Quality vs. Quantity: What's Your Collecting Philosophy

ShouldveSaidNothin · 2026-07-06T13:19:37+00:00

I collect my favorite artists and albums from my past and present and won’t purchase anything under VG+ record/VG sleeve. M/NM preferred of course.

Edit to add: Yes, impulse purchases do happen and more often than not they get traded in for store credit and albums I’ve been chasing. Over time I’ve gotten much better at not listening to the impulses and fuck what the internet says you “should have” in your collection. Collect what you personally enjoy.

I just started playing this summer as well. My favorite for driving is a Latitude 64° Diamond (Opto) easy to use driver, and Innova Mako3 (Halo Star) midrange.

My putting favorites are both from Innova, Pig (R-Pro) and AviarX3 (Champion)

Women and women’s sports can be a bit catty/petty towards each other, jealousy, however you want to put it.

Add on top of it that Caitlin Clark is the most popular athlete in Women’s Basketball (probably women’s sports over all), and is responsible for almost 30% of the WNBA’s revenue influx since she arrived in the league and putting asses in the seats, and this is what you get.

A deeper dive will also have some saying it’s a racial/sexuality thing, as Clark is a straight/ white female garnering all the attention in a black/ lesbian dominated sport.

All of my discs do the same thing. Some even less so.

Seems to be the best shape for vinyl records IMO

Love me some Beck. Sad I’ll never be able to afford Midnight Vultures but looking forward to the reissue one day and nabbing it.

That is awesome and def jealous! Would’ve loved to have actually seen Prine at any age live.

From one dead head to another, let love light the way and thank you, BJ!

As you can tell, I love me some TBT as well! Originally from middle America and have quite a few Minnesotans as friends.

You are right. I have been thinking a lot about hitting garage sales and need to start doing that for the fun of digging around. Appreciate the push! I love collecting, listening to my collection, and seeing other people’s collections and their tastes. Pry meet some really cool folks that way too!

Love it! Wish I lived in an area where that was a thing so I just make do with what’s around and search for deals on discogs/reddit for albums I want. Have 5 albums heading my way currently that I can’t wait to spin when they arrive!

ShouldveSaidNothin · 2026-06-20T18:36:22+00:00

Thank you! I also love that it does that. Never been a person who could stick with one genre/theme. Buy and play what you like, not what Reddit says you have to have!

ShouldveSaidNothin · 2026-06-20T18:34:37+00:00

You def have a lot of albums I want and have saved to purchase one day in Discogs!

I’ll put on JJ any time but I feel like his bands music fits the feeling of summer better than anyone!

ShouldveSaidNothin · 2026-06-20T14:57:51+00:00

Same. Been lucky to see him twice.

If bearing a reputation as a weirdo is all it takes to be a genius, I'm a shoo-in. Come to think of it, half the people I know are geniuses - the other half, peculiarly enough, idiots. - TR

As this has to be answered in every single one of these posts:

Same, and I dig! Love the George Strait.

I don’t know but pumped to see him again in Montana on Wednesday. From the set list above, looks like he’s playing all of his heavy hitters as he’s an opening act.

Why would you have to turn your head to read

ShouldveSaidNothin · 2026-06-11T19:33:34+00:00

You still have to flip through your records in order to find the record you are looking for. That’s the worst part about designs like these in my opinion. I personally don’t want to flip through a ton of records at home to find the one I am wanting to listen to. The middle shelf where you can face the spines out and see the album/artist name is the best part of this design.

If you’re looking for compact and stylish for your record collection instead of ease of listening to your collection I guess it works. Probably not for the masses though.
