Beatles 45RPM Records/PS (Deccagone; "Capitol" Unauthorized; RARE; PROMO; Color)

These items are from my personal collection, accumulated over a 55-year period.  This lot contains both the records and the sleeves.  The sleeves have been stored without the records since my original purchase.  The records and sleeves are visually graded, by me, based on Goldmine grading standards.  I try to grade conservatively.

Note that these are ALL UNAUTHORIZED RECORDINGS IN THIS FORMAT (PROMO, 7" COLORED VINYL, PICTURE SLEEVES). This is what I think is a complete set of the Deccagone singles (8 records/sleeves, but catalog #PRO-1107 was never assigned), and two bootleg "Capitol" 7" records/sleeves.  In particular, note that the "Capitol" picture sleeve for "Penny Lane" looks exactly like the original authorized 1st edition release, but it is NOT.  It's an unauthorized reissue of the original.  Since these are unauthorized, there may be blemishes in the original photos on the sleeves or manufacture of the vinyl.  These will be mentioned, as appropriate, but are considered to be part of the original pressings and not elements that impact the grading of either the record or sleeve.

The Beatles - Three Cool Cats/Hello Little Girl (Deccagone, PRO-1100, Blue translucent vinyl)

The Beatles - Sure to Fall/Money (Deccagone, PRO-1104, White translucent vinyl) Sleeve is graded VG+, with some light wrinkling and a very minor scuff on the A-side.  The white lines in the flag on the A-side appear to be in the original photo.

The auction starting price is set to primarily cover postage and insurance.  I believe in the free market system.  My main interest is in getting these items into the hands of a serious collector.  The law of supply and demand will take care of the rest.
Please note that I do NOT accept returns under any circumstances and ship ONLY to the US.  If you have any questions about the characteristics of these records/sleeves that I have not mentioned, you must ask them prior to placing your bid.  I currently have a 100% positive feedback response on eBay, so you can bid with confidence.
