Here's 2 great albums, one from Lynyrd Skynyrd:
The original cover sleeve for Street Survivors had featured a photograph of the band standing on a city street with all its buildings engulfed in flames, some near the center nearly obscuring Steve Gaines's face. After the plane crash, this cover became highly controversial. Out of respect for the deceased (and at the request of Teresa Gaines, Steve's widow), MCA Records withdrew the original cover and replaced it with a similar image of the band against a simple black background, which was on the back cover of the original sleeve. Conspiracy theorists have long claimed that only those band members touched by flame in the photograph were killed in the crash, but this is not true (flame appears to touch nearly all band members).

1.  Lynyrd Skynyrd - "Street Survivors" - MCA Records label 3029 from 1977. Condition of vinyl is VG+, nice. Condition of labels is VG+ with name in ink both sides. Condition of gatefold cover is VG+ with minor edge and surface wear, name in ink front and center. Goldmine Record Album Guide values this album at $35.00 NM.
AND ONE FROM ROSSINGTON COLLINS BAND
The Rossington Collins Band was an American  band founded in 1979 by guitarists  and  following the 1977 plane crash which killed three members of , of which both had been members. The band included two other surviving members of Lynyrd Skynyrd,  and . The band wished to develop their own sound rather than being regarded as a reformed Lynyrd Skynyrd, and toward that objective they hired a female lead vocalist, , who later married Rossington. The -based band released two albums before disbanding in 1982.
2. Rossington Collins Band - This Is The Way - MCA Records label 5207 from 1981. Condition of vinyl is VG+, nice. Condition of labels is NM.  Condition of gatefold cover is VG+, nice. Includes heavy custom inner sleeve with song lyrics and advertising item. Goldmine Record Album Guide values this boxed set at $20.00 NM.

I grade as per Goldmine Record Album Guide, see below.

I try to grade as best I can, but sometimes I miss things, not intentionally.

If item is not as you expected it would be, let me know, I will refund your purchase price.

Goldmine Record Album grading system.

Mint (M)

Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all.

Near Mint (NM or M-)

The record should show no obvious signs of wear. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like. Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap. Near Mint is the highest price listed in all Goldmine price guides. Anything that exceeds this grade, in the opinion of both buyer and seller, is worth significantly more than the highest Goldmine book value.

Very Good Plus (VG+)

 A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.

Very Good (VG)

 Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.

Good (G), Good Plus (G+)

 Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
