Capitol PCR 8370 box set with 3 LPs (ED1 green/gold LP labels) • Nathan Milstein • Bach Partitas & Sonatas for Violin      Auction Details Contents: • Bach: Partitas & Sonatas for Unaccompanied Violin
• Nathan Milstein (violin)
• Capitol PCR 8370 — Made in USA; Recorded 1954-1956
• 3 LP box set w/insert (no stereo issue exists)
• Records all early editions: green labels with 3/4" outer perimeter band of a gold-bronze color (see photo) Info: Although not in Mint condition the rich sound of Milstein's violin & his nuanced performance is not affected by the surface wear. This album is a rewarding listen & I suspect will really shine when played with a mono cartridge. Condition: RECORDS: Using a stereo cartridge 5 sides played in VG condition and 1 side in G+ condition (slightly noisier than VG). For detail about Seller's condition grades see the "Grading Descriptions" section of this ad's Terms & Conditions below. Visually the sides are glossy though have a number of non-feelable hairlines with 2 sides having a fair number though we've all seen worse.   ALBUM COVER: The box with the still impressive glossy laminated front cover is quite serviceable. Most of the wear is out-of-the way on the sides of the box. The laminated front cover remains beautiful, with but some light scuffs. The hinged spine has separated cleanly along the spine's rear edge. There are small pieces of black tape affixed to 3 corners on the side of the box which keep the corners square (not split) & a small sticker on the rear cover that has an ID number. Also there's some scrapping (thin in width) in several places, mostly on the bottom edge, close to where the edge meets the front cover. In those locations the black outer material scrapped off. Shipping &
Purchase Details: SHIPPING NOTE: As the album's width prevents using an LP mailer this album will ship using custom packaging materials that create a nearly indestructible package. The cost for these robust materials & their added weight increase the ship fee slightly relative to use of an LP mailer.

Although I'd love to ship an LP packaged properly for $4—this is impossible. Sellers receive but $3.52 of a $4 ship fee as Ebay/paypal take a 12% commission (16% for Buy It Now). That $3.52 doesn’t even cover post office fees which ebay/paypal mandates to include delivery confirmation &/or insurance. And there’s still packaging supplies (mailer, cardboard fillers, tape, labels, insulation) to pay for which are pricey when the best LP mailers & packaging methods are used: See the Packaging section below. In order to approach, though still not make actual expenses, the ship fee for an LP is more than $4. In turn, with care & respect, your LP will ship promptly and packaged properly. Grading Descriptions Follow the link to learn more about the grading used to describe the condition of LPs. Seller uses these grades:VG, VG+, EX, EX+, NM-, NM, MINT (MINT=Sealed). NOTE: MINT is reserved solely for factory sealed albums. NM is the highest grade given to an album that is not sealed, indicating an LP visually appearing PRISTINE as new. LPs that have but a fingerprint or spindle mark grade less than NM. To determine visual grades, LPs are examined close to a bright halogen light which indicates flaws not noticeable in other lighting conditions. Shipping Method Comparison
(USA Buyers) Media Mail. This is the slowest delivery method. Patience is a must as the post office states it may take 9 or more days to receive. Priority Mail. Along with expedited delivery (typically 2-3 business days), Priority Mail incurs less mischief while in transit & is less susceptible to heat induced warping in the summer (a good reason to use Priority Mail in the summer months). Shipping Method Comparison
(Non-USA Buyers) First Class International Mail (FCI). Patience is a must as this is the slowest delivery method, so slow that the post office won't quote the time it takes. Could take 14 days, could take 30 days, & might take 60 days should a package be delayed by customs. Priority Mail International (PMI). The post office estimates delivery in 6-10 business days to most destinations, not including any customs delays. Online details that indicate the progress of the shipment while in transit are unavailable, though if the destination is to certain major cities the shipment & delivery dates might be viewable. Express Mail International (EMI). The fastest delivery method with an estimated delivery in 3-5 business days to major markets, not including any customs delays. Delivery so fast that the post office provides a money-back guarantee to some countries if delivery takes longer. Includes in-depth tracking details viewable online indicating the progress of the shipment while in transit. Low cost insurance such that an insured EMI shipment costs almost the same as a slower PMI package that's insured. Includes up to $100 of insurance at no additional charge. Additional Terms Non-USA Buyers Customs forms must indicate the paypal/ebay sale amount as the record of the sale defines & documents an album's insured value. The post office mandates non-USA shipments greater than $400 or over 4 pounds use Priority or Express Mail. Seller only ships to international destinations covered by his insurance carrier. As the carrier can change their coverage at any time the Seller reserves the right to cancel a sale should the destination country not be eligible for insurance coverage. Please email should you wish to determine current eligibility for your country. Due to postal issues, shipments to Mexico, Italy, India, & Malaysia must ship via Express Mail International. Packaging Albums ship properly packaged: (1) Album covers are insulated to prevent them from being scratched or scuffed while in transit. (2) Used albums are "re-sealed" to prevent record movement. This eliminates friction induced scratches/scuffing that occur when an LP is shipped outside its protective album cover & prevents seam damage to album covers. (3) When an LP has a delicate album cover the LP is removed & inserted into another cover & "re-sealed" which properly insulates the LP. (4) LPs within box sets are insulated to prevent their movement while in transit. (5) Odd-sized box sets that do not fit into LP mailers ship double boxed inside robust mailers.
