JOHN WAYNE AMERICA, WHY I LOVE HER AUTOGRAPHED

FOR AUCTION:  This is John Wayne America, Why I Love Her on RCA LSP-4828. This has been autographed in black sharpie by the Duke and reads "Good Luck John Wayne". I bought a record collection from an autograph hound here in Indianapolis. He had auto's of all the big stars from the golden age of cinema. He had Marilyn, Gene Autry, Eva Gardener, Betty Paige, you name it. He was not ready to part with his 8" x 10"s. Although, he had three auto'd copies of the "America" album, and reluctantly he decided to let me buy two of them. He showed me a picture his wife had taken at a convention in the '70s, of Wayne and he and the three lps. The collector is in his 90's and still healthy as a horse. He said that John Wayne was always one of his heroes, but he did not need three copies. They were just sitting on the shelf as he had never framed them like he had the 8"x10"s. I paid him well for the two albums and told him to let me know if he decides to sell the rest. I am selling one of them in hopes that I recoup a little of what I spent with him. I guarantee this to be the genuine autograph of John Wayne and I welcome the auction winner to have it authenticated. I will refund 100% and S&H both ways because that is how sure I am. Besides, if I was any good at counterfieting I would do Brian Jones, Elvis, Jimi, Lennon, and Cobain. No offense to the "Duke" I know he's an American Icon, but these others would fetch a few thousand dollars. Please bid with confidence and feel free to email with questions. I am a T. R. Seller with 100% feedback I will keep it that way. I sell no trash, everything I list is in collector quality condition as I myself am one of the biggest collectors in Indiana. All Records will be professionally cleaned and placed in brand new protective outersleeves!

Please disregard if you are an honest Ebayer like myself. I have heard about all the scams that are going on in the Record department of Ebay. If you try to pull a switch and send me back a fake, I will know. I have taken very detailed pictures of this album and have noted all the cover details. Also, I have another one to compare the autographs. I have nothing but time in between record conventions and I will make sure you are dealt with! I am sorry to all the good Ebayers out there, but these people are ruining Ebay and scaring away good dealers. I mean why would anyone sell on here if they are going to be out the money and their record. If Ebay does not deal with this they are going to lose all the reputable dealers and be stuck with the flea market crowd that couldn't tell you the difference between a VG record and a Mint one.

CONDITION: 

   Vinyl =  NM  (9/10)!  Never Played. I was told he removed the shrink to get the auto. There are no scratches, scuffs, pops, hiss, clicks, production bubbles, chipping, warping, dissapointments, etc...

Cover = NM (9/10)    Tight spine, no seam splits, cuts,  no pen/pencil marks, no ring wear,  and no disappointments, etc... just a Great cover!!!

Label =  NM (9/10)

Grading System:

Mint = only reserved for Sealed/Perfect Lps 10/10

Near Mint =  the record may have been played once or twice on good equipment. Near Mint vinyl should sound New when dust is cleaned off and the records played with a properly aligned cartridge and good needle. A Near Mint cover should be one that either looks new or still has the shrink wrap on it. Near Mint is usually reserved for record collectors that don't mind spending premium in order to get the best quality copy of a recording. 9 out of 10

Excellent = I don't do Ex! Be weary of dealers peddling this Ex grade! It can mean everything from "frisbee" to Vg+. Its just another way to confuse record buyers on what the record will be like when recieved. No reputable "Old School" Dealer will grade anything Excellent!!!

Very Good + = VG+ is a grade that I use for most lps that have been played a handful of times with care. It may have one or two scratches (should not be feelable with finger) that DO NOT affect play or some sleeve scuffs from being pulled and played. When put on your record platter a VG+ record should sound great. There should not be background noise (when properly cleaned) or pops, skips, or any other distracment from the music. You should be able to listen to a VG+ record time and time again and enjoy it. 7,8 out of 10

Very Good =  Record has been played and played and played. Record will have background noise. Maybe a pop or skip on certain tracks. Covers will have seam splits. A pretty "loved" piece of vinyl. 4,5,6 out of 10. Should still play without hurting your needle. Unless its very rare I do not list VG records. My moto is "If you can't play and enjoy it, it ain't no good"  I grade according to Goldmine standards. I strive to keep my feedback 100% positive!!!

PAYMENT:  I accept Paypal or Email me if you need another option.

SHIPPING for Auctions:   Fastest Shipping on Ebay!!! I charge $4  for the first lp and $1 for each additional lp in the U.S.A for media mail. Priority Mail will be $8. You will recieve a brand new record mailer and I sleeve all my records to keep them well preserved. Please let me know which S&H you prefer.  

For the rest of the world its $14.00 for first class international S&H. I will not except losing the record and the money anymore! If you cannot agree to these terms do not bid. There is no way to ship cheaply overseas except for international mail which is a gamble. Japan will pay exacty Registered Mail Shipping prices! I will e-mail you the price before I ship. I have had too many problems with sealed records coming up with seam splits because of mishandling. For some reason when we ship Registered there is never a problem. I will ship the day I recieve payment, unless on the weekend, I  will ship on Monday.

INSURANCE:  $50 - 99 dollars of insurance will be $2.20,   $100 - 199 will be $2.65,  $200 - 299 will be $4.75. $300+ will cost $5.55
