I have been collecting records now for the last 20+ years and just over the last couple years i have been selling off that collection.  Many of these vinyl's will be original releases, some will still have shrink and hype stickers intact and may have original inserts and all of them are rated in VG to NM condition all the way around from the cover to the vinyl itself.  Several will also be limited edition reissues and many of those will be still factory sealed.  A little bit about how i handle my vinyl collection.  When i receive a record the first thing i do is to place the insert inside the cover if it came with one and was shipped outside.  Next i always place the cover inside a brand new fresh 3mm plastic vinyl sleeve for protection.  Next, i always clean the vinyl and play test it for any skips or noticeable popping sounds or other flaws.  I make note of any scratches and how they effect the play back of the record.  Once i am done grading the record, it goes in a brand new fresh audiophile sleeve to keep it in exactly the same condition as i received it in.  Periodically i will play my records for my own listening pleasure but many go un-played after that initial play test and cataloging.  Any time i play my record, i always clean it before each play and after each play to ensure it is kept in the best condition possible.  I also clean the needle on my turn table before each play.  As you can see, i take a lot of pride in my record collection and keeping it in the best condition possible so that when i do sell them, you will know exactly what you are buying and there are no surprises. 
Today's auction is for a CBS record Japanese releases for the iconic band Stryper and their infamous album "Soldiers Under Command"  "Soldiers Under Command" is from 1985 as well and was pressed specifically for Japan to include an OBI Strip, 4-page insert with lyrics printed in both English and Japanese plus only released in the very first Japan releases was TWO 12x12 Posters, many speculate that the ones containing the two posters was so limited that only a handful still exist fully intact today. It also has its original Japan merchandise insert which is very rare to still have with these! The cover itself is in VG++ condition and includes the Hype OBI Strip, it does not have any creases, no ringwear and no splitting, extremely light edgewear, barely noticeable. The vinyl is in NM condition with no scratches and upon play through there are no skips on either song at all.  There is some background popping throughout the play of the record which was common for these Japan releases. The 4-page insert, lyrics, inner sleeve and two 12"12 posters are all in NM condition.
