Not much more then a year ago I got a “ear” mono copy of “blue and sentimental” in NM condition as a buy it now on eBay for $35! And my cover looks better then the one featured here…

Hey Al – based on the corner bump, which also looks like a minor split and the paper tear from the price tag, I’d actually bump this down to a VG+ cover. I know that it’s nice and shiny, but those flaws make a difference. I still have the 2nd Message with a NM for the record and VG++ (strong) for the cover available for any takers!!!

Al, that is exactly what I meant to imply: creating an undeserved status.

Hmm, the cover’s nice enough, but it could not be described as near mint by any standard, unless Prestige released their LPs with pre-worn covers.

Rudolf, thank you for pointing out the notice in the listing that the seller describes himself as a “contributor” to Jazz Collector. By that, it must mean that he posts comments on the site, which anyone in the world can do. A little deceptive, wouldn’t you agree?

The seller of the Mobley, with all his supposed contributions to the various collecting forums, should know what NM covers look like. This makes me skeptical of the vinyl too…

I said ‘interesting seller ‘, but did not notice the rest of the text There we have manusardi from Germany. I have the experience of several borderline gradings (he covers himself by saying that all gradings are subjective). I decided not to trade anymore with this seller, too risky.
JC ‘s contributor selling the Mobley on Prestige adheres to the global shipping programme. At the actual bidding, the import dues to France stand at 154 dollars. There is no way seller and buyer can escape. Ebay will invoice and cash in. Whether they will in the end pay to French customs is an open question. I don’t understand sellers who limit themselves unnecessarily.

Interesting seller, claims to be contributor to JC and LJC.
