NOTE: Since this is an 11 album lot, shipping in the US will be $10 via USPS Media Mail.  Please wait for me to send an invoice with the corrected shipping charges.  I do combine shipping with other purchases.  If purchasing more than one item, please wait for invoice to be sent so I can adjust shipping charges.  Payment through Paypal only.  Please pay for order within 48-72 hours of purchasing.  Shipping occurs within 24-36 hours of receiving payment.

SIDE NOTE:  I have over 3000 records in my collection.  If you're looking for something but don't see it here, let me know.

Also, I have more records for sale over at mamagottaste.  I split them into two accounts at the end of last year for tax purposes, so I'll combine shipments if you purchase from both!

A note about my grading:  I think the Goldmine grading system leaves far too many gaps, so while I use that as a base, I have my own system.  The difference between VG+ and NM should have way more steps between it than 1.  I've graded tens of thousands of records, and you definitely need a bigger range than VG+ to NM (I consider anything less than VG+ to be not even worth owning unless it's so rare that it's all you have until a listenable record can replace it).  Please read below.  

VINYL GRADING:

SS ~ Sealed records : Still sealed in original shrink wrap

MINT : Pristine, perfect and flawless.  Usually reserved for sealed records

NM ~ NEAR MINT : The record should show no obvious signs of wear. The very slightest signs of use, truly near mint. May have a few slight paper scuffs on the vinyl that shuldn't affect play.

EX+ :  The record will show some signs that it was played and handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. There should be no obvious defects (Scratches/Warps).  Just a tiny step below NM

EX : Light use is evident, either slight needle marks or scuffs.  This grade record is still an exceptional play copy.

VG++ : Use is evident but not bad.  Record has some marks , very light scratches, though not feelable.  Will definitely play through with no skips.

VG+ : Average used record, looks OK, plays OK, noise is possible.  Some scratches, may be feelable, but will still play without skipping. 

VG : Vinyl has some groove wear or several scratches or some significant scratches. This record will play with noise that does not overwhelm the music.

G : Significant surface noise, scratches, visible groove wear , may skip or repeat.

  Grades for covers:   M : perfect. no wear, square flat corners, solid seams, spine etc., Usually sealed   NM : overall appearance of front and back near perfect but may have a very small problem such as a small corner ding/couple tiny spine chips, but nothing noticeable without close inspection.   EX : as above, nice "un-handled" feel, but may have more spine wear, a bent or dinged corner or two, very light ring wear, but rarely any splits or tears.   VG+:  Between VG and EX (usually closer to an EX grade), NO major seem splits over a an inch or two, No visible water damage.  Edge chipping and smaller splits possible, ring wear, and small name or writing possible but should be noted.   VG:  Still has a decent overall appearance, but may have split seams, spine splits, tears, staining, water damage, or other fault   VG- to G:  Significant wear.
