>>> Any of the LP's I list here on EBAY are from my own private collection and have been well cared for. The majority of them have only been played a few times. Since LP's could not be played in automobiles, as soon as I acquired a new LP I would immediately record it to cassette tape. The LP was then safely stored to preserve it's condition & quality. There are a small number of my LP's that suffered some minor damages to the jackets while moving (several times), but any damage will be shown & described in the listing.  *I also clean the LP's in a highly modified Spin Clean Wet Wash System, then place them in a New Clear Anti-Static Sleeve. Any original inner sleeves (and other inserts) are always included with the LP's.  I try to do my best to grade the LP & outer Jacket / Cover according to Goldmine Standards but there's always a possibility I may miss something.  If you notice something I clearly missed, please contact me first before opening a case with EBAY, Thanks !
     For shipping, all LP's are bubble wrapped and packed in an approved corrugated LP shipping carton.

Three of the corners have a bit of minor damage or slight dings and there are a few minor scuffs on both sides, There are no Saw Slits, Cut-Outs, Holes or Corner Cuts.   All in all,   Jacket Grade = VG (maybe +) !
  The Printed Inner Sleeve is mostly flat with just some minor ripples and a bit of "Ring Imprint". There is a 2" split on one side and about a 5" split on the other side, however, the bottom is still in tact, not split.  Grade = VG (+?) !

In a bright light you may see a few Barely Visible Blemishes.  Plays Clean, No Scratches.   LP Grade = Excellent (or Better - EX+) !   The Audio Test resulted in Very Crisp and Clean sound through-out both sides of the LP with only the very occasional sound of a minor, light tick or click, and then mainly in the lead in / lead out and dead time between tracks.
