Description
I grade conservatively under good lighting visually, and play grade where I feel it's needed (will inform in listing if so). I take EX, and especially NM grades very seriously. I only apply a NM grade to a record that is free of any kind of spindle marks, and has no marks whatsoever that I can see. I do apply +/- to grades to give a better idea of what range of that specific grade the record is in. I use record mailers, multiple flats*, remove disc from jacket, and always seal all edges tight. *I do use old record jackets for flats as well.
Original 1966 US Capitol Mono Pressing with - T1 2458 T8 0 & T2-2458-F17 - Matrix
Jacket is VG+ due to hole punch, and off center matting. Otherwise very solid, clean, virtually no shelf wear.
Disc is a confident NM, looks completely un-played. Not a spindle mark on it, and could not even discern any paper scuffs under bright lamp, and sunlight at every angle. I'm sure ultra-faint sleeve marks must exist on some level as it's impossible for them not to, but this is as cherry as they come. In 25 years of avid collecting, I've only held it's equal once, and I've only given a NM grade to a disc this old maybe five times out of a thousand. Will be shipped with new Mo-Fi inner sleeve (original plain paper included).
- Shipping in US is $15 for Priority w/ Insurance. SIGNATURE WILL BE REQUIRED. International by GSP only.
