As with the other listings there are basic guiding principles* 1) VG or better vinyl. 2) Condition of Jackets vary. *Typically all vinyl will be VG/VG+ or better, though the occasional lesser condition may be permitted, it'll be notated to the right [ie: Artist - Album Title (VG-)]. So what's a VG (or better) record, look and sound like? Typically these may have light marks, surface scuffs/rubs, surface hairlines. Signs of use, but not abuse. What'll it sound like? Depends on your player, and your ears, but to me, a typical VG album will have some surface, typically lower than the volume of the music itself, usually noted between tracks, or at softer passages. Depending on the style of music it'll be more obvious, and may be less tolerable. A VG copy of a Mozart Symphony, probably take a pass, A VG copy of the Rolling Stones, I'll enjoy that all day long. On occasion there may be a hairline which is light but can be felt with a fingernail. I try to err on the side of caution and typically will do a spot check, those likely will result in a more audible tick during that stretch. I go to great lengths to make proper judgement of what I think is acceptable or what is unacceptable, and on occasion when grading in large volume, I may just make a mistake. As a rule of thumb though, I always try to ask myself, would I be happy to have received this, as advertised. These records have typically been cleaned with a Spin-Clean to try and get an accurate visual grade, but these have not been deep cleaned, and all used vinyl, should always be cleaned once you receive it, prior to the first playback to ensure the best listening experience possible. Jacket grading can be a bit more subjective, and again due to the nature of this listing, assume it's somewhere in the middle, some jackets will look pristine, still be in the original shrink wrap, and look terrific. Otherwise will look like a 50 year old piece of cardboard that was enjoyed, but not abused. Covers that are genuinely wrecked, won't make it into this particularly listing [unless they are notated, like the vinyl, to the left of the Artist - Album Title (Poor Cover)]. Perhaps it's a nice title, the vinyl is in good shape, and would otherwise command a few dollars more as such. Covers may have some writing, such has initials, previous owners name, etc.., may have price stickers, or other stickers, may have seam/spine splits, though they should usually be a few inches or smaller. They may have ring/shelf wear, rubbing on the seams, etc.. as one may expect of most older jackets. That's not to say they all will, and I do try and weigh into my decisions, if a title is otherwise a bit more common, but this one is exceptionally nice, I'll list it here. Or, this one is a bit rougher, I can't just asking ($XX) for it, I'll just list it here for a bit cheaper than it may otherwise be worth. Again, I try my best to use my judgement of what is fair, both to you as a buyer and me as the seller. That said, if you're looking for wall-art, or pieces to be framed, this listing format is not where you should be looking. What about inserts, posters, inner sleeves, or other goodies that originally came with the album at initial release? If any of those things are still present, they will be passed along, but do not expect all to be there, it's not uncommon that most posters or inserts lost their way years ago, or were tacked to someone's bedroom wall. If it's a imperative to your purchase, message me and I can confirm if anything is there. Records will be shipped in a plastic outer sleeve, housed in a generic paper sleeve, placed outside the jacket to prevent seam splits during shipping. With the way a lot of vinyl record prices have soared recently, my intention for these listings to to provide a good value for your purchase, to produce good enjoyable, playable quality albums. This is not advertised as a Hi Fidelity Haven, and the expectation of audiophile nirvana should be tempered. However, if you're looking for quality player copies, it's my hope an expectation that this should quench your thirst. Any questions? Please don't hesitate to reach out! HOW IT WORKS: 1.) Use the drop down menu Near the top of the listing to scroll through all of the albums available. 2.) Pick and Highlight the album you are interested in, then click "Add to your Cart", repeat for each title you are interested in. When finished just click to checkout. Any promotions or discounts will automatically be applied by eBay at the time of your checkout. Combined shipping will automatically take place as well. If however you make multiple separate purchases it will charge you shipping for each transaction, just send me a message and will get it refunded to you if this happens. I have $3/$5/$14.99 Listings with the same format. Simply add each title to the cart and then check out all at once, combine on shipping and save!! I try my very best to be accurate, honest, and consistent when it comes to grading. I go to great lengths to hold myself accountable and fair, both to you, and to myself. Grading is subjective, and everyone's opinion can vary, sometimes greatly. I know what it's like to buy used vinyl online these days, and I know it can be a crapshoot. I grade the way I feel comfortable with it, and what I'd like to see receive when I receive an album. If I miss the mark on something, please don't hesitate to reach out and let me know. It never malicious or nefarious, and if I mess up, I'd like an opportunity to make it right, but I can't attempt to fix it, if I'm not made aware of it either. Some people are just looking to off load some record, some are/were hobbyists looking to downsize, otherwise are selling some stuff they came across in a storage locker. I'm in this for the long haul, I'm not interested in pawning off misrepresented items, I'm not looking to make a fast buck. I want your business, and I want your repeat business. I want you to know that if you buy from me, you get exactly what was offered, then I'll have done my job.
