Thanks for having a look.

Take care!

I apologize in advance for what follows but I now feel the need to protect myself.

Disclaimer: All my grading is done visually only!! I do not own a record player but I try to be as honest and accurate as my old, tired eyes can be. So please understand two things before you buy: FIRST--I do not manufacture these albums!! I simply own them and now am trying to sell them! And SECOND--these HAVE NOT been play tested. I wish I could, but it's not possible. But I inspect each album as closely as possible. I look closely for any marks and then determine if they are feel-able or not. I am not trying to steal your money. I'm trying to pass along my treasures to good homes and save them from an ignominious death in the local landfill.

But if there is a true issue, please reach out to me and we will discuss it. I am open and honest. I'm no stranger to vinyl. And I'm pretty adept and accurate at my gradings; read my reviews. But I also realize that people see and grade differently. Just reach out and we'll take it from there.

I am an honest broker. I ask that you please be the same.
