A SIMPLE VINYL GRADING SYSTEM :

Mint: Sealed/Unplayed/Unopened/The Holy Grail/Not used on an opened item.
Mint minus (M-): New and Possibly Unplayed ; a rarely used grade at Bear's Wax.
Near Mint (NM): Like-new, with very little or no visible wear; very scarce & very collectible.
Near Mint minus (NM-): Almost like-new, very slight signs of play or wear that are strictly cosmetic. Very nice.
Excellent (EX) /Very Good plus-plus (VG++): A step above VG+, very clean, no serious flaws. Appears seldom spun. Nice.
Very Good plus (VG+): Above average LP; a few moderate surface marks or paper scuffs; minor surface noise. Not bad.
Very Good (VG) : An average used LP, several surface marks/maybe light scratches. Noisy but plays through, no skips. OK.
Very Good minus (VG-) : Reveals lots of wear & noise when viewed or spun but is not defective or warped. A bit rough.

LP cover grading is very subjective and in the end is simply just one man's opinion.
We attempt to describe every cover's pluses & minuses as best as we can, arrive at a fair grade & show a good picture.
All major  flaws will be mentioned. If you have concerns/questions please email for more info/photos.

*************************RANDOM NOTES**************************

Your item will be packaged with tender loving care by someone who has been obsessed with vinyl since the early '60s.
All records are securely placed in new inner sleeves & new polysleeves & carefully packed inside thick cardboard mailers
along with stiff cardboard inserts & sheets of bubble wrap to help provide as safe a delivery as possible.

All records are carefully sight-graded by someone who has looked at used records for 35 years.
Keep in mind that used LPs from the '50s & '60s are very rarely found in Mint condition & seldom in actual Near Mint. 

Pictures shown in a bearswaxrecords listing are always of the actual item up for bid.
  International bidders are always welcome.  A special note to my overseas buyers:
Please do not ask me to falsify your customs forms. This is a service I cannot provide.
 My friends at the local Post Office know that my eBay items are not "gifts". Thanks for understanding.

Please bid with confidence. Check out my hard-earned feedbacks. Buyers appreciate my careful packaging methods.
Sincere thanks for looking & best of luck on all future eBay adventures. Satisfaction is guaranteed within reason.
Please e-mail with questions concerning any listed item. Positive feedback will be left promptly for deserving eBayers.

This item is taken from the still sprawling collection of a well-respected former used record store owner,
now semi-retired but even more inspired & certainly much blessed. Heartfelt thanks to all past buyers from every State &
 many countries all over the World. Please stay tuned to the continuing eBay listings of Bear's Wax Records, founded in 1979.
