Shark, I am trying to absorb and complete the novel that is your thread. Man that is some good stuff in there and thanks for getting that kinda talk started.

I have already pegged some of the posters as very knowledgeable "Stereo" guys. Also some younger guys who know there stuff about the new music, recordings, extras, etc.

Which posters do you consider "Collectors"? Who would know specific things that make records more valuable than another?

For instance: "How can you tell if an album is a 1st Pressing?"

It will vary for pretty much every record. You can use actual books like the Goldmine guides to help you narrow it down, but websites like Discogs.com and popsike.com will give you more specific clues and information. You can also see a decent market approximation of the record.

Marco Esquandolas knows his stuff real well and is quite the collector. I don't have any collector's albums myself, but would like to one day. I need to update my OP in that thread. I have added a lot of records since then. I still don't have a ton, maybe 200 or so.
