2. For items $20-$50, I can ship First class International to buyers with perfect feedback. This method is NOT insurable or trackable, but costs less. Weight must be less than 4 pounds.
3. For items $50-$100, I would ship via priority mail international with insurance for the value bid. Some countries do not allow insurance. Please e-mail for shipping costs before bidding as this method costs more, but is insurable (usually) and trackable.
4. For items > $100, it will have to go some method that can be signed for. Global Express, probably, it is expensive!

Description: Up for your consideration is the next in a series of unique Lps, this one a set of three collectible Elvis albums.  Two are picture discs and the third is gold-colored vinyl.  I bought these at a yard sale and the fellow that sold them to me said he thought they were unplayed.  In examining them, I don't see any visible imperfections, grading by sight in normal room light.  Also, I don't see any spindle marks around the center holes.  So, it is possible these are unplayed.

  I'm sure if you took these and put them under a 1000 watt bulb, you'd probably find something that makes them less than mint.  If you're that kind of collector, let me suggest this auction is not for you.

I don't claim these records are mint.  Based on past experience and visual examination, I'd expect the tracks to average around half way between VG+ (excellent) and Near Mint with some scattered very light surface noise such that might be heard on just about any record.  If you want an audio grade of an entire record, no problem, just drop me a note well in advance of the end of auction.  You can then assign your own grade based on my comments on what I heard and the GRADING SCALE BELOW!.     

Keep in mind how it plays for me may differ how it plays for you based on differences in audio equipment. 

At the time of this listing, no current offerings on e-bay for this lot!!

So this is your chance to own a unique item at a reasonable price.  Bid early and often so you don't miss out on this auction!   

It is further described below, please take the time to read before bidding.

Please e-mail if questions.

I am using the Goldmine scale of G=Good(1), VG = Very Good(2), VG+ = Very Good Plus(excellent)(3), NM = Near Mint(4) when grading the disc(s).

Additional criteria I use when audibly grading records for people:

• NM(4) = absolutely nothing wrong at all (very rarely happens--I've even opened sealed records and they don't play Near Mint)
• 3.5-3.9 = very, very light surface noise
• 3.1-3.4 = very light surface noise, very light pops
• VG+(3) = up to light pops and light surface noise (below this, one's enjoyment is affected, very subjective)
• VG(2) = up to medium pops and moderate surface noise
• G(1) = up to heavy pops and heavy surface noise
