eBay

Rare Hand Signed/Autographed (Not a print, reprint, copy or autopen machine copy) I am happy to provide date, location and provenance backstory of the signed item within ebay rules. 2 experts that are pledged to provide an unbiased independent opinion; authenticated & examined the item for double verification. My uncle worked as a radio Disc Jockey and collected autographs for 70 years for all music genres. (I also worked in the 1980's as a radio DJ at MSOE.EDU; playing all music genres). I bought my Uncle's autograph collection which added to my huge collection I have been collecting from sellers & artists for 55 years. I also buy autograph collections direct or at estate sales, auctions, etcetera and love going to live events across the USA and Europe; or requesting autographs from singers & musicians at radio stations or promotional events mailers.

This is a pet free no smoking household office one man operation, prior owner had a small cat and was also a non-smoker, so when he took photos once in a while, a stray tiny hair got into a photo, as photos are taken behind a small camera so hard to see any imperfection when a photo is taken which is not a scratch, so if you see a mark on a record photo in listing that is not a scratch or mark. I CLEAN RECORDS before I ship WITH AUTOMATED 1000 DOLLAR PROFESSIONAL RECORD STORE CLEANER so of course record will be clean and I ALSO INCLUDE FOR FREE NEW MINT GENERIC SLEEVES PAPER/POLY FREE IN YOUR PACKAGE. I SHIP IN BRAND NEW BOXES AND BRAND NEW CARDBOARD FLATS inside box for reinforcement & bubble wrap if necessary.

I personally play test all records and grade them as a certified record grader when I worked at Goldmine Magazine, the leading record grading magazine. I do not sell any records that are brand new pressed and made this current year we are in right now. The buyer of this item understands they are buying record(s) and (sleeves if applicable) that are decade(s) old and the buyer is instructed as well in the listing to view photos for condition of the album cover, sleeve and record(s) decades old album covers are not expected to look like brand new sealed unopened album covers made this current year as an example, We do not grade anything as a New Mint Sealed Record, all our items are sold as used even if unopened sealed and never played as they are older records and with time may not sound the same as the same record repressed this current year on brand new record pressing equipment with brand new vinyl though of course records are durable. The grading rules are a couple paragraphs above this paragraph in this listing so please do not buy if you want a new record pressed this current year which we do not sell, as vintage records - as buyers know- have on the run in of the record - you can hear a little needle chatter on some older records due to the needle of the stylus which still vibrates in the record groove. These vibrations cause very faint vibrations in the air (in other words, 'sound'), so the sound of the needle is not very loud. As experienced record buyers know the sound that you are hearing is the stylus in the groove vibrating back and forth when there is not a loud band or instruments playing between or during a song or for example during the run in of the record which has no grooves as well. If a buyer has dusty records in need of cleaning or buyer's record player stylus cartridge or needle is old, damaged, or the record player is not properly balanced you can cause damage to a record by the needle not being in great shape and perpendicular to the record it is playing and this will cause static, noise, skips, interruptions, or if not balanced properly, even a needle making a deep mark in record and getting stuck so make sure you take care of your equipment and replace parts with new parts when required and balance record player yearly, This item is sold as is, with no applicable returns except those that qualify per the ebay guarantee of course which we do accept. Other returns such as ordered by mistake, changed my mind, found a better price, don't like the music genre, doesn't fit, etcetera are at seller's discretion per ebay rules and we strive to give excellent customer service on returns as well.

*For those items that are autographed or signed that have suffered ageing decay or other issues (As ageing in ink pens or markers breaks down the ink molecules) or issues in shipping processes are subject to the 30-day Ebay money back guarantee and we can call ebay upon receiving returns to give fast customer service. Issues with some older autographs is they can fade over time, mainly due to exposure to light, especially ultraviolet (UV) rays from sunlight, which breaks down the ink's chemical bonds and causes the signature to lose its vibrancy. Other factors like humidity, temperature fluctuations, and improper handling can also contribute to fading or other issues. Autographs/signatures of items, sometimes after shipping to the buyer or the buyer shipping to other friends or associates a couple times could have marks if scuffed, stains or scratches not visible to naked eye if moisture in different climates got into the non-waterproof package; as most mail is not completely waterproof and moisture is bad for ink autographs/signatures. Authenticators use microscopes that zoom in 10 times or more and can see any damage or issues. Also; handling with fingerprints; which can have residue, oil or smudges, and/or small particles of dust/dirt in the household if not handled properly may get into packages when opened or shipped by the seller to other parties. We ship in protective sleeves so you can handle carefully and high-quality brand new packaging; brand new cardboard flats above and below item and free new mint generic sleeves as well for protection. We are happy to provide advice on services and provide quality customer service and follow ebay return rules. ***********
