Grading
is by visual inspection only. I never rate anything as mint, that is
just the way I look at things as there might be a slight imperfection I
cannot see. Near mint is the highest I grade. I do my best to package
everything as best I can. Unfortunately small things may happen in
shipping like minor bumps to the sleeve or seam splits. Inner sleeve
seam splits are not considered defective unfortunately. That is not covered by any insurance through the shipping company. If
you would like the record taken out of the sleeve, please let me know
and I will ship it that way for you. If on the rare time the item
arrives broken, that is covered. Please send pictures if that has
happened.
