Elvis Presley 24 Vinyl LP Lot:2 Still Factory Sealed+22 More w/Tested G.I. Blues

This is my fourth auction of vintage Elvis Presley albums.  This lot includes 24 titles and 25 albums.  Two albums are still factory sealed and have never been opened.  Double Dynamite contains 2 records so that means 25 total albums.  All of the albums in my Elvis Presley lots were purchased before 1980 (unless it's a collection item made later than 1980).  And please note that these items remained in my family and in the same house after purchase.  Yes, some were purchased back in the 1950's and 1960's as well.  Please refer to the album numbers to be able to look up release dates for this auction.  I successfully played both sides of G.I. Blues on my record player.  It sounded great - no skips at all.  To my untrained ears, Side B might have had more static than Side A.  But it played well and had that nostalgic sound for vinyl.  Anyway, here is the list of the 24/25 albums included in this particular auction: 
Still Factory Sealed 1. CAL-2428 Elvis' Christmas Album (Mono) 2. LSP-3921 Elvis' Gold Records Volume 4
Opened Originals 3. LSP-2256 G.I. Blues (Living Stereo) 4. LSP-2756 Fun in Acapulco 5. LSP-3338 Girl Happy 6. LSP-2621 Girls! Girls! Girls! 7. CAS-2408 Let's Be Friends (blue label) 8.

Naturally the still factory sealed albums are in fantastic shape.  But the opened vinyl records are also in great shape.  Meaning I'm rather confident that they would play without issues at all.  If you want me to test a particular album please let me know.  15 of the 22 open titles still have their original factory plastic - but of course they are split opened on the side to be able to get the records in and out.  You know what I mean.  And of the 22 opened titles, 20 of them still have the original internal sleeves as well.  Please zoom in on all the pictures.  I spliced together combinations of 3 albums at a time - with pictures of the front and the back of the albums and sleeves.  The G.I. Blues album has some wear on the cover for sure - even with brown stains.  I just wanted to mention that specifically.
I plan to ship via USPS Media Mail using a 14x14x6 inch box that will weigh about 15 pounds and likely cost $12.01 to ship.  I'm asking for $6.99 from the auction winner to help with the shipping expense.  Shipping via media mail will take longer to deliver than Priority Mail.  So please be patient.  When I receive eBay notification of the auction winner's payment, I will ship either the same day or the next day - if the Post Office is still open.
The 24 albums in this auction were collected by my mom who graduated high school in 1957.  She was an Elvis fan from the beginning.  Almost all of the albums my mom purchased were bought before Elvis Presley died in 1977.  In fact, Elvis died on my mom's birthday August 16th.  Yep, my mom was a big fan and he died on her actual birthday.  I was 9 years old at the time and remember it clearly.  After his death my mom went on a little collection shopping spree to make sure she owned every one of his albums.  She already had virtually all of them.  But off we went to a bunch of stores to make sure we had the complete collection.  She bought a book that was a discography which listed all of Elvis records - I think it was entitled All American Elvis.  Indeed she successfully purchased at least one version of every album Elvis released in the United States of America.  I recall that there were two of his albums that we had a hard time finding.  They were Elvis: Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis (with Graceland on the cover) and the album entitled Elvis (from 1973) which contains the song named Fool.  But we eventually found these two hard to find albums.  Not sure if those albums are hard to find anymore.  But back in 1977 and in Pennsylvania they were hard for us to find going store to store in person via our old school collecting technique.  : - )
My mom also collected over 600 Elvis items including probably all or most of his cassettes, 8-tracks, VHS movies (more than 1 copy) and books, magazines, fan club prints, posters, etc.  Oh and none of these items including the albums in the auction have never left our family's house.  I moved back into the house after most of my family died including my mom, dad, and wife - God rest their beautiful souls.  Here's a brief summary of the collection that I will likely auction off in groups over the months ahead.  Please feel free to ask questions about what I have in the collection.  I would certainly try to prioritize whatever interests you.
- 145+ vinyl albums, 37 of these are still in the factory sealed plastic.  The collection includes at least one copy of every album he released in the USA. - 90+ vinyl singles in two carrying cases (70 unique singles with 20 duplicates). - 135 8-tracks in four carrying cases. - 84 cassettes in two carrying cases. - 105 VHS videos, 30 of them are still unopened sealed VHS videos.  There is at least one copy of each of his 33 movies. - Large number of other items including books, posters, pictures, puzzles, magazines, fan club memorabilia, and trading cards, etc.
I am not a business; I'm just a private owner whose family has been in possession of these items since they came out (or thereabouts).  I'm simply trying to make people happy before I go to judgment.  When all of the items of interest are auctioned off, my online garage sale will end.  Oh and just for your information - I never use a reserve price in my auctions.  Please remember that these items are sold as are, no returns.  Thank you.
