Priciest record in Discogs collection, aka Dick Measuring with @YellowSnow

GrundleStiltzkin

I hadn't done much with my Discogs collection in the last year until @YellowSnow tried going Discogs superiority guy on me. I had a look at my collection values this morning and sorted by median value estimate. Kinda surprised that of what I still own, the highest median value ($94.50) is:

My Who's Next Classic Records 2005 Reissue is $94.58 Median Value. My dick is $.08 larger so far. Suck it bitch.

2007 Classic Records reissue of Quadorphenia is up to $125.00 Median Value. My cock-swain from college is a record hustler extraordinaire and finds me investment grade vinyl at way below market value.

So I have about 20 LPs in Discogs with median valley north of $50.00. 15 of 20 are reissues. Many of the reissues done in the 1990s and 2000s of classic 50s - 70s rock, jazz and classical by such labels as Analog Productions, DCC, Mobile Fidelity, Classic Records, etc, can easily fetch between $100 and $300. Reasoning is 2 fold: (1) they were pressed in very limited quantities (i.e., usually runs of 3,000 or less) and (2) can often match of surpass an original 1st pressing in sound quality. Remember - a lot of those records of that era were mastered for people with shitty turntable that couldn't handle the high notes or the bass. An engineer mastering for a modern hi-fi deck doesn't have to worry about that chit. Also, take my Mobile Fidelity reissue of Miles Daves KOB which has a $100.00 median value. An OG mint Columbia of that album from 1959 would probably be like $1,000.00 and the reissue sounds just about as good.

I have a beer can collection. It quite nice. Worthless though.

Too much Cobra imagery. Browning really ruined this serpent for me.

Can't you read skrong? $.08 bigger than Grundle. So 2.475 "

Chinteresting...so last week I bought the Analogue Productions 2012 reissue of The Door's LA Woman for $49.99 and median valley is $74.50, which is an instant profit of 52%.

So, Grumble, the vinyl chinflation in 2020 has been absolutely stupid. Case in point: back in 2014 I bought all the Beatles Mono reissues which were $22.00 retail. Great value for 180 gram pressings, cut from the original analogue tapes. They sold out pretty within a year or so and are now out of print. I was shocked at what they are fetching on Discogs now.

Album Median Discogs Value
Please Please Me $110.00
With The Beatles $55.00
Hard Day's Night $105.00
With The Beatles $49.00
Help! $100.00
Rubber Soul $62.00
Revolver $57.50
Sgt Pepper $125.00
White Album $75.00
