Over the next few days, i will be listing about 80 vinyl records from my personal collection.  I have been collecting records now for the last 20+ years and just over the last couple years i have been selling off that collection.  Many of these vinyl's will be original releases, some will still have shrink and hype stickers intact and may have original inserts and all of them are rated in VG to NM condition all the way around from the cover to the vinyl itself.  Several will also be limited edition reissues and many of those will be still factory sealed.  A little bit about how i handle my vinyl collection.  When i receive a record the first thing i do is to place the insert inside the cover if it came with one and was shipped outside.  Next i always place the cover inside a brand new fresh 3mm plastic vinyl sleeve for protection.  Next, i always clean the vinyl and play test it for any skips or noticeable popping sounds or other flaws.  I make note of any scratches and how they effect the play back of the record.  Once i am done grading the record, it goes in a brand new fresh audiophile sleeve to keep it in exactly the same condition as i received it in.  Periodically i will play my records for my own listening pleasure but many go un-played after that initial play test and cataloging.  Any time i play my record, i always clean it before each play and after each play to ensure it is kept in the best condition possible.  I also clean the needle on my turn table before each play.  As you can see, i take a lot of pride in my record collection and keeping it in the best condition possible so that when i do sell them, you will know exactly what you are buying and there are no surprises. 
Today's auction is for a 1988 Capitol Records 2nd Press US release for the band Poison titled Open Up And Say...Ahh!  This is the 2nd version since the first release had to be pulled due to the cover being offensive, released shortly after first editions were removed from the shelves.  Cover on this album is in VG condition, it has some edge wear and some light creasing and ring wear but nothing serious at all, looks real nice.  This also includes the original colored insert sleeve which does have some splitting on both sides and the bottom but looks real nice over all.  The vinyl itself is in VG condition, it does have some minor marks and scratches but they do not affect the play of the record as it plays through on both sides with no issues.
