...cover will come in a new poly baggy.... please read on: Jacket ONLY ~ No vinyl included or inner dust sleeve; this is an excellent graded cover; no disc included but the cover is very fine condition, about a VG++ : No open seams, bends etc, No writing.. And just mild general wear, but really no shelf wear either, jacket's face is frame able ; nice to add to a good vinyl copy with a lesser grade cover. Back of cover light yellowing do to age and general wear, but nothing major thru out. This is an authentic first pressing, mono argo piece of jazz history with Etta James in the news this morning at her passing. NO saw marks or cut, or drill holes etc. Delivery confirmation (tracking num. included) w/ media USPS. Safe and secure heavy oversized pro / ordered online / cardboard mailers used in every auction. [14x14x4]
Shipping and Packaging: Shipping is always safe and secure. I use 14 x 14 x 4 inch mailers; they are professional cardboard quality and ordered online. I ship all vinyl and jackets in poly baggies. The disc will be separated from the cover to prevent item damages to seams in travel. I ship every album I sell via eBay as domestic and international. 3.99 media USA only and International is always calculated according to it's weight; you should be able to find this out via the eBay calculator. Combined shipping available. Grading and Condition: Condition is the key ingredient to my collecting, and has been for over 10 years and on eBay for a decade selling LPs (just like these.) I always view vinyl condition multiple times before the album enters my collection. This eye for detail goes into every auction or BIN that I arrange on eBay. I also sell high grade LPs. And generally I want to be fair and conservative in all my grading options. So VG is graded like this, I believe this is an entry level grade. VG grades have been played the most in the three tear system of grading (VG, VG+ and NM). In condition the VG is marked, scuffed and plays through decently but with pops crackle and most likely a skip or possibly a few. Labels looks good but used, trail markings etc. My second option in grading is VG+. This is the most common condition given. I play a lot of albums on a professional system at home. VG+ is widely used based on the moderate level of condition grading. The disc will have a scuff maybe even a mark, but will otherwise show, full or most luster; a little bit of dust (nothing too major); grooves should be clean and play well. This grade may even play at a better condition through most of the LP, but have one or two minor blemishes that down grade the entire piece. (As you can see I am pretty fair and observant in my presentation for grading. ) Finally, NM or Near Mint. Luster is top. Condition is like no other grade, best describing the LP as close to New, but has had a few play back sessions during it's lifespan; but not many. There are no scuffing or visible marks to the eye. Any collector would be satisfied to have a copy of their album in this grade (NM.) Of course it has to be used sparcely and in rarity. Many records look ideally close to NM but not quite. In any event this is the short version of my grading scale. With questions or concerns about an individual album please specify ahead in email, thanks.
