The best place to look up the value o fold records?

I used to do some moderate collecting in college. Pricing and determining the value can be somewhat deceiving when looking at vinyl. G'luck, you might find a couple rarities.

I think you'll come to find that 99.9% of what you have isn't worth anything because it is either in bad condition or isn't a rare album.

That's what I found out when I inherited my grandfather's collection of about 500 LPs. They were all in excellent condition, but not many rare ones. Most were worthless that the records stores didn't even want.

I think there is a big misconception that old records are worth a lot. I think you'll come to find that 99.9% of what you have isn't worth anything because it is either in bad condition or isn't a rare album

I started collecting vinyl albums since I was 13, and that was about 45 years ago! You have to understand most 'popular' groups produced albums in the millions and are very common, for example, albums by Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. Add to that, they really didn't put out a lot of limited edition releases. However, sometimes a record label will go bankrupt or out of business, and the original album will become valuable like Pink Floyd's first album on the old Tower label.
