I listened to this entire record carefully and here is my report:
There were no skips or repeats (of course). You will hear NO surface noise when you place the needle at the beginning of the record on both sides. Autumn Leaves plays very clean. Love For Sale will exhibit some evident surface noise during some of the quieter passages, but not all the time - it seems kind of random really. At the end of Somethin' Else you'll hear a little bit of crackling in the fade out and the space between tracks, but it's not terrible. One For Daddy-O had a couple of light ticks that you REALLY have to be paying attention to catch. Aside from the light surface noise at the end of Somethin' Else mentioned above the spaces between all of the other tracks is notably quiet. Dancing In The Dark had a super clean playback from beginning and most of the duration, but a little bit of surface noise at the end. None of the tracks have any notable groove-wear and the both sides of the record are completely free of any scratches.
I would like to note that this record hasn't received any sort of "deep groove" cleaning. So if you have an ultrasonic cleaner (or the like) you might be able to alleviate some of the aforementioned playback concerns.
Please review the pictures for further details on the condition of the jacket.
Your record will be shipped in a cardboard BOX with plenty of cushion It'll also be wrapped in shipper's wrap inside for further moisture protection. The record will be removed from the jacket and placed in the inner sleeve outside of the cover (and secured with cardboard) so that it doesn't slide around inside the jacket and create damage during transit. If the record has a unique picture sleeve the record will be placed in a generic poly-sleeve or recycled sleeve for shipping.

If you have any special packing requests contact me BEFORE making payment so that I can adjust the shipping costs accordingly. Please do not bother to send me a message with packing instructions after payment as it will be disregarded.

REGARDING SHIPPING: The default shipping option that you see is Media Mail which is inexpensive, but sometimes unpredictable with no guaranteed delivery time. I have shipped over 2000 records using Media Mail without any hassles, but there have been a few instances where the record took a month to arrive and was stuck at a sorting facility for two or more weeks. If you want a faster method with a guaranteed delivery time I suggest that you choose the Priority Mail option.

My Grading System Definitions:
NM -  10/10 playback quality. Record is open, but sounds like new
EX -   9/10 playback quality. Might have a minor playback disruption or two, but nearly perfect in playback otherwise
VG++ 8/10 playback quality. Will have more minor disruptions than EX but still really good playback
VG+ - 7/10 playback quality. Will have light surface noise between tracks and maybe during fades and softer passages
VG   - 6/10 playback quality. Will have evident surface noise between tracks and softer passages/fades, but won't disrupt the listening experience most of the time. Might have ticks as well.
VG- - 5/10 playback quality. Will have obvious surface noise all the time, but not necessarily ticks or pops.
G+  - 4/10 playback quality. Will be crackly with some pops and ticks
G    - 3/10 playback quality. Will be crackly with plenty of pops and ticks
F    - 2/10 will have skips and likely be very crackly with ticks and pops. Likely warped as well.
W   - 1/10 will have skips and/or repeats. Will have lots of "snap crackle and pop" and probably warped as well.
