$

100

White Album with embossed "The BEATLES" cover
Number A1593866

Six Misprints on labels:
"Obladi Oblada" (missing dashes)
"Bungalow Bill" (incomplete title)
"Rocky Racoon" (misspelling)
"Revolution No. 1" (includes "No.")
"Revolution No. 9" (includes "No.")
"Goodnight" (as one word instead of two)

Records - VG (pretty close to VG+.  These do have slight scuffs and light scratches, but mostly look great - a couple short but serious scuffs on side 4)

Cover - VG (Some visible wear/discoloration, top seams partially taped, price-sticker removal scar top right corner of front cover)

Pictures - Paul picture looks great, small crease left side of Ringo, significant creasing to the left sides of John and George, see image.

Poster - Creased at one seam.  Note - the original poster that came with this ("printed in USA" in circle) is taped at all seams, so I have substituted another poster with no tape ("printed and made in Great Britain by Garrod and Lofthouse International Ltd.")  This is not a trick, I just want to provide the best poster.  If you would prefer the taped original poster, I'll send that instead, but without a change in the album's price.

Questions - Feel free to ask questions, but only if you're actually serious about buying this.

GRADING

Albums are Visually Graded, Record, then Cover, followed by any specific notes, modifying the grading description.  If you have questions beyond the description given, please ask.

Mint (M) All-around perfect, no signs of use.

Near Mint (NM or M-) Nearly perfect.  Record has barely been played, if ever.  Cover has no creases, seam splits or other defects.

Very Good Plus (VG+) Record has been played but well cared for.  Vinyl may show slight scuffs or light scratches but should not skip.  Label may show ring-wear or discoloration.  Cover may show slight wear, minor creases and/or writing. 

Very Good (VG) Record has been played a lot (but not played to death), has scuffs and scratches.  Label and cover show signs of wear, may have writing, tape/stickers, seam-wear.  Pretty standard “used record.”

Good (G), Good Plus (G+) Record shows significant signs of wear, but still playable (with some snap-crackle-pop.)  Cover may have creases, seam splits, writing, tape/stickers, moisture damage.

Poor (P), Fair (F) Record is cracked, badly warped, toddlerized, may have been used in a game of ultimate frisbee.  Cover is badly damaged, has split seams, heavily marked, water damage...this item is not just used, it's been USED UP.

Flash! – my camera flash usually shows up in these images (no, my albums don’t all have white splotches on them.)

SHIPPING / PAYMENT / MAKE AN OFFER

Shipping - I love getting records in the mail, and I can't stand it when they're badly packed.  My packing policy is “do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”  I believe a cover exists to protect the vinyl, so I ship the record in the cover unless you specify otherwise.  I usually ship within 24 hours, sometimes it takes 1-2 business days.  Expedited shipping is not a problem, but obviously that will change the shipping cost.  Please note that Media Mail items don’t always get handled so gently en route, so please consider insurance.  Add a dollar or two to shipping and I’ll add extra cardboard or another record to strengthen the packaging.

International Shipping – I’ll ship to any country, but please ask for the shipping cost before bidding.  I use the ebay shipping calculator, but add a couple dollars to cover extra packaging so your record will arrive safely.  If you don’t ask in advance about international shipping cost, please do not get on my case about the charge on the invoice.

Payment – I expect payment promptly.  A record sells – you’re excited, I’m excited (to spend the money on more records).  Don’t leave me in suspense for five days about whether or not you’re actually going to pay for it.  If you have not paid for your item within seven days (or contacted me to make an arrangement) I will report you to ebay and re-list the item.  As some other seller once said: “Dead-Beet Bidder!!!  Do Not Waist My Time!!!” 

MAKE AN OFFER – if you want numerous items, make an offer and I’ll consider bundling a custom Lot with a ‘buy-it-now’ option (including negotiable shipping charge.)  The worst that can happen is I say “no, thanks” and we proceed with the auction.  More likely I’ll make a counter-offer, and we can go from there.
