All 30 Beatles CEMA Capitol Colored Vinyl 7 inch 45rpm Jukeboxes Only NM

Time marches on, so it's time to start clearing out some of my collection. After all, I can't play them after I'm gone.

Here's what little history I know about this series:

In 1994, Capitol issued a series of 15 7-inch singles from their CEMA Special Markets Division with "For Jukeboxes Only!" printed on the label, followed by another series of 15 discs in 1996, making them the rarest stock-copy Beatles singles ever released in the USA. I’ve read that the entire series included 11 singles that had never appeared on 7-inch vinyl in the US before but I haven’t dug through reference books to verify this.?? What I have for sale is the unplayed, complete, (mostly) colored vinyl 45-rpm collection on the Capitol Purple Label. Each record and its color is listed below. Please note this set does NOT include the two rare factory color misprints. These records have never been played. Heck, none of them have even been placed on a turntable; they've never even been out of their sleeve until this photo was taken. Therefore, they’ve been visually graded only. I’m one of those who doesn’t believe that any record is perfect, so even though they’ve never been played I’m grading them as Near Mint (or Mint Minus, if you will). Each record is in the plain white factory sleeve it was shipped in. They have been removed from the sleeves only once, for the photo accompanying the ad.

Here’s what’s up for bid:

US Sales only. Packages will be sent via Media mail. Sorry, but I've had more problems in the past dealing with international postal services and customs than I care to repeat. I ship only to PayPal verified addresses.

Serious bidders only, please.  Payment by PayPal only. Payment expected within 3 days. I ship within 2 business days barring illness or natural catastrophes. We still get snow/ice here this time of year, which regularly knocks out power and internet, plus closes some of the roads, so cr@p can happen. On your end as well as mine, so let me know if you have an issue. I don't accept bids from buyers that have more than two strikes against them.

Given the rarity of the items, no returns or exchanges. Sorry, but these aren't commodities that can be swapped out easily.
