Description
I'm a long time collector, but new to eBay. I will be listing lots of early rock' n roll 78 and 45 RPM records. If you're not happy with the record, return it within 14 days for a full refund.
Somewhat rough copy. Surface scratches and scuffs throughout (some can be seen in the images, but scuffing worse than displayed in the photos) . Keep that in mind while bidding. Plays a little better than expected - a bit noisy but plays all the way through. Labels show wear, but are decent (see images). G+ for the vinyl, VG- on the sound, and VG for the labels.
Packaging
All records will be packed between cardboard squares and shipped in a sturdy box with additional packing materials.
Shipping
US only. First record is $4.00. I will combine items of like size for an additional $1.00 per record. For priority mail, the first record is $8.00 and $2.00 for each additional record.
I only accept PayPal.
Grades are based as follows:
Mint (M)
Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.(More on still sealed under "Other Considerations"). Should be used sparingly as a grade, If at all.
Near Mint (NM)
A nearly perfect record. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like. Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.
Very Good Plus (VG+)
The record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.
Very Good (VG) Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not completely overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers.
Good (G), Good Plus (G+)
Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
