I provide ample padding in each package to prevent shifting during the shipping process. I also use industry-standard shipping boxes which are specifically designed for shipping records. Records are shipped outside their sleeves (if a sleeve is included) and covers to prevent damage during transit. 



Goldmine Standard Grading:

I grade conservatively, please see my grading scale details below the record description.

*** Please read the complete description carefully and listen to the sound clips included below (if a clip is offered). I prefer being very descriptive. Grades are subjective to the listener, all the information below is given to let serious buyers know exactly what to expect. ***

Vinyl:   strong VG+ to VG++  (7.5 to 8 or more / 10)Very conservatively graded. 
VPI machine cleaned!
This is a rather obscure record out of Olean, NY on the KINZUA label accompanied by its insanely rare original picture sleeve and insert.  I purchased this one from an elderly couple that lived in NY and had relocated here to Florida decades ago, they finally decided to sell some records they'd been carrying around since the 60's or so... this was one of those records.
The record has been cleaned on a VPI machine and handled carefully. Take a listen to sound clips included below - they were taken directly from the record without any filtering at 192kbps. I also have the complete file of the record playing; a link to the entire file will be available to the winning bidder if needed.
Vinyl shows very nice.  Great original luster. Some very light sleeve scuffs as well as a few light and small marks.  Record plays very nice with only a few light pops and only light background noise in general... there is also a little feedback on the highs randomly from the recording / mastering, this can be heard in the play clips I've included below. This didn't detract from the listening, I thoroughly enjoyed playback!
Labels look exactly as pictured. Original metal 45 adapter is still installed and comes with the purchase.
I prefer being very conservative to have buyers happy. I do the best I can to insure all my customers get the record they expect and the service they deserve.
Please judge the playback for yourself below.  I use a DUAL 731Q direct drive with an Ortofon 5E cartridge/stylus setup.
This is a visual grade as well as a complete play grade. Take a listen to the playback from both sides below!

Cover / Sleeve:  
I was extremely happy to find this sleeve.  I've never seen another one, neither listed online or otherwise.  I'm sure there are others out there but I would assume they are very hard to come by as the sleeve has a well-built yet hand-made look to it. This one is in VG+ condition or better, depending on your opinion.  The paper is curled a bit at a couple edges and there are some light age spots as shown.  There are no seam splits from my inspection but there is a small hole about the size of a marker head at the bottom corner on one side.  Otherwise, the pictures do a great job of representing the cover.
The insert has a single fold as expected.  It is in very nice shape overall... around a VG++ grade or better.
The record and insert both ship in a plain paper sleeve and outer poly sleeve; they will protect the record during transit. Then the picture sleeve (which is slightly larger than regular factory picture sleeves) will be sent in an LP poly bag - everything combined as one. All will be packed tight and padded as all my records ship. Please see my feedback to rest assured I take pride in my shipping practices.
Please inspect the pictures well for something I may have missed mentioning. I've enjoyed listening to the record, its time now to let it go to make room for more acquisitions. I try to be conservative when grading, I hope my description was sufficient.



Thanks for looking!
Mike

Goldmine Grading Details
SS = Still Sealed
any defects will be listed and/or photographed to complete the description

NM- = Near Mint Minus
just short of perfect - acceptable defects would include a hairline mark not detectable to the touch and not affecting playback, background noise is nearly silent

VG++ = Very Good Plus Plus
most records I will list fall under this grade, just short of NM- but may have a mark or contact wear to the label to grade it slightly lower, maybe a drill hole or saw cut, maybe a mark or name written on the label lightly, sound is still great, loud and near perfect, cover may have slight edge or corner wear, maybe slight ring wear

VG+ = Very Good Plus
 a great record, sound is high quality though may have a few pops or clicks, overall very nice looking vinyl possibly with light marks & scuffs, labels may have a name or mark on them, possible light contact wear to the label, covers may have a small split but not large or gaping, edge wear on cover may show more than slight, may be a mark on cover

VG = Very Good
only records I will list with this grade would be rather rare or of higher book value, meant to sell as a filler until a better record comes along, vinyl may have feel-able marks but should play through without skipping, pops or clicks may be louder than usual, may have marks or wear on the label, cover may have open splits, wear on print, may have marks or other very apparent defects (all will be stated in description either by type or in the pictures)
