For a collector of radio history or 1950s rock, it belongs alongside thematic comps and discs that document listening practices, not just hits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"888\" data-end=\"1017\"\u003ePrice Suggestions (based on recent eBay \/ Gripsweat listings, local U.S.):\u003cbr data-start=\"962\" data-end=\"965\"\u003eNM: $14–$22\u003cbr data-start=\"976\" data-end=\"979\"\u003eVG+: $10–$16\u003cbr data-start=\"991\" data-end=\"994\"\u003eVG: $6–$12\u003cbr data-start=\"1004\" data-end=\"1007\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eG: $3–$8\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1019\" data-end=\"1114\"\u003e(Recent “used” listing: $12.99 for a copy of INCM-2003) \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\" data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ebay.com\/itm\/115790314617?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" rel=\"noopener\" alt=\"https:\/\/www.ebay.com\/itm\/115790314617?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" class=\"flex h-4.5 overflow-hidden rounded-xl px-2 text-[9px] font-medium transition-colors duration-150 ease-in-out text-token-text-secondary! bg-[#F4F4F4]! dark:bg-[#303030]!\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative start-0 bottom-0 flex h-full w-full items-center\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"flex h-4 w-full items-center justify-between overflow-hidden\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"max-w-[15ch] grow truncate overflow-hidden text-center\"\u003eebay.com\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1116\" data-end=\"1123\"\u003e9\/27\/25sc \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Power Plant Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057485791419,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0095\/4204\/1658\/files\/R-11995656-1563233436-7909_62e20d1a-3859-48f8-821a-e30db96cb555.jpg?v=1759022451","url":"https:\/\/powerplantrecords.com\/products\/cruisin-1958","provider":"Power Plant Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
