I AM SELLING MY RECORD COLLECTION!

This is one of many albums and singles that I will be letting go of in the coming weeks and months. 

Please keep an eye on my other auctions for more vinyl; I have many different artists, genres, etc.   Around 150 items all told in the 12" section plus a couple 10" items, a box set, and a fair number of 7" singles as well.

About my vinyl auctions:  all will start at $0.99 with no reserve, regardless of rarity and/or condition.  All pictures will be of the item being sold, no stock and/or generic images, no re-used images from other auctions.   International shipping.  Combined shipping on multiple auctions won.  Other shipping options may be available: if you think there is a less expensive option out there that isn't mentioned in the shipping section, let me know and I will look into it.  My arsenal of lp mailers, USPS Priority Mail flats, bubble wrap, cardboard inserts, newspaper, etc, stands at the ready to ensure that every record will go out with the best chance possible of making it to you unscathed.  Every item will be described in detail, using the grading system posted online by the Record Collectors Guild, so that you know exactly what you are bidding on.  Play testing of the vinyl is, however, impossible as I do not own a turntable. This basic format will be used for all. 

More notes on grading:  I will never grade a record as Mint, not even sealed records; Near Mint is as high as I will go.  Also, eBay has a grade called "Excellent" which I am unfamiliar with and will also never use.  The next grade down from Near Mint is Very Good Plus.  Finally, I will never sell a record that I consider to be in Poor condition; the lowest possible grade for a record at auction is Good.  All told the possible grades are, in order from lowest to highest, Good - Good Plus - Very Good - Very Good Plus - Near Mint.

On to the item specifics:  this auction is for one (1) The Beatles 1 double 12" vinyl album. 

Label: Apple (the record company, not the iStuff people)
Catalog number: 529 3251


Stickers on the front: there is a "Made in England" sticker right smack dab in the center of the front of the album cover.

Stickers on back:  none.

Cover condition:  This one I am giving a Very Good Plus despite the sticker.  It is my belief that the manufacturer put that there; I could be wrong.  Besides the sticker, the cover is beautiful; bright and vibrant colors, nice and clean, but does show signs of having been handled such as some wear at the corners.  This is another one I am tempted to grade as Near Mint but it just doesn't quite seem to cut it.

Insert(s) condition: Same as above, Very Good Plus.  Poster has never been displayed, still folded up neatly.  eBay's default description for this item mentions a "30 page booklet" but I see no evidence of that.  Where would it go?  It would at least double the size of the album.  Everything included is what is shown in the pictures: two records, each housed in inner sleeves, the poster, and the four color prints.

Record(s) condition:  Near Mint.  Near Mint make me nervous as it doesn't take much to drop it down to VG+, but after careful examination I just don't see anything wrong with either record.  They are both beautiful, like new condition.
