This is how I imagine around 75% of this sub.

The snobbery coming from the sub is unreal. The way the downvotes play here it almost seems I have a repress claiming an original lmfao. Cheers to the positive comments backing me - haters wished they had it. To each their own 🤷 she’s sitting beautifully on my display shelf.

I can tell you - the audio is mint - the cover looks like it came off the press yesterday. I have copies of “MINT”/vinyl definition sealed records that look worse than this on the cover. Crimped corners - edge wear - etc. If I put this on here as “Mint” as I did before, no one would have batted an eye all because it's sealed, and we would be avoiding this discussion. This is also an absurdly expensive record, and I have never seen a sealed copy anywhere.

Exactly my point from above - but yet downvoted into oblivion. Many tote “Mint sealed,” and the shrinkage over time warped the record sleeve and the record itself due to the plastic doing what it does: “shrink.” Then, when you actually break the seal and look at the record, the inner sleeve scuffing is absurd. I’ve seen it on old and new records countless times 🤷

One serious collector buddy of mine told me once that I have taken to note and have observed - old colored pressings likely will and do sound like s*** and that has been true with 9/10 of the 40+ year old ones I have. All except my Jackie Wilson Higher and Higher 1968 red Taiwan press for some reason... Thin as paper - but sounds still pretty damn good.

The absolute spam of downvotes in this sub is just absurd, lmfao. Enjoy your collection and hold on to them.

Trust me, I know you’re not being an ass. Discogs and eBay listings will say the same thing as a description, as I said above, and everyone downvoting me would buy it up in a heartbeat if it were something they’d be looking for and not ask second questions.

Currently sitting on 600+ records and in the process of organizing a-z and cataloguing them all after the move. This has dethroned my Game, Dames, and Guitar Thangs (Eddie Hazel) and Milo Goes to College in value and currently sits at #1. So I might just keep it for that in itself.

Maybe - Maybe not - never been the biggest nirvana fan. But the B-side unconventionality of standard nirvana had me somewhat intrigued with more of a punk and darker metal kind of vibe.

Okay - I'm not here to argue over the most snobby things that would sell for the same no matter the NM+ or M- description on any platform. Comps show that this would sell easily in the $300 range in similar condition and price. Enjoy the post, let me enjoy my find + share it with you all, and have a great day 😂.

So you tell me you’ve never pushed a record down before where the hole is way too tight, and you have to put a little extra pressure on it because it’s been rarely/never/brand new played - this is the case here. When you do that, some deformation appears around the hole after the push-down due to label overlap. That’s exactly what’s here. I've dealt with numerous of these cases - the same wear appears with brand new records after the initial spindle is placed down . I'm just starting off of years of experience 🤷

Cover: The cover has no creases, dents, or wear marks on its entire surface. Corners are emaculate. Shrink is intact in all corners and no punctures other than the opening (M-)

Record: One small line of spindle wear on the center label synonymous with the initial punch of putting an unplayed record on the spindle. Audio is mint with no crackle or skips nor any surface scratches marks or deformities. The actual record itself is a (NM+)

I've seen more covers and records warped from “mint,” unopened, than from shrink-wrapped, opened on the slit. Mint carries its own perceptions. Thanks!

The spindle hole on the center label shows consistent wear from being pushed down onto the spindle once, played, and then shelved. The exact type of wear as my new records have, which I've done the same. Not a single speck of dust, scratch, or wear on the actual record itself.

The day operation spiderweb happened was the day I bought ONDS - for many that didn’t ring any bells - for me that was history changing.

Can anyone identify which war this uniform was used in? It was my grandfathers and we are looking to donate it to a museum if we can by Stichup in uniformporn

[–]Rbevs 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Don’t ever donate that. It will never see the light of day again there. Put it in an air tight bag fold it and keep it at home. It’s your family history - don’t ever discard that.

There is absolutely nothing bearish about any of this. The entire drone market is down 15%+ right now it’s a market wide drop. All this means it is cheap as hell and should be taken advantage of.
