I played every title all the way through and there are a variety of different playback qualities. Please read the descriptions below for each title for more information regarding playback quality. In general, this lot is a bunch of shabby copies of Zeppelin records, but in some cases things are good. For example: the jacket and inner sleeves for Physical Graffiti are actually in pretty good condition even though the records are jacked, but in the case with ITTOD the record is pretty good but the cover is dreadful. So basically this an opportunity to acquire "parts" for Zeppelin collectors.
None of the records have had any sort of deep-groove cleaning performed on them so if you have any such machine you may be able to improve their various playback quality grades beyond what I have reported.
IV:
Vinyl is VG- (No skips, but plenty of ticks during playback)
Jacket is VG 
Inner Sleeve is G (long splits on all seams)
The Song Remains The Same:
Vinyl is F (skipping during No Quarter and lots of ticking elsewhere)
Jacket is VG (some wear but no splits, rips or creases - owner label/sticker still present)
Physical Graffiti:
Vinyl is F (skipping during Trampled Under Foot and lots of ticking elsewhere)
Jacket is VG+ (some wear but no splits, rips or creases) Inner Sleeves are EX & VG+ (one has the beginning of a split by way of wear) Insert is VG++
In Through The Out Door:
Vinyl is VG this record actually has passages of VG+ playback most of the time
Jacket is G+ (lots of wear/roaching but no rips or creases. Beginning of a split on spine) Inner sleeve is missing
II:
Vinyl is F (Ramble On is a train wreck, but the rest of the record is a VG playback w/ ticks and groove-wear)
Jacket is VG+ 
Houses of the Holy:***
Vinyl is VG (No skips, but plenty of ticks during playback)
Jacket is VG+
Inner Sleeve is VG+
*** Houses of the Holy is a first US pressing with the distinctive textured inner sleeve. The playback is strangely devoid of crackling (mostly) but plenty of ticks as mentioned above. Amongst the offerings in this lot this is the nicest one of the batch and probably worth the opening bid alone. 
please see grading descriptions below

Please review the pictures for further details on the condition of the jackets.
Your records will be shipped in a cardboard LP mailer 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.

My Grading System Definitions:
NM -  10/10 playback quality. Record is open, but sounds like new
EX -   9/10 playback quality. Might have a minor playback disruption or two, but nearly perfect in playback otherwise
VG++ 8/10 playback quality. Will have more minor disruptions than EX but still really good playback
VG+ - 7/10 playback quality. Will have light surface noise between tracks and maybe during fades and softer passages
VG   - 6/10 playback quality. Will have evident surface noise between tracks and softer passages/fades, but won't disrupt the listening experience most of the time. Might have ticks as well.
VG- - 5/10 playback quality. Will have obvious surface noise all the time, but not necessarily ticks or pops.
G+  - 4/10 playback quality. Will be crackly with some pops and ticks
G    - 3/10 playback quality. Will be crackly with plenty of pops and ticks
F    - 2/10 will have skips and likely be very crackly with ticks and pops. Likely warped as well.
W   - 1/10 will have skips and/or repeats. Will have lots of "snap crackle and pop" and probably warped as well.
