These records are literally sacrificed, and are being sold for a friend who was forced to move away after losing his job,  The proceeds are going to help him in his time of need.  I only have the ability to visually inspect them, as I do not have a record player.  The gradings are as honest as I can possibly make them.  Please do not contact me for rebates, cancellations or refunds.

Thanks for your understanding.
