For sale is the Statesmen Quartet Encores Album from the estate of a local collector, most of whose records look to be barely played. This is the 1960 Skylite LP 5968 release. Special notes about this album: 

I have not made any attempt to clean the album; which means that I don't clean the vinyl just before taking the picture in order to "improve" the appearance of gloss. I leave all cleaning to the preference of the buyer.

I use the Goldmine visual grading checklist. This has not been tested on a player, so I am rating it on visual standards. That said, album grading is subjective, so I encourage additional questions. Below is my rating for the album and components:

Vinyl album: VG (decent shine, some light scratches, 4 long scratches you can feel with a fingernail)

Album cover: VG++ (nice finish, light corner wear, corner wear, tiny written notation on back)

Insert sleeve: VG+  (paper, wax, edge wear )

Please ask questions before bidding so that I can insure you know exactly what you are bidding on.  Because I offer multiple pictures and detailed descriptions and prompt reply to questions, I do not offer a standing refund option.  However, if I made a mistake (I am human), or you have a concern about my grading of the album, please contact me, and I will do everything reasonably possible to make it right, and my feedback reflects that.  I want both us to come out winners here.  You can expect the items I sell to be smoke-free, unless I specifically state otherwise.

At your request, I will be happy to create a combined shipping invoice on multiple purchases, subject to size/weight restrictions or any other eBay policy limitations. However, eBay's Global Shipping Program may limit combined shipping for international buyers. Also, I am not ever able to provide international returns. As of 2019, many U.S. states have begun to require that eBay sellers charge sales tax on purchases made from residents of their state. If your state requires a sales tax payment, that tax payment will show up on your invoice for final payment. I'm sorry about this added cost, but it is a requirement of your state and not a cent goes to me. Payment for purchases are expected within 3 days of auction end. Have fun.
