I played every title all the way through and I'm happy to report that they are all free of skips and repeats. You will find a more detailed report of each title's playback quality below:
Santana's Greatest Hits:
Vinyl is EX This record looks and sounds great
Jacket is VG+ minor shelf wear Inner Sleeve is VG the bottom and one side have medium splits and the remaining side seam is hinting at splitting
Beyond Appearances:
Vinyl is EX This record looks and sounds great
Jacket is VG+ minor wear and one corner ding Inner Sleeve is EX all seams are fully intact with no splits
Inner Secrets:
Vinyl is EX This record looks and sounds great
Jacket is VG/VG+ minor wear, creasing and one notable corner ding Inner Sleeve is EX but it appears to be a generic consumer replacement
Borboletta:
Vinyl is VG you'll hear surface noise between tracks and during softer passages
Jacket is VG notable wear and minor creasing, but no splits or rips
Inner Sleeve is VG the bottom and one side seam have short splits, but the remaining seam is intact
Abraxas:
Vinyl is VG you'll hear surface noise between tracks and during softer passages Jacket is VG notable wear, and splitting at the top and bottom near the opening
Santana (1971):
Vinyl is VG++ you'll hear surface noise between tracks and during softer passages, but barely ever. This record sounds really good for a vintage record and there's a good chance that this is an OG pressing from 1971
Jacket is VG shelf wear, and slight splitting at the top and bottom near the opening Inner Sleeve is VG the bottom seam has a split, but the remaining seams are intact
Santana (1969):
Vinyl is VG+ you'll hear light surface noise between tracks and during softer passages
Jacket is VG+ light wear, and the beginning of splitting at the bottom near the opening Inner Sleeve is VG all seams are free of splitting
please see grading descriptions below
Please review the pictures for further details on the condition of the jackets and inner sleeves (when relevant).
Your records will be shipped in a box and wrapped in shipper's wrap inside for further moisture protection. The record will be removed from the jacket and placed in the inner sleeve outside of it so that it doesn't slide around inside the jacket and create damage during transit. If the record has a unique picture sleeve the record will be placed in a generic sleeve for shipping.

If you have any special packing requests contact me BEFORE making payment so that I can adjust the shipping costs accordingly. Please do not bother to send me a message with packing instructions after payment as it will be disregarded.

REGARDING SHIPPING: The default shipping option that you see is Media Mail which is inexpensive, but sometimes unpredictable with no guaranteed delivery time. I have shipped over 2000 records using Media Mail without any hassles, but there have been a few instances where the record took a month to arrive and was stuck at a sorting facility for two or more weeks. If you want a faster method with a guaranteed delivery time I suggest that you choose the Priority Mail option.

Grading System Definitions:
Mint (M) - Perfect condition. Completely clean, no marks and unplayed. Almost only used for factory sealed items. Occasionally used for open, unplayed records.
Near Mint / Excellent (NM/EX) - Nearly perfect with shiny gloss, plays perfectly with no imperfections. Typically only played a few times or less. Cover will have no more than very minor imperfections, showing only signs of slight handling. Covers should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc. 
Very Good Plus (VG+) - Record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. 
Very Good (VG) - Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time.
Good (G) - The record can be played through without skipping but it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present. While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback. 
Fair (F) - The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully split, crinkled, and written upon.
