This will make a great addition to any collection!
This item comes from a smoke-free home.
I am not a professional grader, and I grade by eye.  All sealed records will be graded as NM/NM unless there is obvious damage/wear to the cover/sleeve, which will be noted above and pictured. Please also note that I am a careful packager.  For open records your disc(s) will be removed from it's sleeve and placed in a polyvinyl sleeve, along with cover, inner sleeve and any inserts, etc. listed in a plastic sleeve and sealed. (Records that are still sealed in original shrink wrap are placed in a plastic sleeve and sealed as well).  I use packaging manufactured to ship records and designed provide the best protection.  Additionally, I use cushioning to fill in the empty space so that your disc and any sleeves, inserts, etc. are stable and protected.
All sales are final.  Payment should be made by PayPal within three days of the auction close.
