Artist: Ultimate Spinach Title: Ultimate Spinach Label/Number: MGM SE-4518 (S) Jacket condition: VG+ Record condition: VG+ Notes: The cover is in decent condition with some light ring wear and some seam and corner wear. The top seam on the front cover is split for a few inches at the spine. The top seam on the back cover is split and neatly taped for its full length. The original owner wrote his initials in small letters on the top right corner of the front. The labels are in nice condition with a few tiny flakes around the hole on both sides. The vinyl is bright and glossy with some light surface scratches that lead me to grade it down a little to VG+. As an added bonus the record is still contained in its original MGM inner sleeve.  Grading: Grading is usually only visual for VG+ or better items, although if time allows I may play to verify the quality of a pressing or just to hear the music. VG items are usually only listed if they are fairly hard-to-find items and are always play graded. Regardless of the grade, if I do play the LP, I note the results in the item description. I use Goldmine standards with Ebay's EX grade added for items NOT QUITE up to NM. Please read the notes above as I try to note anything that might influence the grading one way or another. I try to be conservative and grade as though I were buying the record and hope my feedback speaks well for my grading. Mono (M) or Stereo (S) is noted after catalog number. Don't hesitate to e-mail questions.    Mailing and costs: Domestic shipping is via USPS Ground Advantage with delivery confirmation and insurance coverage up to $100.00. I ship in cardboard mailers made specifically for records with additional cardboard pads for added protection. Shipping and handling charges are a flat $6.00 for up to 2 LP’s and $1.00 for each additional after 2 with a maximum charge of $10.00.

Overseas shipping is via eBay International Shipping. Cost will be calculated based upon the weight of the package and the destination. 

I always mail in a poly sleeve with the record outside the jacket. If there's an original inner sleeve I also remove the record from that and put it in a plain sleeve for mailing. That way, there are no seam splits on either the jacket or the sleeve due to any handling in the mail.  I'm always happy to combine shipping costs for multiple purchases.
