The Beatles Collection Parlophone Stereo Vinyl Lp Box Set Glorious Condition

For sale: a nice crisp copy of The Beatles Collection stereo box set on Parlophone.  This is in great condition, I've never played it myself but the majority of the records appear to be in unplayed condition.  The only records that visually appear to have been played are the White Album, which has a nearly invisible hairline scratch on one side and has some yellow stains on the inner sleeve.  The "Rarities Collection" also has a pinhead size nick on one side, and a couple of the other records have mysterious yellow stains on the inner sleeves.  The stains appear to be from spilled tea or water, but the records and outer sleeves do not share any of the evidence whatsoever of something spilling on them.  I've seen similar discoloration on other record inner sleeves from otherwise perfect records, and there doesn't quite seem to be an explanation for it.  Otherwise the records are glossy and appear to be in unplayed condition, if they were played it couldn't have been more than once or twice, though some do have some slight amounts of dust on them.  I didn't want to try and clean them, I didn't want to risk messing them up somehow.  The three gatefolds in the collection are so stiff and offer so much resistance to being opened that I suppose that I could be the very first person to open them.  The top flap of the blue outer box is very stiff in this same way and I would assume that the records have only been removed from the box a handful of times, mostly by me.  The "Rarities" album has a slight crease on the upper right corner, the "Beatles for Sale" has a slight dog ear on the top left corner.  The nature of the sleeves of the records in this particular collection seem to be very fragile(basically artwork printed on regular paper) and the corners and printing are very sensitive to scuffs and damage from handling.  As such, there is some VERY slight such wear on some of the very corners of many of the album sleeves.  The blue outer box has two small scrapes on it, one on the corner and one on the side.  These are shown in the picture. Besides these problems, the sleeves seem to be in excellent condition, the hinges all perfectly intact on the outer box.  All inserts are present.  This set is not in 'perfect' condition, but it's pretty darn close and has been well taken care of by me and by the original owner.  I'd hate to get rid of these, but I really just have too many redundant copies of the Beatles discography and I didn't feel comfortable playing them.  These need to go to somebody who really appreciates them!
