CONDITION OF ITEMS >>> The overall condition of all the records is excellent for their age, although as you can see in the pictures above there are some noticeable scattered smudges, scratches, spots and/or stains. The record labels are in excellent condition for their age with only some light wear on the words which I believe is due to aging. The cardboard record cover has the expected wear that is due to the normal process of aging, use, storage and the movement of the set from place to place. The wear is mostly noticeable on the corners and edges of the front and back covers. There is also some noticeable discoloration on both the front and back covers as you can see in the pictures above. The spine, although loose on the inside, is otherwise still in pretty good condition and is still attached at the spine of the record set. Due to the age of the record set I honestly do not know how long this will be true unless there is some type of restoration done on the binding. The booklet is in excellent condition with the exception of the back of the booklet which has some light discoloration that is due to aging. Please also note the light wear in the upper left corner of the front of the booklet. The 4 separate record sleeves inside the cardboard cover are all in excellent condition for their age with no noticeable damage. There is no unwanted writing anywhere. Please note, and I can't stress this point enough, that the record set has a really sharp musty odor due to it being stored in a basement for such a long period of time. It is mostly noticeable when the set is opened. If there is anything I have missed, or if I haven't answered your particular question or questions please feel free to e-mail me. Please view all the pictures above before placing your bid.
SHIPPING >>> Your choice from Media Mail, Parcel Post or Priority Mail. Please see shipping section for actual prices. Insurance is as always available and recommended, just in case package is lost or damaged during delivery. Please consider insuring your package seriously. These records are very old and should be treated gently and with great care so that they do not break. I pack all my items safely and securely but please understand that once the package is out of my hands I have no control over its safety. The insurance will help you get the value back for your item since I cannot be held responsible for a package that is beyond my control.
