Condition:

Cover is VG+... There are really only 2 issues...the first being a cut-out hole (5mm) top right corner...the second is the ring wear...noticable wear on all four sides front and 3 sides back    Also an "x" lightly pressed into the lower right  corner about 1/2" tall..no ink or any color, just a light impressed "x"... Even with the ring wear this is one of the best of the original 60's gatefold's I've seen...very little actual usage wear overall and almost none inside the gatefold...inner sleeve still crisp, although it does have a 1/4" tear at the opening

Record is VG++... vinyl retains its luster with very minimal wear of any kind...center hole is clean and undamaged with just faint spindle traces evident..one label has a smudge...slightly darker blue...minor sleeve scuffs...very few marks of any sort, none audible...this consistent with the condition of the cover...all indicating minimal actual play/usage

                                             General Policy & Shipping Info:

Your best way to predict the kind of buying experience you might have from me is to take a little closer look at my feedback.

  If you do, I think a pretty clear and consistent pattern will emerge about what to expect from me in most situations.

 I ship records outside their covers to avoid seem splits during transport.

Box Sets are shipped with records inside their boxes ..most boxes are too large for a poly sleeve

I ship all records using the following:

• sturdy record mailer 
• custom cardboard insert pads  
• poly outer sleeve for each record
• heavy duty mailing tape...
• packing slip/invoice 

 I am an experienced grader and I use the Goldmine Scale with the in-between grade of VG++ (also called EX by some) NM or M- is the highest grade even on sealed records

VG- VG VG+ VG++ M- (NM)   Grades are visual unless noted as Played or Play Graded  If you have made multiple purchases from me and you do not receive a combined item invoice, please let me know and I will send you one.

.Shipping Cost:

Shipping charges are actual cost, or as close as I can get..

.International buyers please note: You are responsible for all Customs duties and laws of your country.  I will not change the value of the item to save customs duties, or for any other reason.  Items held by customs are the responsibility of the buyer, as are any duties or other charges that arise. 

The USPS does not offer tracking on First Class International Mail shipments.  Registered Mail is an additional $11.00 and adds tracking to your First Class International Shipment...you have to ask because eBay does not include this USPS service on it's listing forms...I will add Registered Mail to any First Class Shipment upon request...just let me know and I will send you an updated invoice .
