Artist: Tony Bellus Title: Robbin' the Cradle Label/Number:  NRC LPA-8 (M) Jacket condition: NM Record condition: NM Notes: The front cover slick appears to have been creased before being installed and has a line from top to bottom about 2 inches from the opening. As a result, I've graded an otherwise NM cover down a little to a conservative EX. The labels are in nice condition with no flaws of note. The vinyl is bright and glossy and shows no signs of wear.  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 media mail with delivery confirmation. 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.
