If Trump wins I'll see you suckers in the wasteland.
WE WILL RIDE SHINY AND CHROME TO VALHALLA

Good lord. I could never imagine collecting a band that's been around that long with that many pieces. That's dedication.

A lot of people post bands that I'm either not familiar (like above) or I'm not a fan of, but I always appreciate their love, dedication, and support of the band they collect.
 
All you guys are awesome.

Not a "variant" collector, only one of each, but they are all signed! Got the last album I needed a few weeks ago, and had a meet & greet with them yesterday to get the last few I had unsigned, signed. (Sorry my camera sucks, so the quality isn't great.)
 

Welp, here's my 12" collection for Less Than Jake. This doesn't include any compilation records or side project stuff. I wasn't sure I would have the room to do this haha.
 
Come May, the collection grows by 6 since I picked up all the HR/LS represses. And will hopefully be ordering some of the Live at Astoria records soon.
 
I should have enough time in the next day or two to pull out the 7" and other miscellaneous records.
 

How about some Stranger Than Fiction singles?
 

 
 

I think it looks gorgeous

That goes really well with the new artwork. Curious to see why they changed the artwork after the first press.

I think we need this form to submit to the mods.

Those are some ugly shoes.

So you take pictures for extra income. Was this a hobby first, that turned into a second job? Do you sell them at cost? Do you ever take extra pictures to try and make extra money? 
 
Collecting records for me was a hobby first, and yes I turned this into a "second job".  It's not working in a coal mine, but it's not always easy either.  I have traveled all over the country to buy records and spent hundreds of hours waiting in lines.  It's also not a perfect formula for making money as anyone can tell you prices can go down just as easily as they go up.  Records have always been a business, how many record shops around the world are there.  If no one was making money off it then no one would be making records.  There is easier / cheaper / better ways out there to get your music to your fans.
 
Since you collected cards too, if you opened up a pack of cards, and inside you found a card that was worth $200 but it was something you already had or didn't want.  Would you just keep it?  Would you sell / trade it?  If you did sell/trade it, did you do that for the cost of the $1 pack or did you try to get the Beckett price on it?  Of course the pack could be cards you wanted or you could have got cards that were all now worth less than the cost of the original pack.  There is no guarantee that what you bought will be worth more or less later.....do you get at all what I am saying here?

yeah but... everybody has bills and everybody has to budget their hobbies. i work full time, but i also work a second job as a photographer which is very physical and very time consuming. most people who need extra funds get a second job. you're not the first person to have a baby.
 
selling your records isn't the problem, and the fact that you don't hide it isn't the problem (i dont understand why this is always brought up). its the marking it up so you don't have to do anything else to make money that's the problem. you're taking part in making the hobby a business which isn't cool. regardless of you growing up in a card shop. i used to collect cards too and i'm not trying to make a 200% profit on my rare records and i don't buy more than 1 with intent to sell at a higher price.
 
your excuses are the worst call for first world problems i think ive ever seen

.

It's done. I got the test press from the bassist Nick. 2 rejected TPs of My Oldest Friend and the HM collection is done. Oh Man.

Yeah, that's why you give him your money for a Nickelodeon record. Fuck mainstream music, I'm listening to Doug song covers. Nothing says anti-establishment like Rugrats.

Got For Today - "Ekklesia" (translucent red limited to #200) off my list a while ago... but stumbled on this today:
 
Black Iris - "Welcome To Bright Falls"
 

 
Soundtrack for a web series promotion for the Alan Wake Xbox 360 video game. Super, super, super limited (was able to find info only on 6 copies?) and apparently given away, kind of a similar situation to the "Life Is Strange" LP. Wish I knew about this sooner as AW is one of my all time favorite games.

BETTER CALL SAUL: Original Television Soundtrack, Season 1 LP “Desert Sky Blue” vinyl will be available exclusively at SPACELAB9.com in an extremely limited edition. As a bonus, the SL9 webstore exclusive also includes a reproduction of Jimmy McGill’s law diploma from the fictitious “University of American Samoa”, available while supplies last. Pre-sale date TBA soon

 

This is someone's Valentine's gift to the board, yes?

Nah, you're the one reporting people for the slightest insult you feel directed toward you and getting threads locked.

Then get the hell out of the thread.  
 
 
  But when will a third press be? It could be a long time and will a big label even bother to acknowledge that the second batch had a issues?

you probably say that as a joke but I'm sure you're actually like that
