Hello, I am a long-time eBay seller - since October, 1999.  I have a 100% feedback record, so bid and buy with confidence.  I have collected records for many years and every record I offer comes from my personal collection.  The grade I specify for the vinyl is based upon a playback as well as a visual inspection.  The grade I assign for the cover and inserts (if any) is based upon a close visual inspection.  My grading standards are conservative - I believe that it does no one any good to inflate the grade of the record only to have the buyer be disappointed upon receipt and wish to return it.  I offer a full, no-questions-asked return policy on every record I sell except in very rare circumstances.  In those rare cases, I clearly state the condition of the record and explain why I cannot accept a return on it.
For sale today is an excellent copy of Their Satanic Majesties Request album released in 1967 by the Rolling Stones.  What makes this album special is (1) it is in the mono format as a United States release (mono version is much scarcer than the stereo); and (2) the cover is Near Mint and is still in the shrink wrap (rare to find covers found like this).  
As to condition, the vinyl conservatively looks VG+ to VG++.  It lies flat, and retains much of its original sheen and shine. I grade it VG+ to VG++ mainly because of the presence of a few wispy lines and a couple of scuffs here and there, none of which affect its play.  Indeed, as to sound quality, it plays Near Mint.  No sticks or skips, only the rare pop or tick.   
The outer cover is in Near Mint condition.  Colors are full and vibrant, front and back.  All corners are sharp and square.  Spine is full and complete, no splits or tears.  Still in its original shrink wrap, which is tight and firm (I do note there is a tiny bit of shrink missing on the back cover toward the top right spine).    
The labels are in VG++ to Near Mint shape.  Keeping them from Near Mint are a few light spindle marks on both the Side 1 and Side 2 labels.  I also note that the label seems to be an unusual variation from the one(s) usually seen.  The song titles are not numbered, and it is missing the usual boiler print at the bottom (doesn't say "Made in USA," although it was; and it doesn't have warning language about "Unauthorized Public Performance," etc.).  As far as I can tell from my research, this label is one of the earliest versions used.  
The original inner sleeve is Mint.   
Since I purchased this album, I have stored the vinyl in an archival inner sleeve, which I then placed in a separate cardboard cover to best protect both the vinyl as well as the original outer sleeve (see photo).  Both the archival inner sleeve and the generic white outer cover will be included with the purchase and the record will be shipped in them to best protect the original outer cover as well as the vinyl.     
All in all, a great example of this great album by the Rolling Stones in the very rare mono promo format!  Thanks for looking.
