Up for auction is my first pressing Elektra/Megaforce Records LP of Metallica, Master of Puppets. I am downsizing my collection and it's time to let this one go. I will go out of my way to give a very complete description, as I don't want a buyer to be disappointed. 
The outer sleeve is in excellent condition, almost Near Mint - the rear panel has some wrinkling near the bottom left corner of the back panel, and there is a very thin scratch, almost unnoticeable to the color on the rear panel, near the "Master of Puppets" title on the side 1 track list. Please see the second photo for details. Otherwise the outer sleeve is Near Mint - beautiful color, the spine and top and bottom edges are really nice and have complete color. T
The record itself is near mint on both sides, super shiny like new. There is a tiny spot about 1/32 of an inch in diameter at the start of track 3 on side 1, but doesn't affect play. Both labels are near mint, beautiful condition. The stampers numbers are STE-60439-A DMM 1, and STE-60439-B DMM 1. SterlingSound-DMM-1 is inscribed in the dead wax on both sides.
The original inner sleeve would be near mint, as both sides have complete color, no rubs or tears, however there is a two inch slit in the bottom edge, a two inch slit in one of the side edges, and a one inch slit in the other side edge so I'll call it VG+. I will ship the record in a Mobile Fidelity sleeve, this is what I do for all my records anyway. Shipping only to the United States, via US Postal Service media mail.
