Blue Note reissues as an investment?



What are your thoughts about the investment potential of the Music Matters' numbered limited edition releases versus the unnumbered limited edition copies? How about the Analogue Productions limited edition numbered Blue Notes?

(Some will be outraged, no doubt, about people buying these with the intent to sell on ebay in the future but that's a different issue. Frankly, I have no problem with it; People buy art, real estate, etc as investments and this is no different.)

I just ordered the Music Matters' subscription but plan to listen to all of them and sell only what I don't like. That said, I hope I love them all. If I had the money (I don't) perhaps I would buy two sets and keep one as an investment.

BTW, Elusive Disc just announced they have more subscriptions available in case you thought you missed out.

The value of collectibles is hard to predict. One day you're sitting on a gold mine, the next day you can't give the stuff away.

I think your plan is pretty low risk, but if you really want to maximize the possible upside of your investment you should buy a complete set of the LPs, leave them unopened and resell them as a complete set.

On the downside, I don't think that vinyl will continue to be considered to be the best audio format indefinitely. I believe that a high-res digital format will come along one day that will improve on the sound of all the formats that are available today.
