ELVIS 2 TIME LIFE LP BOXES SEALED MINT

$

ITEM DESCRIPTION

Up for auction are two boxed sets of Elvis Presley, both released by Time Life. The two sets are:

ELVIS PRESLEY 1954-1961 (STL-106)

RELEASED SEPTEMBER 1986

2 LPS WITH A POSTER/BRCHURE INSIDE

ELVIS PRESLEY 1954-1965 (STL-126)

RELEASED 1989

2 LPS WITH A POSTER/BRCHURE INSIDE

Both sets were released in the U.S. and of the two sets, the “1954-1965” release is much more difficult to obtain. The set may very well have just not sold as well as the earlier release or maybe it was produced in much smaller quantities. In any case, you get both sets in this auction.

CONDITION

Both sets are 100% stone mint with no creases visible under the shrinkwrap, no seam splits, and no worn corners. When I was purchasing these sets for my collection I had a difficult time finding pristine copies without any damage. These two sets are perfect in every way, you will never need to upgrade these sets.

GRADING

I have always used the “Goldmine Grading System” to grade my records and I rarely sell records that are not in “mint” or “near mint” condition. I assume that the contents of sealed records are mint since they are factory fresh, never having been tampered with. However, even though an lp or box set is sealed, the exterior of the package still needs to be graded. Thus, I look for any defects such as seam splits, creases visible through the shrinkwrap, and damaged corners. Any defects to the exterior packaging of still sealed records will be noted in my ads.

PACKAGING

I have custom boxes made to ship records. These boxes provide me with just enough room to enclose an lp or boxed set in bubble wrap in order to prevent the corners of the covers from being damaged in transit. I find that commonly sold record shipping boxes do not allow for this extra protection resulting in damaged album covers and boxed sets. Thus, I have my own boxes made so I can ship records just as I would like to receive them as I am a record collector myself.
