(dh30) Michael Jackson / Thriller Lp /1982 Cbs Qe 38112 / Misprint / Disc (ex)

I have a lot of records, I list records daily, I have about 2,500 that I have not yet listed, please check back often. The records within the store are made up of my personal collection which I have guarded for decades while some are from private collections I have acquired.

Additionally, there have been price increases accross the board on everything from tape to mailers & filler. A letter preceding the artist name in the title is simply a code to help me locate the record quickly. I always said "over my dead body will I sell my records" then in 2016 I was diagnosed with stage IV cancer. This combined with CORONA has made this a very challenging period for me, my wife and our 10 year old.

Additionally, I suffered 2 small strokes in Early November this year. I use Whiplash or Boxery containers.

Be prepared to be a little patient and then some, it's slow to begin with and COVID has added to their delays. Lately it seems there IT tracking system has been lacking as well.

The Post Office has some strange routing policies as well. How I grade my records: I wish vinyl grading was more of a science, regretfully it is not. Highly subjective and usually one sided, its a challenge to get everyone to agree. I try to put myself in the buyers shoes when I grade.

Sometimes I can look at a record three different times and come out with three different opinions, nobody's perfect but I try. THE ALBUM JACKET IS THE 1st GRADE, THE DISC IS THE 2nd GRADE, I generally don't grade generic jackets. Unless otherwise noted, I grade as follows.

Mint (M) Never played and usually sealed, visually and audibly perfect. Near Mint (NM) Generally the record has only been played a few times and should be free of marks or scratches, it is not unusual to have some very minor inner sleeve rub. Excellent (EX) Same as above except possibly a few inaudible marks or light scratches as well as general evidence of use. Very Good Plus (VG+) A few further faults are acceptable but nothing that really compromises the record. Possibly a few crackles or pops, a few more light scratches and or scuffs.

Very Good (VG) A few more visual faults should be expected but still a very usable & enjoyable disc to listen to. Good Plus (G+) Its seen better days but still usable to some.

Frequent pops, clicks and scratches should be expected. Good (G) Undesirable for most but may have some important meaning for others. Probably a good amount of scratches and maybe a little warped but probably still will not skip. I use an Audio-Technica AT-LP140XP table with factory installed cartridge tracking at factory recommended forces. I understand we do not all share the same gear.

There is nothing fancy about how I grade the sleeves, all visual but sometimes the age will factor in. I take high resolution images of the disk before it leaves here so I can refer back if there is a conflict. Your return must be sent back in the original container and must include the RA#. Please let me know of any conflicts within 7 days of receiving the record.
