Most of these were bought between 1980 and 2005 either in used record stores, garage sales, thrift stores, or from other collectors. These are not from a non smoking home, and are not from a pet free home either.
This is my personal collection and am selling them now in retirement. These have not been play tested in over ten years, and will need to be cleaned more than likely. They should play as they appear, but they have not been play tested. All LP auctions are sold “as is” with no refunds, unless I am obviously grossly negligent in my description of an item. If you feel this is the case, please write me first so we can settle before opening a case with eBay. I will leave positive feedback within 24 hours of payment, and would be happy if you could leave me positive feedback within 24 hours as well. If you are hesitant to leave positive feedback, please write me first before doing so. 
We ship within 2 business days of receiving payment, Monday through Friday only. We ship Media Mail, and will provide you with tracking within 24 hours of item being shipped. They are either sent in LP mailer boxes from Bags Unlimited, or for the larger auctions, a large heavy duty box, every purchase will be wrapped in bubble wrap, and albums will be sleeved in Lp sleeves, and I take great care in packing for shipping. I am well aware of what’s rare and valuable among these auctions, therefore rare albums in pristine condition will have the Lp taken out of the jacket to avoid seam splitting during shipping.
Please check our feedback to ensure you can trust bidding with us.
I generally grade any nice condition album to be VG+ so you get a nice surprise when they arrive

“This Little Girl Of Mine” and “This Time” are VG+
“It’s Four In The Morning is VG 
“Wine Me Up” has a high gloss VG++ disc, but cover is VG because of a seam crack on the bottom, some aging/soiling, rounded corners
“Chapter Two” is a VG+++++++/Ex- promo
“Unmittigated Gall” is VG cover with writing, aging, discoloration, but disc is probably strong VG to VG+ 
The albums above are basically freebies or “throw ins” the albums below are what the auction is actually for
“Story Songs For Country Folks” MG20896,  Cover has rounding and discoloration on corners, there is a 5cm seam crack on bottom seam, and chipping on the top that is 2 cm, there is random discoloration in the black, early soiling/aging/ringwear, disc is high gloss, but has surface wear from being on a stacker unit from the time, but it not severe, label is fine and is a deep groove red label Mercury
“Faron Young Aims At The West” is STRONG VG+++++/Ex-, cover is nice, glossy, tight, disc has minimal play and handling, label is deep groove black label with clean labels and large print STEREO
“The Young Approach” some chipping on the seam and spine, no cracks or splits, corners rounding, color is a bit faded though, and just looks, feels, and smells old. Aging/soiling early showing, disc is high gloss VG++++ with minimal play and handling, label is black rainbow Capitol with logo on top, not a deep groove
“Talk About Hits” has bad chipping on the seams, and some cracking/chipping about 3.5 inches on the bottom left corner, corners are rounding, album is yellowing and losing it’s color from age, early signs of bleeding/aging/soiling, disc is high gloss VG+ with play and handling, but nice, and am sure it play well, mono, label is rainbow Capitol with logo on top
“All Time Great Hits Of Faron Young” cover has some bending, bottom left corner is coming apart, and the cover was pasted well at the factory, and has aging, and price tag removal residue/bubbling, small tear from price tag removal, white is still white on front and back, no writing. Disc is high gloss VG+++++++++++/Ex- with only a couple play/handling signs, black label Starline, not a deep groove
“ Hello Walls” has Ex- yellow label Capitol reissue label, but not flimsy, nice re-release, cover is thick stock, white is turning to yellow with some chipping on seams, overall strong VG++++/Ex- cover
“Falling In Love” chipping on seams, crack on spine, yellowing from age, losing it’s shine, but integrity is in shape, disc is high gloss VG+++++++++++/Ex- with only a few play and handling sings, mono, labels nice, Capitol Rainbow logo on top, not a deep groove
“Sweethearts Or Strangers” I don’t really know how to grade this by Goldmine standards. So will just give a description. Cover has a lot of white soiling/aging, but not actual ringwear, no white circular ringwear, but a lot of spotting on front, back is yellowing with a lot of dark spotting, but not horrible, pencil price marked on back, bottom seam has rounded corners and a lot of chipping, spine has dents, but is intact, top seam is split almost to 1 inch of the spin, so all across the top. Disc is turquoise Capitol with a  lot of spindle and rubbing wear, but not awful. Disc has heavy playwear, like it was played on a stacker a lot, all the time, over and over with other albums, but despite the heavy surface wear, am not really feeling anything deep. There’s a few spots of discoloration, but can’t feel anything with my finger. I can’t play test it, but I can say if it didn’t play in a listenable fashion, I probably would have replaced it with a better copy? But, I honestly can’t remember. I don’t recommend placing your decision on this auction solely on acquiring this album, but at the same time, it probably looks worse than it is. It is actually deep black and really shiny, am sure I probably cleaned it properly, but don’t have the disc I made of it since I had the Bear Family CD set.
