How many LP's do you own? How long did it take?

I have about 8,000. I bought my first LP in 1962, which I still own - - so 2012 is the "Golden Anniversary" of my addiction. The collection grew relatively slowly, but steadily, through the late 60's and picked up pace throughout the 70's and early 80's. There was a hiatus of several years in the mid-80's/early 90's, when I turned to CD's, but I returned to mostly vinyl about 1998 and haven't regretted it.

I have 6000+ LP's, accumulated over 2 years.

Average cost is less than 9 cents each.

I have stopped collecting for now.

It took close to fifty years to amass over 10,000.
I am now down to about 3,000 and plan to be down to about
500 in the next year. This along with some 1000 cds are more then enough.I am afraid it was more of the hunt then anything eles.I am now cleaning and culling.As they say, you can't take it with you.

I have about 6000, mostly collected in the early 2000s after dumping my early stuff in the 80s and getting out of the hobby for a while. Started back up and went directly to vinyl. 1st 4 or 5000 were used, last 1000 are new or nearly new. I have replaced a number of classic albums with 180g or 45rpm stuff. Yeah, its expensive if I think about it, but spread over years its not too bad, maybe 2 grand a year for the last 10 years.

I would say around 3000; I started in the late 50s and got a lot of them when I lived in Chicago at places like Rose Records. Their top floor was packed with amazing deals; they have been closed for years and I still have some I haven't opened. Also got a lot when the record stores went out of business after CDs came out. I don't really think I would start a vinyl collection unless I lived where I had access to good used record stores. I bought a new LP last week: SALT FOR SALT by BROWN BIRD but I usually just open up one of the 200 or so I have never gotten around to opening. Much cheaper that way.
