So I was adding a few records to my discogs collection today and I haven't checked in a while so I decided to sort by max value of record sold. I was a little surprised by the results. I knew one of them went for a lot at one point but to see 3 Mars Volta records take up the top 5 was kind of crazy. I'm sure @tex is full of OG library pressings but I'm curious to see what discogs says your top 5 most "valuable" records are. Just to clarify I sorted by the max amount a record has sold for not the median just to keep things spicy

If folks are not comfortable doing this is public I can move it (or have an admin move it to the private corner of our little collective)

I put the top 6, because honestly, who knows which pressing the Joy Division is. Very surprised to see Blade Runner in there, I thought that had been pretty much always in press since 2013.

I mean, fair enough, it sounds amazing.

Ha ha, whoops, that has been on my "Pick up at some point" list for years without ever investigating the price, oh well :D

Oh shit. I won't say too much here (outside of the Handmade OSTs thread, nudge nudge wink wink!) but cant help but feel I totally gamed one of your top 5, Static! :O
Sorted by minimum price. And in euros.

Yeah a certain TD release is actually no. 6 or 7 on my list.

Fun stuff everyone. This is enjoyable to look through. And even more surprises showing up.

Also, I wish I had bought the Lahaie Comp. Regrets.

@vinyljunkie : Jealous of the Evil Dead.
yeah, took me a while to track that one down but finally nabbed one a few years back for a decent price, VG+ all around

I wonder why the Beck reissues stopped. Maybe the masters burned in the Universal fire. They never went back and did Midnite Vultures or The Information.
Yeah I’m shocked about Only Lovers...very cool record that I’m glad to have but I never would have thought to keep an eye on it.

It's because it's an Audio Fidelity pressing. Pretty much anything they did was aural gold. Even their pressings of huge pop albums routinely go for north of $150 when originals might be had for less than half the cost.
