I am a retiring record collector selling off a good portion of my collection. I realized as I get older I have less and less time to do what I love and have more stuff than I care to upkeep. I have collected these records between the years of 2004 to 2023 and have made the decision to end this part of my life in lieu of family and adventure. I hope my records find a wonderful home where they will be loved as much as I have loved them through the years. 

I have been very meticulous in how the records have been handled and stored. These records have been stored upright inside a protective plastic sleeve for the entire length of my ownership. I have been the only one to handle them as I have not allowed anyone else touch these records since my acquisition, in fear they may get scuffed or scratched. I only touch the outer edge and central pin hole of a record when handling it. Before playing a record, I wipe it off with an anti-static pad made specifically for cleaning records and I have not added a single blemish to any of these records since my acquisition, so the existing scuffs and marks are from the person who owned the record before me. The records come from a non-smoking, pet-free home since I have had them, but previously, some have come from a smoker’s home. When I acquired the record that smelled of smoke, I let it air outside in a shady area free of major humidity. There may still be a faint trace of a smoky smell. If it does smell smoky to me, I will note it. I will be completely honest in my grading of the vinyl, however, since I am emotionally attached to most of these, I may grade it higher than you would. I will detail in the listing whatever blemishes I find. 

Regarding blemishes, when it comes to scratches on the vinyl surface, I DO play the record to test whether the scratch can be heard during play. If it can be heard or not, I WILL note it. 

Regarding blemishes, when it comes to visuals on the cover, I will note what I can, but when it comes to small dents in the spine, edge, or any other really small blemishes, I may miss some. I will document what I can with each album.

Regarding inner sleeves, I have bought most of these records used. If it didn’t come with an inner sleeve, I have since added one to the album, but it is a plain white sleeve.

Regarding inserts/other special things that came with record albums, I will document what I have. If it is not documented, then I do not have it.

Regarding shipping, I will send the records out packed to the best of my abilities so they do not bend.
