The Beatles 2012 Vinyl Box Set (All 14 albums, plus book and custom box)

$

325

This is the complete 2012 box set of Beatles albums, opened, but in excellent condition.  This includes a custom box, a coffee table photo book, and 14 studio albums on what feels like very substantial and heavy vinyl.  Condition information is provided below in detail.
BOX
      The box is in very good condition, with only a few marks and a dent on the top of the box (see second-to-last photo).  Top opens and closes cleanly with no problems.
BOOK
      The coffee table book is also in excellent shape.  It's a career retrospective of the group, consisting of 255 heavy, glossy pages with a ton of interesting photos.  The only real defect I found was a small mark in the center on the back of the book.  No torn or creased pages were found.
ALBUMS
      The album jackets are all in excellent shape, but none are *quite* "Near Mint".  This is because they have light scratches on the covers from the albums being taken from and returned to the box (they rub on each other as you pull them up or put them back in).  You will see these on each of the covers (see photos).  However, since it came into my possession, I've put all the albums in poly bags so no further rubbing or scratches can occur.  I also cleaned all the discs.  But, I have not played the records myself.  Here are the details on each individual album:
      1.)  "Please Please Me"               - Jacket is in "Excellent" condition  (has one small dent and crease at the bottom)               - Vinyl is in "Very Good +" condition (a few light scratches on Side 2, and some bubbling on label)

Between the photos and the descriptions above, you should have all of the information you might need to make an informed purchase.  Feel free to ask me any questions as well.  It's a WONDERFUL set for a Beatles fan to have, and it feels like a bit of a shame to part with it.  Brand new ones sell in the 700s or higher here on eBay.  As mine is already opened and has some light wear from use, I marked it down a bit.  It's a great opportunity to pick it up for less money.  Good luck!
