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.
The Beatles - Ticket to Ride/Yes It Is (Capitol 5407) Sleeve Side A is graded Excellent - Very minor outer-ring evidence in the lower left-hand corner. Sleeve Side B is also graded Excellent - Very minor outer-ring evidence in lower right-hand corner and minor wrinkling along the top edge. The record is graded VG+. The vinyl has lost some of its sheen, and there are a couple of light scratches/visual blemishes.
The Beatles - Help!/I'm Down (Capitol 5476) Sleeve Side A is graded VG+, based on a small staple hole in the center, some minor wrinkling around the edges and a little scotch tape glue residue on the "B" and "E" of "BEATLES. Sleeve Side B is graded VG+, with the small staple holes in the center along the top edge Otherwise, the sleeve would be graded at least Excellent. The record is graded VG+, with a couple very light surface scratches and some cleanable fingerprinting.
The Beatles - Paperback Writer/Rain (Capitol 5651) Sleeve Side A is graded Excellent, with a couple of minor color blemishes between the "W" and "R" in "WRITER". Sleeve Side B is graded Excellent. There is minor wrinkling along the top edge, and upper right-hand side, of the sleeve. The record is graded VG, with a couple of cleanable fingerprints and some very light scratching. It is graded as VG because my name is written in ink above the title on the A-side.
The Beatles - Yesterday/Act Naturally (Capitol 5498) Sleeve Side A is graded VG+, primarily due to small staple holes in the top edge center. Otherwise it would be graded Excellent. Sleeve Side B is graded VG+ due to some scuffing along the outer-ring edge ("AT" in BEATLES) The record is graded VG+, with a couple of very light scratches and some cleanable fingerprints around the outside edge.
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.
