Description

RUSH - SNAKES & ARROWS  PREMIUM HQ-180 RTI VINYL PRESSING DOUBLE LP STILL FACTORY SEALED
VINYL - MINT (STILL FACTORY SEALED)
COVER - NEAR MINT/MINT MINUS.  I CHOSE TO GRADE THE ALBUM THIS WAY SIMPLY BECAUSE THE COVER SHOWS TWO VERY LIGHT SHELF WEAR BLEMISHES ON THE BOTTOM CORNERS, MEASURING 5-7MM, BUT NOT CREASING THE COVER ITSELF (SEE DIGITAL CLOSE-UP PHOTOS ABOVE OF ALL CORNERS).
THE WINNING BIDDER WILL RECEIVE THEIR NEW ALBUM IN AN LP CARDBOARD BOX, WITH ADDITIONAL CARD BOARD SLIP SHEETS ON BOTH SIDES FOR ADDED PROTECTION. I SHIP USPS MEDIA MAIL (WITH DELIVERY CONFIRMATION) BECAUSE I FEEL USPS DOES THE BEST JOB AT GETTING MY PACKAGES TO ME EFFICIENTLY AND UNDAMAGED.
Album is part of my personal collection. Even though the album has never been opened or played, I still believe in grading conservatively, according to Goldmine Standards. I do not want the buyer to have any surprises, thus I make every effort to take accurate photos. 
If you feel that you have been mislead in any way as to the true condition of this album, please notify me within 14-days. I want you to be completely satisfied, as I take my 100% rating seriously. Buyers remorse is not a valid reason, sorry. 
All items are visually graded unless otherwise specified.

GOLDMINE GRADING STANDARD

Still Sealed (SS)

Mint (M)
Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade, If at all. 


Near Mint (NM or M-)

The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ringwear or other signs of slight handling. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. Andof course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like. Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just gotit home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.


Very Good Plus (VG+)

A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces mayshow some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect thesound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen byrepeated play. Picture sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also andmay be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. In general, if not for a couple things wrongwith it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.


Very Good (VG)

Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages andduring a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feelwith a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true ofpicture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.


Good (G), Good Plus (G+)

A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise andscratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at thebottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the cover.


Poor (P), Fair (F)

The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without
skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on
all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover

barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, crinkled, and written upon.
