salparadise Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I was looking through my photobucket for something, and came across a picture of my records from the Summer of 2006. And it was so tiny back then, granted comparatively to other posters, I'm sure what I've got is measly. But this might be fun. Post pictures (dates too, if possible or at least time span) to show how much your collection has grown.

monk0nuggets Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I don't have pictures, but I can tell you since July, my collection has grown a hell of a lot compared to what I had before that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Mine has gone up greatly this year. Have been buying records since 2003 or so, but never really got into it until earlier this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salparadise Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 I've been buying "punk" records since late 03. I didn't get into collecting too much til 04/05, just prefered records to cds and never had money for either. I'm just so shocked at the growth from one crate, to two crates, to three crates, to a monster shelf in a little over a year. I can't wait to have walls and walls and walls of records.

jhulud Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Is this thread going to become a pissing contest for who's got the biggest collection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk0nuggets Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I've got about 2 crates worth, but before July I only had about 10 records. I had bought a few randomly over the past 5 years, but once I found this place my wallet was immediately emptied. I as well have dreamed of having my own music library since I was really young. I just realized I liked vinyl more than CDs after I had tons and tons of CDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how quickly drama elevates here. I'm just hoping to see visual representation of how quick people go bankrupt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just realized I liked vinyl more than CDs after I had tons and tons of CDs. God, I was a little bitch about my cds, back in the day. I counted them every single day, had them in alphabetical/chronological order, much like I have my records, but I mean I was hysterical about my cds. It was stupid. I only had like 300, but I had nothing else to be insane about at that time. I have less than 50 cds now,and I am cutting way the fuck down. I haven't even bothered to look at the store on here too much, because I know that too many cheap records will add up and I'll be in overdraft city for a year.

patron Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I've wanted to start collecting records since I was in grade 7. Here I am, in grade 12 and I think I've got a decent sized collection. I've only been buying them for about 6 months, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Compared to other boards, there is little drama here...so far... All I will say is that I have been listening and collecting vinyl since '88/'89 or so...not a very large collection (as I am very particular about the bands I collect) when compared to some others' here...but I will confirm that every since joining VC I have dropped some major bank on new and old vinyl...being here pretty re-sparked the passion in the hobby...

I've grown alot but i'd love to see osme bigger collectors pictures from beginning to end i thought it might be a fun thing. I really just love seeing floor to ceiling wall to wall stack crate upon crate upon crate of records everywhere, it drives me insane and makes me want to buy more and stop caring about absolutely everything else.
