Woodstock MFSL 5-200 5 x LP (Vinyl) Limited Edition Slipcase set Factory-Sealed

$

Thank you for viewing my auction.

UPDATED INFORMATION (10/23/22):

   This box set is a cutout. Mobile Fidelity sold these box sets, each with a punch hole, at a deep discount through third party distributors once the MFSL contract with Atlantic expired.
   All the cutouts are missing the numbered stickers. Mobile Fidelity removed the stickers before drilling the holes and shipping them to the cutout distributor.
   This box set cutout is not a counterfeit. It is genuine; exactly the way Mobile Fidelity shipped it.
   My many thanks, for this information, to another eBay member: C.E. [You know who you are].

IMPORTANT: I will accept a return (please contact me first) within 48 hours of delivery. That time frame will give you plenty of time to examine the item and, if necessary, to sleep on your decision.  Before your bid, I hope you will have asked me questions and asked for more photos if you have concerns about this item.

     I purchased this factory-sealed slipcase set in the mid-1990s. It has been in storage, since that time, in a non-smoking home, protected in a box, and safely inside a closet that receives no direct sunlight. What you see in the photos is how I bought it.
    
     This is indeed a factory-sealed 5 x LP slipcase set; it is not a re-seal. You can easily see two breath holes: one breath hole - front, lower left quadrant and one breath hole - rear, lower right quadrant. I am unaware (and I have never seen) this item factory-sealed in a loose perforation-tear baggy.

     There is no limited-edition sticker attached to the factory-sealed shrink wrap or factory issued slipcase.

     There is damage to the shrink wrap, especially to the back side shrink wrap. The back side shrink-wrap was taped at one time - and not a very good job at that. You will see other scuffs and small tears on the four sides (Photos 7 - 10). That is why I grade this shrink wrap VG.
     The factory-sealed slipcase has numerous scuffs at the right and left bottom/base “spine”; and no cuts, no creases, no dings, not faded, one cutout hole, no seam-splits, no stains, no tears, no writing. That is why I grade this slipcase VG.

     All contents are contained in a sturdy paper stock factory-sealed slipcase.
     All contents inside are presumed to be mint (M).
     All contents inside are accurately recreated (facsimile) from the original vinyl LPs: album covers, artwork, liner notes and photos.

     All photos taken with a smart phone at 12.0 megapixel power. Any shiny areas you see on these 10 photos are reflections only.

Photo 1 allows you to see the condition of the factory-seal and the slipcase (front). Notice the breath-hole at the lower left quadrant.
This first photo also shows you two self-written adhesive stickers (already applied by the seller, when I bought this item). The stickers are adhered to the shrink wrap.
Photo 2 has a closer view of the breath-hole (front, lower left quadrant).

Photo 3 allows you to see the condition of the factory-seal and the slipcase (back). Notice the breath-hole at the lower right quadrant; the "damage" to the shrink wrap (at the non-opening side); and the cutout hole (size: 1/8th inch length). I purchased this factory sealed slipcase with the cutout hole already there.
Photo 4 has a closer view of the breath-hole (back, lower right quadrant).
Photo 5 has a closer view of the "damage" to the shrink wrap (at the non-opening side).
Photo 6 has a closer view of the cutout hole.
It is black in the photo because no light is shining directly into it. I very carefully inserted a pin into the hole and it stopped at (I suspect) the cover of the first album. The depth of the hole is 3/8th inch, at an angle to the flat surface.

Photos 7 - 10 allows you to see the condition of the factory-seal shrink wrap and /slipcase sides (all four); starting with the spine and viewing in a counter-clockwise direction. When viewing each of these photos, you will be viewing from the back toward the front of the slipcase.
