ATTENTION international bidders!
Please understand that altering the final price of online purchases to avoid customs fees is illegal.  Every order is processed digitally, the shipping label affixed to the package will show the exact cost of the item.  I am an honest seller and cannot alter the amount, so please do not ask me to do so. RECORD packaging & shipping!
I provide ample padding in each package to prevent shifting during the shipping process. I also use industry-standard shipping boxes which are specifically designed for shipping records. Records are shipped outside their sleeves (if a sleeve is included) and covers to prevent damage during transit.  

Goldmine Standard Grading:
SS / NM- / VG++ / VG+ / VG / G+ / G / P
I grade conservatively, please see my grading scale below the record description for more details.


Here's an original cover from Buddy Holly and his 1958 album 'That'll Be The Day" on the Decca label.



Cover:  strong VG+ to VG++ The cover condition is exactly as the pictures show.  There is no inner sleeve, just the cover. There is a very slight bend to the cover overall, this is hard to show in the pictures as it is slight. The corners have rubbing but the seams are all intact. No splits in general though there is a very small separation beginning at the top edge at the mouth. The spine reads well.  
The front cover has great color although there is a small piece of print missing near the top front corner, this is shown in the pictures.  The back cover has some light contact wear as shown in the pictures.  There is some light foxing (yellowing from age) at the edges. Overall though, this cover is in great condition for its age.  
The cover will be wrapped in bubble, padded with cardboard then wrapped again.  It will then be shipped in a record mailer with Fragile tape clearly marking the package.

Please inspect the pictures well for something I may have missed mentioning. I've enjoyed this one while I've owned it, its time to let it go to make room for more acquisitions. I try to be conservative when grading and do hope my description was sufficient.



Thanks for looking!
Mike

Goldmine Grading Details
SS = Still Sealed
any defects will be listed and/or photographed to complete the description

NM- = Near Mint Minus
just short of perfect - acceptable defects would include a hairline mark not detectable to the touch and not affecting playback, background noise is nearly silent

VG++ = Very Good Plus Plus
most records I will list fall under this grade, just short of NM- but may have a mark or contact wear to the label to grade it slightly lower, maybe a drill hole or saw cut, maybe a mark or name written on the label lightly, sound is still great, loud and near perfect, cover may have slight edge or corner wear, maybe slight ring wear

VG+ = Very Good Plus
a great record, sound is high quality though may have a few pops or clicks, overall very nice looking vinyl possibly with light marks & scuffs, labels may have a name or mark on them, possible light contact wear to the label, covers may have a small split but not large or gaping, edge wear on cover may show more than slight, may be a mark on cover

VG = Very Good
only records I will list with this grade would be rather rare or of higher book value, meant to sell as a filler until a better record comes along, vinyl may have feel-able marks but should play through without skipping, pops or clicks may be louder than usual, may have marks or wear on the label, cover may have open splits, wear on print, may have marks or other very apparent defects (all will be stated in description either by type or in the pictures)
