Not much has changed in my top 10 since the last time I posted.
Sorted by Median value...a couple CD box sets are in there, too.
Looks like I finally went over 3000 LP's with the last few packages...
The Top 12 -
The best score of all of those was the The Sonics – Introducing The Sonics - best 4 bucks I've spent on a record. (mine isn't in the best shape to get close to these values, tho)
Can't post screen caps because they don't turn up often but it's gotta be my Tally Hall-and-adjacent stuff. Admittedly I was one of the suckers who actually paid the going rate but for how much they mean to me I don't care. At any rate someone's trying to flog Hawaii: Part II for $561 on Discogs right now. I don't suspect he'll get it, but I'm glad that the Kickstarter happened and that I was able to get it then.
Wow, I'm surprised the AudioFidelity Hounds of Love and MoFi Blood on the Tracks go for that much. I wonder if I sell the Blood on the Tracks I have now if I could afford the UHQR...
Most of the top 15 is TMR Vault sets. Historically, the Achtung Baby box has been my highest valued item, but it has really taken a nosedive in the past year.
Apparently Rihanna's Anti is my most valuable non-box set record now (median $100).. Did that go out of print or something?
Top 10 (non box set)
-------------------------------------------
1.) Rihanna - Anti
2.) Coldplay - Parachutes (B&N exclusive)
3.) Rodriguez - Searching for Sugar Man soundtrack
4.) Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks Mofi
5.) Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie
6.) My Chemical Romance - Black Parade (Hot Topic Exclusive)
7.) Queen - Night at the Opera (VMP)
8.) Ryan Adams - Love is Hell Mofi (eww)
9.) Bobs Burgers Album Box (B&N Exclusive)
10.) Albert Hammond Jr. - Yours To Keep (RSD exclusive... thanks to @Kris for picking this one up for me)
My Pearl Jam Ten Deluxe Box box set is my most valuable. I got it at a raffle at a wishlist fundraiser before a Pearl Jam show in San Diego, I think it cost me $5. Although, it restarted my vinyl collecting so it's probably cost me a lot more in retrospect.
Mine was Blond then I had to sell it for $285 (after a year of spinning it once a week), but after I got Margot and The Nuclear So and Sos Bride on The Box Car for a cool 150.....One is for sale for 237.50, but most are 350 and up to 500.
My highest single LP would be Young Thug Jefferey. I believe it goes $150 for the VMP edition on Ebay and Discogs. Although it is out of stock at the moment so I guess I could set the bar at 175!!!!!!!
I'm assuming this is my most valuable, but was surprised to find out that my original press of Let it Die by Feist is going for a median of 150 CDN on Discogs. I think I bought it at one of her shows for like 20 bucks back in the day?
Sorted by Med. value. Prices in Mexican Pesos (1 USD= 19 MXN), so dont freak out.
Its fun to see which records are close to what I paid for them, and which are pretty far.
Out of those in this image, I payed less than 2/3 for the Coltrane boxset and the 2 MM (Shorter and Mobley), and I think those are the closest ones. I payed way way less than the Discogs Med price for the rest.
Lots of records here I probably could never let go of just for nostalgia sake. Although I have been seriously considering selling off the Pinkerton box set for a MOFI edition, I never listen to any of the 3 LPs of bonus material anyways, I'd much rather have a single LP copy that probably sounds much better than the one included in the box.
I don't have my collection on Discogs but off the top, some of them might be... Gary Wilson - In The Midnight Hour 7", Jackie Shane - Live!, Phill Most Chill - All Cuts Recorded Raw Deluxe Edition, Jon Doe - Ease Back 12", probably a bunch o random rap titles I can't think of right now.
