I am not a professional grader this is just my best assessment.

Record grading is highly subjective as every record is different and
while some aspects of a grade may be present others may not.
 I offer these grades as a guide for the shopper.
If you feel I have made a mistake in grading your purchase
please contact me before leaving feedback
and I will make it right for you.

Please ask any questions before bidding.

See all photos to confirm condition,
I will provide more photos upon request.

I make every effort to describe items accurately. Please feel free to ask questions
and remember to check all photos before purchase. Good luck!

I package carefully and securely and ship quickly after cleared payment.

Combined shipping is available at $.50 for each additional disk.
