Hooray for honest 45 grading

[bosshoss]

Wow! I love this guy's grading which is the first time I have ever seen the grade POOR MINUS used. I also think his description is honest and funny too. More of this type of honesty in eBay grading would be great to see. Plus the starting bid of 99c goes down well for basically a souvenir disc.

I saw a Facebook post in a 45rpm sale group where one of the clowns who sell there offered a copy of the Keggs 45. It had deep scratches as if someone purposely ruined the grooves with a nail. Across the entire groove area as well. It looked similar to the photo in the Satyrs auction as seen in the above link. It played horribly, the pops and clicks were deafening.
The clown selling the Keggs graded the disc VG minus , and wanted $1500 for it. Even more inane, some other clown actually bought the 45

Plays through with one forward skip. The crack is inboard of the edge and doesn't seem to do anything. The scribble marks look ugly but only cause some light pops. There is a deeper gouge across the last 1/3 that makes some thuds and the skip, gonna get a friend to do some surgery with a microscope, hopefully will get it to play thru better.

This was a top want. I'm betting if another one even pops up in the next 5 years it won't be in the greatest shape and will still probably get high hundreds or more. I'll take a playable crack on a budget any day. If you're just buying play copies, it's the heat warps/lip warps that really get you.

Nice! Glad someone who can do something with it won it, and for $27? That’s an absolute steal.
