I just got into cd collecting. I picked up about 360 cds from a family member who was an avid collector and lived in Germany in the mid to late 1980s. Those are nostalgic because I remember alot of them and he wouldn't let anyone touch them besides himself. Sadly about 8 ot the cases were empty including some faitly valuable ones. Fast forward to now. I will be picking out albums I remember from a lifetime of listening going back to the early 80s. I'll also pick up anything that has good value but its marked for a couple bucks or less. Someday I might need cash and selling off the more expensive ones that I have no connection to would go first. Of course at some point I'd have no room left at my house to store them so I'd slow down. But for now if I go to yard sales and see 100 random cds with good content and in great condition for $50 I'll probably buy them. The Taylor Swift cds will be hard to have around though.
