Needles & Grooves

Define sealed copy freaks

I am the opposite of a sealed freak lol

"Sealed Mint in Box", lol................no, no, no, the beauty of this hobby is found in the grooves of the albums.

@AnthonyI “I want to frame all my favorite albums on the wall!”

I keep everything I buy sealed. It makes using things like a can opener, vacuum, the gallons upon gallons of milk I've hoarded very difficult to use but I get by.

Use the sealed copy for Instagram photos and put an old used dollar record on with the volume down whilst listening to the mp3 of sealed album! You don’t do this?? You’ll scratch your records! Smh

I am not, I have a canned Discog note I send out to every seller after purchasing requesting that event if LP is sealed to open and ship it.

I did meet one during the last RSD. The guy was the only guy in front of me in line he didn’t even own a turntable but stated he had hundreds of sealed LPs. Pretty wild. I guess it’s like collecting baseball cards, big expensive baseballs.

Baseball cards don't really have an added purpose outside of looking at 'em. I'd say it'd be like collecting Pokemon or MTG cards but never actually playing the game they're made for.
