Let's say you have a copy of this where the vinyl is in great condition, but there's only three of the inserts surviving, and the sleeve's been through many parties.
Or let's say you really love the inserts above everything else about this great/crazy record.
Or let's say you love LIVE AT LEEDS and don't mind a few crackles in the sound--in fact, that just makes it better.
Let's say you're a Who fan, or think you might be.
This is one of the coolest record packages ever produced during the British Invasion.
Twelve inserts, all different sizes, all facsimiles of receipts and contracts plus posters and photos, all relating to this one gig early in 1970 at Leeds, which I would remind you is a town in England, specifically Yorkshire, which if you don't know what that means musically, I will further remind you that the city next door is Manchester. You've heard of Manchester.
This is the only live album the Who put out, during their actual period of being the Who (i.e. during Keith Moon's lifetime). 
They recorded the gig on Valentine's Day, February 1970, and by May of that same year, the crocuses barely blooming, this whole package was out in record stores across the world. How? I don't know.
The first 150,000 copies contained what you see here--the twelve inserts (crisp and clean and apparently barely ever handled by anybody), the custom sleeve printed with the same color as the buff-colored sleeve (also in great condition), the handlettered labels with the notice on them in big capital letters CRACKLING NOISES OK. DO NOT CORRECT!!!
Yes, technical PA failings and all, the band loved this gig so much they wanted it out there immediately.
Also: see? Crackling noises are ok.
Which brings us to why this copy isn't $75 or so. Side 2 is VG+, but there are light scratches on Side 1 which produce light steady surface noise. Listening to it carefully on Stax headphones, I could hear the noise during breaks in the music, but the music (THIS music) of course drowned out any idea of surface noise.
So this is a good chance to get this wonderful concert in a great package, for little more dough than a dumb digital remixed reissue. (OK I won't get started on how much better LP masters used to be, in the days of the pros who would produce these every workday and really knew how to get the hottest sound out of a piece of vinyl.)
Is this record underrated? It sure is.
Flat $3 shipping for this one.
