Special note to foreign bidders: PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING!! IN PURCHASING THIS ITEM, YOU ARE AGREEING THERE ARE NO REFUNDS FOR ANY REASON ON FOREIGN SHIPMENTS. In order for me to ship out of the U.S., it is much more effort and expense.

1. Because of this, I do not ship to foreign buyers if the value of the item is less than $20.
2. For items $20-$50, I can ship First class International to buyers with perfect feedback. This method is NOT insurable or trackable, but costs less. Weight must be less than 4 pounds.
3. For items $50-$100, I would ship via priority mail international with insurance for the value bid. Some countries do not allow insurance. Please e-mail for shipping costs before bidding as this method costs more, but is insurable (usually) and trackable.
4. For items > $100, it will have to go some method that can be signed for. Global Express, probably, it is expensive!

Examples of shipping as of 2/22/18(to the U.K.):

1. 9 ounces - $23.50 (first class international) + cost of box
2. 9 ounces - $35.25 (Priority Mail International) + cost of box
3. 9 ounces - > $50 (Global Express) + cost of box

END NOTE TO FOREIGN BUYERS.

Description: Up for your consideration is the next in a series of unique Lps, this one featuring Rock Hudson.

A few unique things about this item:
Firstly, this record retains the original shine with no visible imperfections other than an apparently short, light sleeve mark  grading by sight in normal room light.  I'm sure if you took this and put it under a 1000 watt bulb, you'd probably find something that makes it less than mint.  If you're that kind of collector, let me suggest this auction is not for you.

I don't claim this record is mint.  Based on past experience and visual examination, I'd expect the tracks to average about half way between VG+(excellent) and near mint with some scattered very, very light surface noise such that might be heard on just about any record.  If you want an audio grade of an entire record, no problem, just drop me a note well in advance of the end of auction.  You can then assign your own grade based on my comments on what I heard and the GRADING SCALE BELOW!.     

Keep in mind how it plays for me may differ than how it plays for you based on differences in audio equipment. 

Secondly, at the time of this listing, no current sales on e-bay!

So this is your chance to own a unique item at a reasonable price.  Bid early and often so you don't miss out on this auction!   

It is further described below, please take the time to read before bidding.

I am using the Goldmine scale of G=Good(1), VG = Very Good(2), VG+ = Very Good Plus(excellent)(3), NM = Near Mint(4) when grading the disc(s). 

Here is a summary of the record(s):

Additional criteria I use when audibly grading records for people:

• NM(4) = absolutely nothing wrong at all (very rarely happens--I've even opened sealed records and they don't play Near Mint)
• 3.5-3.9 = very, very light surface noise
• 3.1-3.4 = very light surface noise, very light pops
• VG+(3) = up to light pops and light surface noise (below this, one's enjoyment is affected, very subjective)
• VG(2) = up to medium pops and moderate surface noise
• G(1) = up to heavy pops and heavy surface noise

I can ship in a  13 x 13 x 2" box. Weight with box is about 1 pound 2 oz. Shipping is $3.33 Media Rate (1-2 pounds) + $1.20 box/tape/packing = $4.53.

Alternatively, I can ship in a 14x14x6" box.  Weight with box is about 2 pounds 2 oz.  Shipping is $3.86 Media Rate (2-3 pounds) + $1.70 box = $5.56.

This auction is currently set to ship in the smaller box.  If you want the larger box, let me know and I'll send an appropriate invoice.

Buyer pays shipping/handling. Standard method within U.S. is Media Rate, $4.53 This includes online tracking. Outside U.S., e-mail location to determine S/H costs prior to auction end.
