The Beatles Christmas Album 1970 Fan Club Only! SEALED & NM!

The album is in near mint condition and shows no signs of warpage. The shrink is still very tight and intact. The only blemish is on the top, front right of the cover where there is a little corner bump and a small split in the shrink at the top of the rear cover. (Please See Pics.) There are bootlegs of this album, but I am not sure if this one is or not.

If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Stay classy, and thanks for stopping by!

Grading L.P.: Mint

Cover: Near Mint

Labels: Mint

Grading Scale (Albums gradedvisually. Will gladly play-grade upon request.)

Mint (M): Sealed only, with no signs of handling, damage, or wear to thecover. Such vintage albums hardly exist, in my opinion.

Near Mint (NM): Virtually flawless, appearing mirror-like in unplayed condition and with no damage to the cover. Labels will likewise be free ofspindle marks. (Unplayed records cannot, by definition, have spindlemarks!!!!) There will be virtually no background noise, like loudpops or ticks, and will have a “just opened” sound. Although nearly all vintage records have some degree of insignificant warpage, NM L.P.'s will display onlyminimal amounts.

Excellent (EX): Still free of any significant defects, with only superficial flaws. Such albums will show someminor signs of play and storage, but minimal wear, plenty of shine, and will still be considered in “collectible” condition. Background noise will only be audible during quieter portions of the album, if at all, and will not beprominent to the point of affecting sound quality. Labels may havenone, to only a few, spindle marks and covers will have only minor edge andcorner wear, or discoloration.

Very Good (VG): An album that has obvious signsof wear, perhaps slight warpage, but plays through without skips, jumps, or long repetitive ticks. It will be entirely playable with moderate background noise. Covers might have small stains, edge, spine and/or corner wear. Vinyl will have surface level scuffs that may affect playback but still allows the music to shine through. Unlike mostsellers, a grade from me of VG does NOT mean that the album istrash. It will still be a “very good” listen.

Good (G): An album that has had a full life but is still worth listening to. Sound quality will be diminished by background noise, and perhaps some loud pops and skips. Covers and inner sleeves will havestains, tears, or other signs of damage but will still adequately protect thevinyl and acceptably present the original artwork. Labels will bediminished by spindle marks and other forms of damage.

Poor (P): An album on which the surface noise and skipping is toodistracting to listen to enjoyably, and that has a cover with major stains, tears,or other significant defects. I will sell an album in this condition ONLY when it is highly collectible because of itsage and/or rarity.

(+/-): I will use plus or minus designations freely to nuancethe grading of each album and bridge the gap in describing albums that fallin between grades.

PLEASE NOTE: I seek to grade ACCURATELY and strictly according to the grading scale above. Proper grading is my top priority. I am a grading “literalist,” and I strive to be as precise as possible. My ultimate goal is to be among the best record graders on eBay. All records are cleaned on a VPI 16.5 using a 3-step, enzyme-based process. All L.P.'s will be shipped separately from their cover's and placed in a replacement sleeve. They will also be well protected in an outer poly sleeve and safely packaged with more than adequate cardboard reinforcement. (No worries here, I promise.) Sealed albums cannot be returned if opened, partially or completely. I am not a wholesale collector or a large-scale seller. I’m just an average dude who loves vintage vinyl and has been collecting for many years. Be assured that I will always strive to be as accurate as I can with the grades I assign. I know how important that is to us vinyl enthusiasts and how frustrating it is when albums come over-graded!
