All the records are in VG to NM condition. The worst just have some scuffs and small marks, but none are bad. They all play clearly and nicely. Some perfectly.

By the way, I know the first photo shows 11 records, but one was a double, I just discovered. And that double isn't in great condition. I can include it if you want it.
