All 3x10 Inches included and for its age very nicely treated (Still Shiny) and in great condition no cracks, no dents. Usually I am not dealing shellac so I am lacking knowledge in grading Shellac properly. Look great with only few superficial thin marks not feelable. Its probably a VG+ but I rather grade it strong VG. I don t have a player to check the sound quality. Comes within the large book in Strong VG (See Scans). The Box is heavy.
The Labels Are NM!
Seems the box was storage for a long, long time….Tried to clean the covers (lots of mold, dust, whatever!) But stopped when some damage showed…Pls do the cleaning yourself!

WE USE THE FOLLOWING SCALE FOR OUR STRICT, PLAYED AND/OR VISUAL GRADING OF VINYL:
Sealed : Jacket is sealed shut in shrink wrap, disc is sold ungraded or "as is". If you wish I can carefully open the film and send the vinyl separate of the cover…BUT ADVISE!
M- : A record in this condition appears absolutely unplayed and will bear no marks, sleeve scuffs, or scratches. We seldom use this grade.
VG++ (Excellent) : A record in this condition may have one or two visible imperfections, but these will be of a purely cosmetic nature (i.e. sleeve scuffs or other superficial marks) and will not affect play, of course, no kips or “loud” clicks. A VG++ record will have no scratches.
VG+ : A record in this condition will have a few visible imperfections. These may include sleeve scuffs, superficial marks, and light scratches. The presence of a single light scratch is enough for us to grade an otherwise markless record VG+; a VG+ record will have no more than a few such scratches.
VG : A record in this condition will show the kinds of imperfections found on VG+ records but in slightly greater numbers. There may be a number of light scratches and other marks, but a VG record will not bear any scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail.
VG- : A record in this condition will have a number of visible imperfections; the presence of a considerable number of light scratches will force us to give a record this grade, as will the presence of even one scratch deep enough to be felt with a fingernail.
G : A record in this condition will have pervasive imperfections of varying degrees including both light scratches and scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail.
