ooof when did those 2014 Mono Sgt Pepper's get so pricey?! a bit mad I slept on that thinking "it's been $25-30 since it came out, it'll still be $30 when I feel like buying it"...still will prolly acquire one sooner or later, knowing myself...
Such fun and interesting variation in the top dollar tiers of all your collections - even got some ABBA in here! I had no idea some of these records you're posting were so valuable!
According to Discogs, here's my top 25 by median value (I promise I listen to more than The Mars Volta lol I just have all their stuff, often in duplicates/every color variation)
That True Loves album won't be valuable for much longer - Colemine is repressing it this year (and I'm sure it'll sound better than this one, too). At the bottom of the list, cuz they never sold on the site, are an original GSL/Erika Records test pressing of TMV's Amputechture (there's only 8, way too many people claim to own this on Discogs) and 1 of 2 Flat 12 Beer filled King Gizzard's Polygondwanaland (see photo below). Other notable higher value items for me would be Manchester Orchestra/Thrice 12" covering Don't Speak/I Want You (She's So Heavy) respectively, Gamma Ray (QOTSA) debut 7", autographed Fontaines DC-Boys in the Better Land 7", Fiona's Idler Wheel (gotta get that 10" Sleep to Dream tho...) original press Screamin' Jay Hawkins-I Put a Spell on You is not cheap either...
Things I bought retail that I had no idea would get so pricey: Slipknot-Vol 3., Hendrix-Are You Experienced 2014 200g purple vinyl reissue...also a pair of 2003 Dark Side of the Moon 30th anniversary reissues (one being the first record I ever bought) are climbing up slowly but surely, too, it seems.
Not any sort of financially valuable but super high in sentimental value: Mint Royale - Show Me 12" single signed by John Richards of KEXP. It's the "Friday song" he plays every Friday morning. I got to have coffee and a station tour with him and he was nice enough to sign it for me
