For sale is Taylor Swift 1989 Vinyl 2xLP 2014 1st US Pressing VG+/NM READ BMRBD0500E. Comes from a pet home. Shipped with USPS Media Mail.
Condition/Grading:

• Sleeve/Jacket: VG+ to NM. The jacket has light wear including dings, edge wear, and light ring wear. The inner paper sleeves have light ring wear and creasing as well. There is a light stain on the back of the jacket.
• Records: VG+. Conservatively graded. Play tested. The records have light wear including paper scuffs, light dings, and hairline scratches that do not affect play. There is some surface noise at the beginning of "Welcome to New York" and in the runouts after "Style" and "Shake it Off," but does not overpower audio; the rest of the album plays clean. The entire album plays through without skipping. There is a stain/mark, as well as some scratches, in the runouts after "Style"; I had the records cleaned twice at my local record store but it did not come out, the employee told me it is likely a pressing plant defect. Some of the hairline scratches are on "Shake it Off" but they do not affect play. Please note that I had difficulties removing both records from my turntable as the spindle holes are a bit small; putting them on my turntable and taking them off a couple times helped loosen the holes a bit so it shouldn't be too much of an issue now. This is a first US press from 2014 with RJ STERLING and ? stamped in the runouts. Please see photos for condition. If not for these flaws, the records would be considered near mint.

I typically grade records using the following grading scale:

• Mint (M) - Perfect, unplayed condition, sometimes brand new and sealed.

• Near Mint (NM or M-) - Almost perfect condition. Likely unplayed, no imperfections during play. No obvious signs of wear; cover, poster, inserts, etc. have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable flaws.

• Very Good Plus (VG+) - Clear signs of play and that it has been taken good care of. Cosmetic flaws such as light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect play. Barely noticeable ring wear, discoloring, or other cosmetic defects. Spindle marks may be present.  Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. 

• Very Good (VG) - Slightly more flawed than VG+ records. Noticeable surface noise, but not to the point of overpowering the audio. Noticeable groove wear, light scratches that can be felt with a fingernail, may affect play. Labels and LP covers may contain writing, tape, or stickers. 

• Good (G), Good Plus (G+) - Plays without skipping, but contains significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. Covers and sleeves contain seam splits, usually on the bottom or spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, and other flaws are also noticeable.   

• Poor (P), Fair (F) - Record is cracked, warped, and is almost guaranteed to skip or repeat. The sleeve or jacket is water damaged, split on all seams, and contains heavy wear and writing. The cover barely keeps the vinyl inside it.
