Yes, I do know you are correct about this, Steve.  In my real area of
collecting, phonograph records, the condition of the cover on lp's is even more
important that that of the record itself, in many instances.  Partly because it
is so much more fragile and also because there were often minute differences in
the covers that greatly affect the rarity.  It is easier to locate an example of
a rare lp record, in mint condition, than it is to find the jacket in similar
condition.

I still have not yet ascertained just why I am so interested in these things
right now.

Yes, I have read the stuff on Fidelity computers at Kurt's website, but don't
know how to ask the question of the seller.  I have been thinking of how to word
it for a couple of days, now.

Thanks for the suggestions - I do appreciate them.
