The Beatles Collection BC13 UK Blue Box Vinyl 1985 Near Mint Conditon. These haven't been played except the Rarities. Most have not been taken out of their sleeves.
***UPDATE***
My mother is the original owner. She has everything The Beatles put out, including solo projects (even wive's and children's releases!) since she had most of these already, she didn't play them or mess with them. She let it be...ha!

Vinyls have been in storage for over 20 years. They were kept n an entertainment center before that. ALL of her vinyl has been meticulously cared for.
I took 3 out of their sleeves and then realized they have not been taken out before, ever! I decided not to remove any more.
However, I gloved up and peeked in & I am 99% sure that:
I took out Hard Day's Night, Please Please Me & With The Beatles and she did play Rarities (since it's the only one she didn't have) BUT all others have not been removed from thier sleeves...thats why I rate it all Near Mint.

All the vinyl looks great...glossy & perfect. But the 4 I've noted are not pristine (it's inevitable that specks of dust are present if removed).

All jackets look like they're in great shape. Upon close inspection I found very minor flaws but worth mentioning. The White album has a few specks of brown on the back and the inside. Rarities has minor creasing to front left and the opening edge on the back is a little jagged. Beatles For Sale has a funky edge fold on front left bottom corner and some creasing on the back left side. Revolver has some creasing on the back. Minor creasing to Hard Day's Night front left. Rubber Soul has a big crease to front bottom right side.

Sleeves are in great shape. Except some do have creasing and Revolver has brown marks (almost looks like finger/hand prints from possibly the glue used on inner sleeves) but it seems that the marks occurred before the vinyl was in there since the vinyl looks perfect.

The Box has flaws also. The inside front fold has a glued in strip of paper, which has come undone and the edges of the box are starting to crack there.

Detailed photos have been added showing this. It was hard getting it to show up in pictures....some are literally tiny marks I saw when the light hit just right. Hey, I sell pre-owned Nike Jordans so I do a thorough condition reporting!!
