“MASTER OF PUPPETS”
CBS/SONY-28AP-3169
This is a first pressing of this record released on May 21, 1986. This copy has a 4 page booklet, obi strip, and 2 inserts measuring 12x12 each.

Vinyl: Near Mint to Mint
Cover: Near Mint to Mint
Inserts: Near Mint to Mint
GRADING
I have been collecting vinyl for 25 years and I have always used the “Goldmine Grading System” to grade my records.
In particular, I would like to note that I don’t believe that grading standards should be relaxed for older records. Rather, record grading standards should be the same for records pressed in the 1950s and for a newly released record. It annoys me when I read some sellers describing a record as “mint for its age”. As far as I am concerned, what we classify as “mint” or “near mint” or any other grade for that matter does not change based on the age of the record. Standards should not deteriorate!
In addition, I assume that the contents of sealed records are mint since they are factory fresh, never having been tampered with. However, in reality, some records may not be mint on the first pull. Also, if a record is sealed and the cover appears absolutely perfect, I will still grade the cover near mint to mint.
Finally, even though a long play or box set is sealed, I feel that the exterior of the package still needs to be graded very carefully. Thus, I look for any defects on the exterior of still sealed items such as seam splits, creases that are visible through the shrinkwrap, discoloration on the cover, and damaged corners. Any defects to the exterior packaging of still sealed records will be noted in my ads, including cut-out slices and punch holes.
PACKAGING
All records are packaged to the best of my ability to prevent them from being damaged in transit. In particular, I take great care to ensure that the corners of record covers do not get dinged in transit.
When I buy records on E-bay I always ask that the E-bay seller packs the record so there is no chance that the corners of the cover can get damaged in transit. I feel that if I buy near mint to mint cover, then I should get a near mint to mint cover. And if I sell a record that has the cover graded near mint to mint, then that is what you should get as a buyer.
