Description

These items are from my personal collection, accumulated over a 55-year period.  This lot contains both the records and the sleeves.  The sleeves have been stored without the records since my original purchase at the time of their release.  Records and sleeves are visually graded, by me, based on Goldmine grading standards.  I try to grade conservatively.  Note that I purchased "I'm a Believer" upon its initial release (single owner).  I purchased the two Jukebox EPs used, many years after their release.

The Monkees - I'm a Believer/(I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone (US, 45 RPM Single, Record/Picture sleeve, COLGEMS, 66-1002
Sleeve is graded VG+ due to one light scuff near the top-center edge of the A-side of the sleeve and a couple of small wrinkles in the lower corners.  The record is graded Excellent, with a couple of cleanable fingerprints at the outside edge (not on the playing surface).

The Monkees - The Monkees Jukebox EP (US, 33-1/3, 7", Small center hole, 6-songs, COLGEMS, CGLP-101)
(Theme from)The Monkees/I Wanna Be Free/Take a Giant Step/Last Train to Clarksville/Saturday's Child/Tomorrow's Gonna Be Another Day
Cardboard sleeve is graded G+: Side A - Some delamination in lower-left corner.  Start of a seam split along the upper-right top edge and lower-right bottom edge, but no separation.  Some inner-ring scuffing.  Side B - Heavy inner-ring scuffing and areas of discoloration/wear.  Upper-left corner is slightly delaminated.  There is some slight bowing of the sleeve. 
The record is graded G+, with light-to-moderate scratches, mostly along the lead-in vinyl, but there are a few across the playing surface.

The Monkees - More of the Monkees Jukebox EP (US, 33-1/3, 7", 6-songs, COLGEMS, CGLP-102)
I'm A Believer/Mary Mary/When Love Comes Knockin' (At Your Door)/(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone/The Kind of Girl I Could Love/She
Cardboard sleeve is graded VG+, primarily due to a wrinkle in the lower left-hand and (to a lesser extent) right-hand corners of Side A
.  Side A retains a high level of "gloss" with no signs of inner/outer-ring scuffing.  The "white" back of the sleeve has several areas of yellowing and discloration around the outside perimeter, but no signs of ring wear or scuffing.  There are a couple of small signs of wear along the top and bottom edges of the sleeve.
The record is graded VG+, with some light scratches in the trail-in and trail-out vinyl, and a couple across the playing surface.

The auction starting price is set to primarily cover postage and insurance.  I believe in the free market system.  My main interest is in getting these items into the hands of a serious collector.  The law of supply and demand will take care of the rest.
Please note that I do NOT accept returns under any circumstances and ship ONLY to the US.  If you have any questions about the characteristics of these records/sleeves that I have not mentioned, you must ask them prior to placing your bid.  I currently have a 100% positive feedback response on eBay, so you can bid with confidence.
