Artist: The Teddy Bears Title: The Teddy Bears   Label/Number: Imperial LP 9067 (M) Jacket condition: VG Record condition: G+ Notes: This is an LP that I list occasionally as "rough but rare". The cover has some wear with some ring wear and some seam and corner wear. The top seam is split and neatly taped for its full length and the bottom seam is split and neatly taped for about 9 inches at the opening.  The labels are in pretty nice condition with a wear around the hole of the A Side. The vinyl has lost a little gloss and has lots of scratches that warrant grading it down considerably to G+. It plays well with some occasional light surface noise. There are no skips on my turntable.  Grading: Grading is usually only visual for VG+ or better items, although if time allows I may play to verify the quality of a pressing or just to hear the music. VG items are usually only listed if they are fairly hard-to-find items and are always play graded. Regardless of the grade, if I do play the LP, I note the results in the item description. I use Goldmine standards with Ebay's EX grade added for items NOT QUITE up to NM.  Please read the notes above as I try to note anything that might influence the grading one way or another. I try to be conservative and grade as though I were buying the record and hope my feedback speaks well for my grading. Mono (M) or Stereo (S) is noted after catalog number. Don't hesitate to e-mail questions.    Mailing and costs: Domestic shipping is via USPS, media mail, with delivery confirmation. I ship in cardboard mailers made specifically for records with additional cardboard pads for added protection. Shipping and handling charges are a flat $5.00 for the first record and $.50 per additional. Overseas shipping is via USPS First Class Mail International. Cost will be as calculated based upon destination. I always mail in a poly sleeve with the record outside the jacket. If there's an original inner sleeve I also remove the record from that and put it in a plain sleeve for mailing. That way, there are no seam splits on either the jacket or the sleeve due to any handling in the mail.  I'm always happy to combine shipping costs for multiple purchases.
