This record has a good number of scratches visible on the surface. They mostly appear to be Light and some are more akin to smudges than actual scratches. However, with this many visible, there is always the possibility that one or two will be more significant. Still not likely anything bad enough to cause a skip but there may be some surface noise on this record, as well as a few pops and clicks, mostly noticeable in the quiet sections and / or in between songs. G+
The gate-fold lyrics / poster insert is present but has some fairly heavy wear and even a little bit of tear. There is general wear all over from handling, but in this case it is more severe than I usually see. It is almost like Moderate level crinkles all over it. It's clear that this thing has seen some use. There are also tack holes from the poster side being displayed on a wall. The center fold line is starting to split at both ends. On one end of the line the split goes for nearly 2 inches, while the split at the other end goes for about 2 and a half. There is a tiny rip (about 2 centimeters) on one edge. Overall though, this description makes it sound worse than it actually looks. It is still decent enough to be hung on a wall. G+
The cover is in good shape still but does have a few dings. There is Light ring wear visible at the top and bottom middle of front and back. There are a number of veins visible and 3 or 4 of them are longish. (3 inches or more) They are fairly faint, however. There are a couple circular scratches in the varnish, as if someone used the cover as a brace while doodling on a piece of paper on top of it. They are only about the size of a fingertip and only visible if you look at the cover from a certain angle. The spine edge has Moderate wear leaning towards Light and portions of the title text have worn away. (see pictures) 3 corner tips have Moderate level wear leaning towards Light, while the 4th has Moderate wear leaning towards Severe and the seam at that corner is just barely starting to separate near the opening side of the shelf edge. Overall the cover still looks really good and gets a rating of G+++
Grades that I use are G-, G, G+, G++, G+++, VG, VG+, VG++, VG+++/EX, NM. I won't be describing anything as M or MINT unless it is unopened and the packaging is completely unblemished. Records that have never been played but HAVE been opened, will be described as Near Mint or NM. These are the adjectives that I use when describing damage: Very Light, Light, Moderate, Severe, Catastrophic. To describe damage in between those ranks I say things like: "Moderate leaning towards Severe," "Moderate leaning towards light," or "In between Light and Moderate"...just for example.
******************PANDEMIC DELIVERY INFORMATION**********************
At this time media mail going to NY, NJ and surrounding areas can take as long as 5 to 6 weeks to be delivered. USPS in those areas is under-staffed and overwhelmed, and media mail is their lowest priority. I have no control over this. If you live in those areas I recommend using Priority mail unless you are prepared to be patient.
