Description

Hello, and welcome to my listing. Most of my LP's are from a magnificent collection that belonged to my Father who worked at a record store as a young man. I have many duplicates and many still unopened in mint condition. Some of course i picked up at record stores in my youth and some are from elder relatives, all this meaning that most are true first editions.

I am not a certified record grader but have spent much time researching and handling the LP's which i list. I grade according to the standards set by Record Pricing Guides and other sellers aspect to standardized  grade expectations. I do my best according to my visual aspect. PLEASE SEE BELOW MY GRADING SCALE AS I WANT ALL CUSTOMERS TO ALWAYS FEEL THEY RECEIVED EXACTLY WHAT THEY PURCHASED. Should i feel need or am requested to play any LP before shipping i will also verify it is in working condition.

I DO COMBINE SHIPPING BASED ON TOTAL WEIGHT AS OPPOSED TO OTHERS WHO CHARGE ??? FOR EACH ADDITIONAL ITEM. YOU SAVE MORE THIS WAY BECAUSE IM NOT CHARGING YOU EXTRA JUST TO PUT ANOTHER ITEM INTO THE SAME PACKAGE.

  • GRADING SCALE

MINT: UNOPENED SEALED

ML: MINT LIKE, OPENED AND USED BUT SO VERY CLEAN WITH OR WITHOUT SHRINK OVER COVER IT APPEARS UNUSED.

NM: NEAR MINT, WITH SUCH GREAT LUSTER AND CLEAN BUT HAVING SOME MINOR SCUFFS.

VG: VERY GOOD. MAY SHOW SOME AGE BUT HAS GREAT LUSTER AND MOSTLY CLEAN. AGE DOES FACTOR INTO THIS EQUATION AND IF A LP IS 40, 50, 60 YEARS OLD IT MAY BE GRADED VG IN REGARDS TO HOW OLD IT IS AND HOW WELL IT HAS HELD UP DESPITE VISUAL FLAWS.

VG+: MEANING IF NOT FOR ONE OR TWO FLAWS WOULD GRADE NM.

VG-: MEANING HAS SOME VISUAL FLAWS BUT SHOWS LESS USE AND TOO GOOD TO BE GRADED "G".

G: GOOD MEANING IT HAS VISUAL FLAWS SUCH AS WRITING ON COVER, HEAVY WEAR ON EDGES, LABELS PLACED OR GLUED ON BY PREVIOUS OWNERS. WORKING ORDER WITH NO SKIPS BUT HAS SCUFFS AND SHOWS WARE ON VINYL.

G+: GOOD PLUS MEANING VERY CLOSE TO VG SUCH AS ALL LOOKS VERY GOOD BUT IF NOT FOR ONE FLAW SUCH AS FOREIGN LABELS OR WRITING BY PREVIOUS OWNER IT WOULD CERTAINLY GRADE VG.

AC: ACCEPTABLE MEANING WORKING CONDITION WITH MULTIPLE VISUAL FLAWS SUCH AS COVER MAY HAVE SPLIT POCKET SEAMS. OR HEAVY WEAR ON VINYL WITH SCRATCHES.

THERE ARE MINOR VARIATIONS OF THESE DEFINITIONS BETWEEN GRADES GIVEN TO COVERS AND GRADES GIVEN TO VINYL SO, AS A RECORD LOVER I WOULD RECOMMEND ASKING QUESTIONS SO YOU UNDERSTAND WHY A ITEM WAS GRADED ANYTHING LESS THAN VG AS IT MAY BE ONLY A SMALL FLAW THAT AS A SELLER IN GOOD CONSCIENCE COULD  NOT SEND YOU ANYTHING LESS THAN WHAT YOU EXPECT.

Thank you for looking and please add me as a favorite seller as i list new items very frequently and have only a few current listings of what is a collection of over 1000 LP's.
