What's The Most Valuable Record In Your Collection?

Top 70 by Median because that's what I can fit on the screen
Not a huge amount of change overall. There are some false dreams on there - Bleachers' MTV Unplugged got a tour repress, the Funkadelic copy is a pretty gnarly copy, etc.
On The Rise;
Brandi Carlile's The Story and Give Up The Ghost - Way too small represses and a rapidly growing fanbase.
Bonnie Raitt's Luck of the Draw - the DCC version is immaculate and people are realizing it
Girl Talk's Feed the Animals and All Day - those represses/open pre-orders are taking a while.
She and Him's Christmas Party - but yes keep reissuing the first one.
The Mowgli's Waiting for the Dawn - a 2010s indie pop gem that people are slowly starting to find and pay for
The Hunger Games OST - I said it in the other thread but I suspect it's a lot of nostalgic early 20 somethings with cash and a vinyl finding
New Adds in the Past Six Months:
Rilo Kiley's Under the Blacklight (paid a bit under median for that, it needs a reissue and really pops on wax)
Julie Ruin S/T - had to for the price it was listed at
Natlaie Merchant's Tigetlily - the hype was justified and it's re-climbing up
Blind Pearly Brown - Georgia Street Singer - not entirely sure it's my thing but the price was really good and I'm trying to give it a real run
Fuel - Sunburn - this and a Boy Named Goo were both nostalgia pickups for cheap used prices and then I choked on my drink when I saw what they go for.
Metric - Formentera is new and signed which, you know...return to form
Twin Flames Radio was a signed cover for $20 so I went for it
Janelle Monae's Metropolis - Paid just short of median for it but man is that a tricky get

Got to love that $53k swing between the two.

In reality, I'm sure the Godzilla box is worth the most. I used the default listing, but it's actually 1 of 5 copies that have the foil "Mechagodzilla" box. My wife won it from Waxworks on Instagram
I stumbled across this Death Grips packing slip the other day. In retrospect, I clearly should have bought 10 of these things. The receipt is dated September 19, 2011, which means I had a 12 day old baby when I ordered it. It's ironic how, at the time, buying that record probably felt reckless when, in reality, it would have been the smartest financial investment I could have made.

It's been since the end of May since I posted an update. I took some time off as not much was changing.
Sorted by median value...
Still no major movements, but the Rush reissues still seem to be doing well and moving up a bit.
One 2022 release that is new to the list (that isn't an expensive box set anyway)
Disturbed - Divisive (w/ alternate cover art)
I suppose I should play it soon.
I also see St. Anger making a move to the list - that's somewhat surprising.
Top 13...

Yeah, it sure looks fishy to me too.

My top 40 by median. The 10" Mad Season - River of Deceit comes in at number 7, and is the first that is a single piece of vinyl.

Been a while since I've done this. Here's my median value sort. It's always funny to see box sets and special edition stuff interspersed with lowly old 45's.
*I don't have the AP Grateful Dead Reckoning - that entry is a place holder for the copy I have which is a breakout of the VMP anthology set.

It’s been a while since I posted here. I’ve sold several items in my top few rows recently, and, today, picked up both Nathan Davis titles that slotted into the 2nd row.

Last updated in January - I have slowed down with purchases so far this Winter/Spring -
Top 14 -
Nothing all that new has entered the top - Metallica swapped spots with Ænima compared to January - but a lot of Ænima counterfeits are out there - and people are willing to buy them.
I wish Discogs would allow releases to be in more than one folder - that way I could filter out box sets.

My top 12. Only new addition is the Alice in Chains 30th anniversary Dirt box set. Agreed, I'd like to filter out box sets.
Was in some hibernation on the collection, so not a ton of movement but some interesting adds/changes
New Entries:
#3: Orebolo: Volume 1 - This will settle I assume, just came in and people who missed the open pre-order had their regret buys. Nice 2 LP acoustic jamming...honestly prefer it to Goose but don't tell Goose fans. I can't imagine that holds up in the short term but Goose limited run vinyl is nuts.
#6 Elvis Presley S/T - Probably my best recent find. Not ideal conditioning but press for a 1st press was nuts.
#7 Blonde - OK y'all were right on the pricing. I think I'll eventually sell it, I just don't love the music as much as many do.
#26 - Sea Sew - List Hannigan - Probably my second best recent find. The local Bull Moose finally began pricing vinyl to marketish, so finds are limited to items in their system under the ancient pre-owned prices or misses...not sure which one this was but it was welcome. Great little album
#29 - Little Willies S/T - I paid market for this. I have no regrets. Fantastic classic country homage from Norah.
#31 - Let It Be Deluxe - Given this is like $40 retail this will disappear from the list shortly.
#48 - La La Land (Blue) - Just picked this up as Bull Moose priced it as the black. Sleeve damage but a worthy trade off.
Some false listings in terms of real value - Froot just got a repress, Let It Be is in the discount bin, The Story had a recent repress, etc. There's a decent number of titles that should absolutely be up there but haven't sold enough copies to do, but this is roughly accurate.
