any record (45/LP0) record collectors?

Agree about several things-

1- Discogs

2- can be a lot of work

3- condition is king, and can be subjective

4- shipping and damage

I suppose I am a collector. Technically, if you own more than one, you have a collection.

I have about 150, mostly mid 1960's to late 1980's, rock and metal.

A few specialty, promo copy, picture disk, colored vinyl, etc.

Recently picked up a VGC to EC 1st pressing Zeppelin IV but really isn't too valuable. Paid $5.

Probably the most valuable I have are, in no particular order:

1973 Dark Side Of The Moon, with the stickers, post cards, and poster IMO VGC (can be $3500 depending on condition and pressing (in run out groove)).
Judas Priest Sad Wins Of Destiny picture disk VGC (can be $150)
Metallica Jump In The Fire EP and Creeping Death EP red vinyl original press hard to find EC (can be $100 ea)
Beatles Sgt Peppers and Magical Mystery Tour original press with multi-page booklets GC
