The Beatles ANTHOLOGY 3 - 3LP Vinyl U.S. Pressing - Sealed and Near Mint! Now's your chance to get this great Beatles collectible at a fair market price!
CONDITION: The LP is sealed and essentially in mint condition. However, the top of the gatefold cover has shifted over time so that, if viewed from above, one sees that the left-hand spine has shifted to the left, and the right side of the LP has shifted with it. Picture 11 shows how the corner of the gatefold looks more like a trapezoid than the 90 degree rectangle that it should have. Picture 12 shows the right side of the LP, where the front cover doesn't overlap perfectly with the rest of the cover. This is not a structural flaw, and nor is there ANY damage to the cover. If unsealed, I am confident the top of the gatefold can be re-shifted to bring each section of the cover into alignment.
In order to afford a more careful assessment of the LP, Pictures 3 through 10 show each LP corner (both sides) starting from the front upper left.
ABOUT SHIPPING AND HANDLING: Please note there is a $3 fee included in Ebay's estimate of Media Mail shipping costs. I believe the best way to way to ship an LP includes a 13"x14"x3" "pizza" style box, 12"x12" cardboard flats, outer shopping bag, and bubble wrap. The shipping boxes alone cost me over $3 each, and the average total cost of shipping materials is around $4.72, so this is NOT a money-maker for me. However, it does ensure, consistently, that these high value LPs arrive safely. Please check my feedback and I think you'll see that buyers appreciate the care with which these precious artifacts are handled.
COMBINED SHIPPING: I am more than happy to combine shipping. Ebay buyers pay the actual postage costs. If a single LP is purchased, the buyer pays actual postage and $3 for shipping materials. If two LPs are purchased, the buyer pays actual postage and $3 for shipping materials. If three or more LPs are purchased, the buyer pays actual postage and $0 for shipping materials (I will absorb the cost of materials). As the final amount can only be calculated after auctions have ended, I will issue the appropriate refund on the day the LPs are shipped.
About Me: I'm a long time Ebay buyer intent on selling a significant portion of my LP collection over the next year or two (or three!). I believe in the auction process, so I'm NOT going to list records at absurdly high prices, and I look forward to getting rare, out of print records into the hands of music lovers, record collectors and audiophiles (I consider myself all of the above). All LPS stored in a smoke-free, climate controlled environment.
Please check my feedback and BID WITH CONFIDENCE. Also, please take a look at other items I'm listing (new items will be listed on Sunday and Wednesday nights), and good luck!
PayPal Payments Only. Payment required within 3 days after the end of auction. All records will ship USPS Media Mail.
