packaging.  I use this grade rarely, if ever.

‘NrMt‘ = Near Mint.  As close to perfect as you can get, no visible scuffs/scratches.  Played only a couple times, at most.

‘EX+’ = Excellent +.  Vinyl may have 1 or 2, if any, minor surface scuffs, but certainly no scratches.  Label has no evidence of wear, no writing and sharp coloring.  Jacket has no seam splits, no creases, clean edges/corners, no ring-wear, no writing.

‘EX’ = Excellent.  Vinyl has only a couple minor surface scuffs, but certainly no scratches.  Label has very slight evidence of wear, no writing and sharp coloring.  Jacket has no seam splits, no creases, very minor chipping at edges/corners, very minor ring-wear no writing.

‘EX-’ = Excellent -.  Vinyl has a few surface scuffs, but certainly no scratches.  Label has slight evidence of wear, no writing and sharp coloring.  Jacket has no seam splits, no creases, very minor chipping at edges or minor bumped corners, minor ring-wear, no writing.

‘VG+’ = Very Good +.  Vinyl has a few surface scuffs and/or very minor scratches (but no ‘feeler’ scratches).  Label shows some evidence of wear, no writing.  Jacket has no seam splits, but has 1-2 small hairline creases and/or minor chipping at edges or bumped corners, some ring-wear, no writing.

‘VG’ = Very Good.  Vinyl has numerous surface scuffs and/or very minor scratches (but no ‘feeler’ scratches).  Label shows some evidence of wear, no writing.  Jacket has no seam splits, but has a few hairline creases and/or chipping at edges or bumped corners, moderate ring-wear, no writing.

‘VG-’ = Very Good-.  Vinyl has numerous surface scuffs and minor scratches (but no ‘feeler’ scratches).  Label shows evidence of wear and/or has small amount of writing.  Jacket has small seam split (less than 2” long) or has numerous small creases and/or chipping at edges or bumped corners or small amount of writing, moderate ring-wear.

‘G’ = Good.  Vinyl has numerous surface scuffs/scratches and probably a ‘feeler’ scratch (as noted in listing).  Label shows a lot of wear and/or some writing.  Jacket has seam split (less than 6” long) or numerous moderate creases and/or major chipping at edges and corners, water damage/stains, or major writing, or heavy ring-wear.

‘P’ = Poor.  Not worth describing.

 

 

Shipping and Handling:

All LP’s are securely packaged in a protective shipping mailer/box.  The mailers are made of stiff cardboard and I've found them to be very reliable.  In order to take advantage of the shipping discounts on multiple purchases, please pay for all items in one transaction.  When calculating the shipping, please note a Double LP Set is considered two LP's, Boxed Collections are based on the # of discs in the collection.

 

Shipping and handling rates (and associated shipping discounts for multiple purchases) are as follows, based on destination:

USA  - $5.00 1st LP + $1.00 each additional LP  (Media Mail)

Canada  - $17.00 1st LP + $5.00 each additional LP  (Airmail/First Class International)

Mexico  - $25.00 1st LP + $5.00 each additional LP  (Airmail/First Class International)

International (all other)  - $25.00 1st LP + $5.00 each additional LP  (Airmail/First Class International)

 

Domestic/USA Customers - The normal/default shipping method is 'Media Mail' via the US Postal Service, since that's the method I've found most people choose.  It is a little slower than Priority Mail, but cheaper and very reliable.  The Post Office says delivery time is 3-9 days, though it's usually to you in less than a week.
