BEATLES Blue Box EP Collection BEP14 VG-/VG++

$

100

Hey folks. Hope you like the offerings. Keep in mind I'm just a guy, not a business, and this is my personal collection.

Grading is visual, unless I make comments about play.

All records are in vinyl sleeves with the record outside the cover, and shipped in record mailers.

SHIP TO US ONLY. Sorry, not going through the international thing, looks like too many hassles. And I think I filled out the ebay form correctly to show I ship only to the US, so if the listing says I ship internationally, I don't.

All single records are shipped media mail at $4 unless the listing specifies otherwise (like for a box set, etc.). If you have multiple wins I'll keep the shipping cost as low as possible.

I generally ship on Monday for those who pay Sunday, so prompt payment works well for both of us.

Feedback and prompt payment appreciated. As usual, questions cheerfully answered for free.

So this one is:

NOTE: IF YOU WIN MORE THAN ONE AUCTION DON'T PAY UNTIL I SEND YOU AN INVOICE.  Apparently that's the only way I can discount shipping for multiple wins (finally figured it out).

2nd Note: Life is catching up to me, so I'm going to have to take a break, this will be my last week listing for at least the foreseeable future.  Thanks to everyone who came and came back, and hope you found something that brought you up or took you back.  Hope to see you again eventually.  Now then....

Parlophone BEP14

I’ll give the box a VG- with some corner, edge, and surface wear. The bottom shows more wear. No splits, and all lettering is intact.

Sleeves are generally between VG++ and NM. Some show signs of handling, generally a light crease around the mouth. A number of them are gently rumpled (especially the front) instead of being dead flat. No splits.

Labels are generally NM, but two labels have bubbling (pictured).

Records are generally M- to NM. However, virtually all the records are dished, with the center slightly offset to one side rather than the whole record being flat. When the record is on a turntable one way the perimeter of the record is flat to the turntable mat and the center with the spindle hole is raised off the mat a little bit. When you turn the record over you get the reverse, the center is tight to the mat and the perimeter floats just barely above it. A couple may exhibit a small rolling warp, but these are small, as shown in some of the photos. Don’t know if this is common to the set, or if I got lucky. I played one with the outside edge in the float position, and there were no play issues.
