Can almost smell the mold emanating from that Black Sabbath album cover.

"Hey, Bill, what's this piece of shredded cardboard doing on the table?"
"Well, dear...that's my treasured copy of Neil Young's After The Gold Rush. It's his masterpiece."
"Are you sure? Looks like the entire cover's been ripped off."
"Well...hey...I've lived a tough life. My records have been through a lot, like I have." [pours whiskey]
"Wait, isn't this that album you bought on eBay last week for $50?"
"Oh...no...no, of course not, dear. That's my personal copy. It's been with me since my glory days of youth. Let me tell you about the time I hitchhiked with my buddy up to Chicago, to get that record from a friend, the week before it was released. He worked in radio, and-"
"But, if it's your copy, why does the vinyl label have someone else's name written on it?"
"Have I forgotten that I told you when we met, that I used to work for the CIA? I had to take on many identities in my dangerous line of work back then. In fact, I once garroted a man to the sound of "Oh Lonesome Me"..."
"The CIA? I had thought you were joking, like that is something someone would say as a joke. In fact, when you got me pregnant and we had to quickly plan our wedding, you had said-"
"Dear, please, this third-degree questioning is too much. I've got to go..." [leaving room]
"But what about this record, and your drink? Were you going to take a nice photo for your Facebook?"
"Ughhh....umm...yes...but I have to go, dear. FedEx has been frustratingly unreliable lately, and I have to go post about it on Steve's forum. I'm sure someone there at least will understand!" [slams door]
Et cetera, et cetera

Sleeve: G (Let's be honest: sound quality is low and the cover may be in very poor shape. We consider any item graded at or below VG- as a LOW GRADE item. We only sell albums rated VG- and above [? ? ?] unless a record is so rare that its presence in the collection transcends the poor)Vinyl: EX+ (The record will have no more than a mark if any defects in pressing can exist. Little to no wear is visible will play with very little noise(with certain pressings). May have a slight warp as all vinyl with thinner pressings. Cover will have minimum wear (ring & other)shelf included but not limited to. A grade right below NM but could rival it) He really is nuts. Buyer Feedback: Not happy at all with this purchase, the description does not match the merchandise. The cover of the vinyl album is completely fucked and very poor, looks like water damage and possibly mold on the cover.
Garbage record. Does not play through as described. Refund refused. RUDE!!! Selling dollar records at a premium. SCAM.
BEWARE OF THE CAREFULLY CROPPED PICS! THIS GUY LIKE TO SCAM YOU THEN THROWS CHILDISH INSULTS WHEN CALLED OUT - STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS!

The buyer is a jackass too for buying an AC/DC album to begin with.
I used to like a lot of early AC/DC, but if you have an FM radio, you don't need to be buying an AC/DC album.

I found this video that someone made of their destroyed 80s & 90s vinyl collection that had been in their parents' basement for many years. Someone should tell him that he can grade his water damaged covers as G to G+ and the vinyl from VG- (covered in mold and mildew) up to NM- (looks like it would actually play).
