I don't know why that pressing got so pricey either, but, if memory serves, it happened quick. I remember seeing prices soar pretty early on.

Just add up the current median value of the rest of our Mondo, WWR, DWRC, and OWS LPs and you'll come right back down to Earth with me.

Now let's go buy some Bed Bath & Beyond shares!

VJ, you have an OG Blue Note Out To Lunch? That's about as cool as it gets.
Yeah, I came across a pretty beat up copy years ago that I got fairly cheaply (the cover is probably G+) but the record is VG+ and it sings!!! If I had unlimited expendable income collecting OG Blue Notes would be number one aim!

Agreed, but I don't think the cover art has helped it out here.
No doubt :S
I mean it's a pretty cool illustration but not really gonna go grab customers other than people already interested in that small movie and relatively unknown composer. Actually, I bought it because it was on Deathwaltz. I wouldn't have known about it otherwise, pretty sure.

Top records by median, which I've put on discogs. Predictably a bunch of Japanese and libary records.
Have to say these prices can be really misleading for example the box set at the top of my list is not worth anything near that much.
I really try not to think about how much this or that record is worth.

I don't have my collection on DC, but off the top of my head based on last time I saw prices for them and in the condition that I have them, I'd guess that these would be some of be mine:

ANDROMEDA STRAIN (Kapp 10" Hexagonal)
EVIL DEAD (Varese)
NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (Varese)
KLUTE (WB/Unofficial)
COUPE DE VILLES LP
CHRYSTA BELL - THIS TRAIN
ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE

I think on the whole, the Carpenter originals wing of my collection is pretty tasty and I wouldn't like to have to replace it!

I just ordered the repress of that native North American collection

Also the orange Halloween from Mondo is worth that much? Good. To. Know.

Uh, oops
Exhibit A.
Wait so my three copies of “in the wall” I bought on RSD however many years ago looking for that golden ticket (which I don’t think ever showed up) wasn’t a good investment?

Yeah watching this thread I thought “is this something I should be doing” but even now I just don’t have that kind of time. I did it for my old account that I deleted when I was buying too much, but my current account is for buying only...for now.

Also there’s quite a few varese Evil Deads in this crowd and one day I’m gonna join you.

Wow, this was a really surprising exercise.
I ended up having to filter down to just “stage and screen.” I have a lot of OG UK Beatles and Kinks that just wrecked the max lists (plus I have a lot of 80s-90s punk/alternative and some of that stuff is starting to sell for bonkers money now).
