These items are from my personal collection, accumulated over a 55-year period.  This lot contains both records and sleeves (described separately below).  The sleeves have been stored without the records since my original purchase.  Records and sleeves are visually graded, by me, based on Goldmine grading standards.  I try to grade conservatively.
John Lennon - Cold Turkey/Don't Worry Kyoko (US, Record/Picture Sleeve, Apple, 1813) I have two copies of the picture sleeve, both included in this auction. Sleeve 1: Sleeve is graded VG+, mainly due to the obvious inner-ring scuffing around the skull (both sides) and some light wrinkling. Sleeve 2: Sleeve is graded G+.  The scuffing around the scull is heavier than on Sleeve 1 with one spot of outer-ring scuffing. There is some slight bending of the sleeve around the bottom two corners.
I have two copies of the record, both included in this auction.  There is a difference in the label lettering font and location of artist (side vs. bottom).  I don't know anything about the history or legitimacy of label variations.  See the photos for details.
Record A (artist location on bottom/lighter font) is graded VG+ with a couple of light scratches and cleanable fingerprints.  Side A trailer wax is etched "S45-47025-X6 #4".  Side B trailer wax is etched " S45-47026-X6 #2 ".  Both sides have a stamped "1 AM" in a small triangle. Record B (artist location on side/heavier font) is graded VG, with several visible surface scratches.  Side A trailer wax is etched "S-45-47025-W-3" and what looks like a stamped asterisk and a stamped "1".  Side B trailer wax is etched "S45-47026-W-3" and what looks like a stamped asterisk and a stamped "2". 
John Lennon - Instant Karma/Who Has Seen the Wind? (US, Record/Picture Sleeve, Apple, 1818) Sleeve Side A is graded Excellent, with some very minor wrinkling.  Sleeve Side B  is graded VG+, with some light inner-ring wear/scuffing to the left of Yoko's face.  The record is graded M-.
Elastic Oz Band (Bill Elliott) - God Save Us/Do The Oz (US, Record/Picture Sleeve, Apple, 1835) Sleeve is graded VG+, with slight wear at the corners, some wrinkling along the top edge, minor inner-ring scuffing on the front of the sleeve.  The record has "PENDING" printed on the right-side label of both sides above the Intro/Total time markers.  The playing surface is graded M-.  The A-side label has evidence of a tear at the top, but it's not lifted, so it may have happened during original disk manufacture.
Elton John Band featuring John Lennon - 28th November 1974 (UK, Record/Picture Sleeve, 33 RPM EP, This Record Co. Ltd., DJS 10965, Live, Unauthorized) Side A: I Saw Her Standing There Side B: Whatever Gets You Through The Night/ Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
Sleeve is graded Excellent, with minor inner-ring "evidence".  Record is graded M-
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.
