Condition report:
The collection appears to have been kept in a domestic environment and stored within protective sleeves. The outer sleeves generally range from Good to Very Good condition, showing typical signs of shelf wear including edge scuffing, corner bumping, and light creasing (photo 1). A significant surface tear is visible on the top right corner of The Simon and Garfunkel Collection sleeve (photo 4). The Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. sleeve has a retail price sticker applied to the top right (photo 18). The Frank Chacksfield LP remains in its original cellophane shrink-wrap (photo 11). The vinyl discs have not been removed for individual grading and are sold as seen; however, no major warping or deep scratches are visible from the exterior.
