Condition Assessment


Sleeve

• Front Cover:

• Bright, clean white background.

• Hype sticker intact and unfaded.

• Shrink wrap mostly intact, though partially split/opened at one corner (top right).

• Very minor impression marks from shrink tension.

• Back Cover:

• Excellent clarity in print and images.

• Barcode intact and clean.

• Minimal visible discoloration or wear.

• Overall Sleeve Grade: NM- (Near Mint Minus) — loses half a grade due to partial shrink split.


Vinyl (Assumed – Sealed Status)

• Vinyl presumed unplayed due to remaining shrinkwrap; however, corner shrink tear technically makes it “partial sealed.”


Rarity & Market Demand

• This U.S. marbleized pressing was a limited run and is far scarcer than the standard black vinyl edition.

• Demand spiked significantly after Running Up That Hill’s resurgence from the Stranger Things Season 4 feature (2022), leading to renewed interest in Hounds of Love.
