Joyful -- Case has normal shelf wear. Insert is in excellent condition. Disc is in excellent condition with no adverse signs of play.
First -- Case has normal to light shelf wear with 1" crack on front. Insert is in excellent condition. Disc has two areas that appear to have dirt/smudging -- one along an edge that is linear about 2" and the other opposite to that in just a fingertip sized cluster. I do believe they are just dirt and will come off with cleaning but I'll rate EX- just to be safe.
From my personal collection, I’m going digital and offloading most of my 10,000 title collection because of the space required to house it all. It’s great fun to go back through all this music I’ve acquired over 30 years but I’ve been slow in getting things listed. If looking for something specific, feel free to ask if I have it… if so, I’d be happy to move it to the top of the listing pile.
For combined shipping on multiple items from my store, place the items in your cart and select "request combined shipping" and I will provide invoice.
A note on my attempt to grade listings:
I use the condition of the disc itself to determine listing condition. I do not consider case/insert for that purpose because we've all ordered brand new CDs from retail stores that ship with damage to a case which is a long way from the heart of the CD.
I do rate the condition of the case, insert, and disc in the seller description. I steer clear of using mint, near mint, as to me that would be reserved for NEW.
My attempt to rate:
NEW -- new never played
Like NEW -- I likely opened to rip to my digital library
EX -- No adverse signs of use or play
EX- -- a couple of small marks
VG+ / VG / VG- -- a few to several marks that do not cover a majority of disc
G+ / G / G- -- many marks
AC+ / AC / AC- -- I likely purchased the disc used &/or played it in my car a lot. Most of these I consider "doggy" but don't think they are ready for the trash bin. All of the above play on my devices without issue. Because these are all from my personal library, if I come across a disc that doesn't play it goes into the bin.
I do my best to describe what I see with each disc because I've also purchased much of my library on the secondary market and received "doggy" discs rated as VERY GOOD or NEAR MINT. I've tried to be a good steward of my collection but with that said I've also opened sealed discs with faint scratches (what I call eyelash marks).
I hope that whatever music you purchase at my store that it brings some joy and light... Turn it up!!!
