What's The Most Valuable Record In Your Collection?

[threesunrises]

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.

Love that Orebolo - it sounds fabulous. We did see them perform at Goose's Fred Fest at Lockn Farm.

Regret not buying that Lisa Hannigan record.

Wish I had the blue La La Land

This MF Doom Christmas album has basically been the most valuable record in our collection since he died




The highest selling price is $615 but there are two for sale starting at $1300

I'm actually quite impressed that the median price of this is now matching the lowest price from two years ago. There definitely was a little bit of a vinyl bubble during covid

I would legit think about spending that sort of money for a while, and then have a stern word with myself. Perhaps I could sell my SL-27 7" and buy it

Haven't done this in a while, so here's my top 100. Some really big jumps from the last time I checked, like collector's version of DAMN that was available seemingly everywhere for so long

Are the duplicate listings where you own more than one copy

Are the duplicate listings where you own more than one copy

Yes indeed

current top 25 by median:

Update from April...

Sorted by median value.

Top 14 -

The range of what is below is $1,284.24 for the Beatles Mono Box to $122.49 for the Queen Of The Damned Soundtrack.

I don't usually see too much extreme movement in this value range - most of the movement is in the $40 to $100 range. Things shift a bit slightly, but not too aggressively. There are some new 2023 releases that should make the cut next time I upload, though.

I definitely haven’t been collecting as long as most people on here, but here’s my top ten max albums. Hard to believe some of these have sold for these prices. I definitely don’t feel like I have any grails!

Current top 40 by median. Lost Dogs is a new acquisition. Mad Season's purple River of Deceit 10" remains my most valuable single piece of vinyl.

Did you get the purple from McCready?

Did you get the purple from McCready?

I got it when they did the mystery vinyl sale on RSD about 6-7 years ago. I had no idea how rare it is when I received it. They say there are less than 100 in existence.

A day or so before the original rsd release McCready was playing on a small show in Seattle and he handed some out at the gig. What a way to get one!

Fun game. The Beatles mono box remains my most valuable entry.

These three are in my top 25; paid 50 cents for each of them.

In order of median value.
Not sure why the two NMH records aren't next to each other, as they're the same issue/price.
Those are dupes by marriage. One I acquire new at the time and the other from my now wife before we met.
