I.m with Siddh on this. I don,t care how rare or sealed or not. I buy em to play and listen to them, period. Mapman's point is right on with "shrink wrap" and its effect over time and the risk of warped lp's. As Elizabeth pointed out , I myself have bought hundreds of lp's unsealed that don,t appear to of ever been played. The collectable status thing is in my opinion out of control, but as long as there are those that will and can afford to pay the prices for 12 x 12 wall art we music buyers will indefinately pay increases for good used copies. Cheers
Veracity of albums for sale being "sealed"?
Just wanted your opinions on whether or not the high prices of collectable albums should be so much higher for sealed versus unsealed albums. Could some of these be recently sealed after having been used, by a person with access to a wrapping machine? And how would the prosepctive buyer know? Thanks.
