The record(s) in this auction will be sleeved. Records will not always have original company sleeve or include original picture sleeve (when applicable) unless mentioned so in description. I don't mind rational inquiries and questions that are pertinent to my individual auction listings, but please, before contacting me with any question, read my entire item description and my auction related information. I will contact winning bidder, usually within 24 hours of auction close and provide shipping and payment details. Please, payments must be received within 10 days of my initial invoice providing total cost. I accept Paypal, but if Paypal is not a workable option for you, please contact me and other acceptable adaptations will be welcome. I do not respond to any nonsensical e-mails, to include requests for shipping cost (shipping cost provided, just click on choices), and I do not accept offers to close auction and sell at Buy It Now. Thank you.
Currently all my sales are only through ebay auctions. I do not accept want lists or special requests. Most of my items I list are contracted with owner to sell only at auction.

RECORD GRADING FOR 45'S
Bargain lot items are visually graded. Individual auction records are play graded. I place emphasis on play grade, maintain the highest professional standards, do spot check play grading on all individual auction items and always provide an accurate visual grade and label appearance. I play grade on a quality system with a high end cartridge in order to maintain a strict and undisguised play grade. I always keep my grading simple and fair and will not subject my customers to a proliferation of meaningless grades. If a record plays between two grades I always apply the lesser grade, I don't create a grade in an attempt to articulate a borderline evaluation.
nm....near mint, minimal to no surface noise and showing no major signs of wear. General groove appearance is excellent to like new and record has no imperfections. I have learned from over 30 years of experience that "mint" is too strong of a grading for a used 45 record evaluation. The only records that are entitled a "mint" grade on my listings are my new unplayed and unhandled store stock items.
vg+...very good plus, showing some signs of minor wear with minimal extraneous surface noise. No major imperfections. Grooves may have minor scuffs or surface scratches. A very playable and acceptable copy.
vg....very good, somewhat worn and mishandled copy with audible extraneous surface noise. Grooves may have visual scuffs and scratches. Still a very playable copy.
I do not auction poor condition 45's with cracks, deep scratches, digs, severe edge chips, closed grooves or severely warped and I do not artificially gloss any of my records.
