Description
Well after many years doing auctions on eBay, I think I'm going to start listing inventory here, without an auction. Priorly, I've always started all auctions at $4.99, but right now I have a lot of records sitting around to comb through, so I think I'll just list a handful every weekend when I can.
This is an OK copy of Mo' Greens. Not overly fantastic, but thanks to Plastylite, it still plays VG. This copy overall has scratches, but nothing deep.
More below:
____________________________________________________________________
Vinyl: (high) VG- (5.5 of 10): Good lustre, but has scratches. Heavier press, and has everything the collector would want: deep grooves, ear marks, VAN GELDER in runout, mono, New York trademark labels. The copy plays quite nice, better than a VG- should, but is still overall a VG- for me. It's seen knicks and some careless rotation, it looks like. Plays great however, and should be considered a middling copy -- not pristine at all, but quite playable (with crackle) and is a good collectors example for everyday play.
Cover: (high) VG (6.5 of 10): Overall almost a VG+. The only reason I hesitate is the staining on back. Other than that, it has a great high gloss, strong seams, bright beautiful colors. There's a slight curve to the cover, but not serious.
VINYL WEIGHT: 155g-160g
Additional Notes: None _____________________________________________________________________
Regarding Grading: I always use the standard G-VG+ scale. I, however, absolutely never use the word "mint" because I don't believe I've ever found a mint record -- even sealed ones. The highest I go is VG+. I use a number system to get a bit more specific.
The number: my number system gets a bit more granular. For the record, it's meant to reflect more the audio quality and overall aesthetic. For the cover, it reflects overall preservation, gloss, and damage, if there is any.
A few notes about quality, purchasing, and shipping:
* I always vacuum clean my records. They've all gone through a three step solution process with a vacuum cleaning machine I built.
** All records are shipped in record boxes.
*** All records are shipped with a plastic sleeve, and the records will be shipped OUTSIDE the cover.
Shipping is a standard $4 domestic, and by weight international ... so CHECK YOU INTERNATIONAL PEOPLE. Shipping is expensive these days -- don't shoot the messenger.
