As a collector myself, I know the frustration of receiving my vinyl damage due to lazy packing.  All vinyl will be shipped in premium LP mailers and each mailer will include 2 filler pads, one on top and one on the bottom.  All vinyl sold on here is new and never played.  There are a few LPs that have been carefully opened to confirm color variant.  Those will be notated in the description.  Also, if any of the LPs are anything less than pristine, that will also be notated in the description.
