This auction and more to follow will have quite a few RARE and EXCEPTIONAL discs. See my other items !!!

I will ALWAYS respect the fact that you need to know as much about what you’re buying, so that you can make an educated decision. This will apply to ANY records at ANY time, that I sell And all are made in the great U.S.of A. !!!!

ALWAYS REMEMBER I grade strict, and very honestly of ALL that I sell. I will do my best to represent the description of the merchandise as best that I can, and try not to leave anything out. In the event that there is any information that I missed, and if you should EVER have ANY questions regarding ANY of my collection that I am selling, PLEASE DON’T HESITATE TO ASK ME !!!

GRADING RECORDS/ITEMS

PLEASE NOTE:  I grade all my records visually ONLY.  I do not test any records I list.  If sound/imperfections are important to you, please ask me to play the record for its quality and give you an honest appraisal of sound.  So, before you place your bid, ask questions as I will not refund any monies  for records you think are inferior in sound after they arrive to you.  Again, ask questions, please, as I would not want you to be disappointed as I am a seller with great integrity!

I  All of my records are free of tape, writing, tears, stains, warps, stickers, number stickers, unless otherwise noted. I will NEVER sell ANY record at ANY time that is lower than a grade 4 (because I don’t have any !!)

Here's what the grading means:

10 = MINT

9 = Near MINT

8 = Better than VG, But below NM

7 = Very Good

6 = Better than Good, But below Very Good

5 = GOOD

4 = Better than Poor, but below Good

3 = POOR

2 = Really trashed

1 = Frisbee !!

I will now, for your information, give you a description of the Grading conditions that I have placed on these records :

MINT = Never played, awesome surfaces with NO defects !!

N MINT = Beautiful labels, beautiful playing surfaces, but has been played slightly VG + = Same as above, but played a bit more. Just a small amount of VERY SLIGHT / light surface scratches.

VG = Labels clean, but VERY SLIGHT ring wear. Playing surfaces show a little bit more light surface scratches / or very light surface scuffs.

VG - = Labels have light / medium ring wear, light surface scratches/ or scuffs. Has been played quite a bit.

G + = Labels have medium to heavy ring wear, many light surface scratches/ or many scuffs. Has been played alot, but still is an exceptable copy.

G = Labels have wear, and some wear damage. Surface scuffs and scratches are quite prevelent ( I will RARELY sell any of these, unless it is rare !!).

 FEEDBACK

 Feedback is the most effective way to either praise or destroy a persons reputation. I always make it a point to leave feedback for buyers and sellers alike. But this has not always been reciprocated. Please be kind and take a few seconds to leave feedback for ANY transactions that are processed by me, or any other person you do a transaction with. This way you can express with honesty and confidence - (good or bad), about your buying/selling experience, for everyone to see !! (thanks !!)
