Description
This is John, Paul, George and Ringo, The Beatles, singing their two-sided hits "Matchbox" (# 17 in 1964) and "Slow Down" (# 25 in 1964) on Capitol 5255. This Beatles record looks VG++ with minor surface markings but plays in MINT condition with no audio defects and comes in a Capitol Records company sleeve. There are two picture sleeves. The picture sleeve with the song titles in black was issued by Capitol Records and is VG++ with minor overall wear but no seam splits or writing on the sleeve. The picture sleeve with the song titles in white is a custom sleeve that was available over the internet during the early 2000's. All of this comes in a clear, resealable, poly-vinyl protective sleeve with a cardboard backer separating the record from the picture sleeves.
U.S. postage and handling is $4.75 on this item. International customers should email me first for a shipping quote.
I grade in direct sunlight or under a high-intensity lamp to assure the most accurate grading possible. However, you have my unconditional guarantee that I will take the records back if you think that the records are not as stated. My reputation is what has kept me in business for 45 years.
If you win multiple auctions, I will combine packaging to save you as much postage as possible. I ship with sturdy cardboard packaging to protect your records. Please review my feedback from previously satisfied customers. I have been buying and selling records for 45 years now and as of February 2024 I am celebrating 25 years on eBay.
Definitions:
Mint = 10 = Just like it came from the factory. May still be factory sealed. These will generally be priced close to collector value.
NM = 9 = Near Mint = Very minor surface markings that do not interfere with the audio playback. These will generally be priced at 80% to 90% of collector value.
VG++ = 7.5 = Very Good++ = The surface markings are more noticeable and may or may not affect the audio playback. Sometimes a record can look VG++ but still play in NM condition. These will generally be priced at 60% to 75% of collector value.
VG+ = 5 = Very Good+ = Now the surface markings are quite noticeable and they will generally be heard during audio playback. These will generally be priced at 40% to 50% of collector value.
Generally, I will not list records below VG+ unless it is a rare record of importance to collectors.
