JACKET STILL IN SHRINK W/ HYPE STICKERS!

Jacket
Jacket is an absolute stunner! It is still in its original shrink wrap, with title sticker and "Mrs. Robinson" hype sticker still in place! The jacket itself has but one single flaw - a tiny and absolutely negligible corner bump. I have provided a close-up so you can see for yourself the lone flaw of this 40-year-old hunk of paper and cardboard! It seriously looks brand-new! No cut-outs of any kind. The shrink wrap itself does show some ringwear, but this is to be expected, as the shrink wrap is there to basically take hits for the jacket.
Jacket grade: NM
Vinyl
Vinyl is also stunning, with incredible, deep, black, mirror-like gloss. I strongly doubt that it was ever played! Strong and direct light does reveal the odd sleeve contact mark at certain angles, but they are so faint and hard to observe that they in no way diminish the striking visual beauty of this virgin wax! It will be VPI cleaned and placed in a brand new liner for maximum protection (the original Columbia "plastic bag" liner will also be included).
Vinyl grade: NM
The poster is also in striking NM condition, and seamingly as clean and crisp as the day it was pressed! Undoubtedly never hung on a wall!
Label/catalog: Columbia / KCS-9529
Good luck!
