CONDITION:
The gradations of condition I use are as follows: MINT, Near-Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor.
The condition of the still-sealed jacket is near-MINT. Really, there are no flaws to speak of and the album appears as new. There are no owners' markings, bends, seamsplits,or other defects and the album remains solid, bright, and glossy. Overall, this is a truly fine collector's copy.
The condition of the 2 LPs is MINT throughout – these are pristine, still-sealed LPs – the ideal collector's copies.
