Up for auction: 
Artist: Freddie Hubbard   Title: Hub-Tones 
Record Description: Blue Note NY USA labels; ear, Van Gelder in dead wax. 
Side A Visual / Play Grade: G+. Probably more VG visually, but there's a few extra light marks, so I'd rather be conservative. Side starts with a little heavier noise that settles down quickly. After that the side is a rather solid VG and is really more VG+ towards the end of the side.
Side B Visual / Play Grade: G+. This side is a little more marked up than Side A. There's also a mark/pressing mark or dimple in the middle of B2. Fully play tested and the side starts off with some heavier noise like Side A but settles into VG play after a minute or two and lasts until the mark. The mark is pretty small, but doesn't look too great. I've play tested the mark on a couple of different turntables. All it did for me, thankfully, was create about ten clicks and it did not jump or skip for me. The remainder of the side is VG.
Cover: VG+. Solid, nice cover. Some very light general wear and a couple stains on the back are the only real wear to the cover. Top and bottom edge are nice. Spine is solid and legible. 


Some extra information about my auctions:
Grading Notes: I try my very best to grade accurately and conservatively. Everything listed here has been given a full and recent play test. For my listings, I'll be describing the playing surface of each side visually and giving them a grade based on what I've seen in shops and online. I'll also be playing each side of the record and assigning them a grade based on the criteria below. Just want to provide as much info as possible as to what you are going to receive. I listen to mono records in mono and stereo records in stereo. 
M: Won't be used. NM: Perfect record and cover. Generally only used for sealed records.  EX (VG++): Could have a few seconds of light noise or a tic, but should play pretty much perfectly. VG+: Some light noise background noise coming up occasionally and maybe a few soft tics, but should never get in the way of enjoyment of the music. VG: Might have some repeating tics or a longer duration of noise than a VG+, but absolutely enjoyable still. G+: Heavier noise, clicks or crackling are all possible through all or most of the song. I also use this grade for records that may have a jump or repeating skip. I'll note this when/if applicable. G: Heavy clicking and crackle throughout likely. Might have multiple jumps/skips.

All records have been cleaned on a VPI and placed into a new inner sleeve. Most of the time the original inner sleeve will not be included. If it is there, it will be pictured or mentioned in the listing. Please feel free to check with me if you would like to know. 
Cover Grading:  I'll always put a grade on the cover, but I think your eyes are the best judge for the front/back. I'll tell you about any wear or splits to the top/bottom edge. I'll describe wear to the spine and if it is legible.


Shipping: All items are carefully packed and shipped via USPS Media Mail.  Each LP is $5 and $1 extra for multiple wins. If you'd like to upgrade to Priority or would like to add insurance, please let me know before you pay and I can make the adjustment. I'm pretty quick to get packages out, most likely within 24 hours of payment. 
International shipping is done via USPS and is $28. Each additional is $4.  If you win more than two LPs, I'd like to discuss the best and cheapest way to get you your records after the auctions.  I've found that costs vary so much and are hard to predict country to country and a case by case basis for larger orders is the best method. 

Other: Any record listed in G+ or worse condition are sold As Is. International orders are sold As Is. I will not do partial refunds. Returns within the USA are accepted.
Thank you for stopping by!!
