  For sale is King Crimson's In The Court Of The Crimson King, released in 1969. This record comes in a gate-fold presentation with the iconic Schizoid Man Cover. I bought this new, professionally cleaned it on my VPI HW-17 machine and put it into a MFSL archival inner sleeve.  The vinyl is graded as VG+ with faint sleeve marks and slight surface scratches that do not affect playback. The cover is graded as VG because of color loss around the spine and edges, as well as corner blunts. There is an absence of ring wear, but the top of the back cover is beginning to split. This still one of the best copies of this rare album that I have ever seen or heard. You would be hard pressed to find one like this one.   I've been collecting records for about 50 years now and have always cleaned them and put them away carefully in plastic inner sleeves. Over the years I've used Dust Bugs, Disc Washers and have finally invested in a professional VPI record cleaning machine. Now that I'm retiring, I'm selling my very esoteric collection. I'm not a professional grader of records, but will use record guides, as well as my personal experiences as a basis of my grading all records. Since grading is subjective, I will be conservative.
