MINT Guns N Roses Appetite Original Cover SEALED GNR

$

30

Condition: MINT, Sealed - Never Opened!

This auction is for a SEALED copy of Guns N' Roses' first record "Appetite For Destruction" with the original Banned Cover. 

How Totally Awesome is this??!!!  The first record from GNR with the original cover!!!  This artwork (by Robert Williams) was deemed so offensive by enough music retailers that Geffen pulled the artwork and replaced it with the cross and skulls cover that ended up gracing the record.  This has been a prize in my collection for some time, but now it can be your prize!  Very Super Sweet!!!

Note: While this is sealed, the shrink wrap has started to come undone at the very top, but not enough to slip the record out.

Grading:

Mint (M) - I rarely use this rating. Nothing is ever mint unless I was the first person to touch the wax or sleeve from the factory or it is sealed with no obvious marring or bending.

Near Mint (NM) - The wax has little to no surface scratches or imperfections and should play with no problems. The sleeve has no tears, smears, sticky stuff from removed price tags or ring or edge wear. You may see NM+ every now and then for records that I feel are in exceptional condition.

Very Good (VG) - The wax may have some obvious signs of prior play (minor surface scratches) or imperfections that don't effect play (like a ragged outer edge). The sleeve may have some wear but still looks good and functions well overall.

Good (G) - The wax has been played a lot and has much wear but looks like it is still playable. The sleeve has more wear than VG but is not completely falling apart.

Generally G is the lowest I go, but every now and then I will list items that are in worse condition. If I do, I promise to use colorful euphemisms to describe the record's condition.

Also, my grading system is meant to describe the quality of the product as it refers to age/wear/use, NOT as it relates to quality of the original material. For instance, I have many records that have nice, full color sleeves on heavy card stock. I also have records that have sleeves made on very thin paper and are only 2 colors (the color of the paper and one other ink). Obviously the former will look nicer than the latter even if both are labeled NM. You get the idea.

I will always combine shipping on multiple items if possible, just ask! For the USA I can do $4 for 1-2 records, $5 for 3-4 records, $6 for 5-6 records, etc. As long as I can fit 'em in the same box we're good to go! I will be happy to ship worldwide if you'll be happy to pay for the shipping!
