I have a pretty big record collection now, with the number totaling 299... only one more until 300!!
I'm pretty sure I did a post like this a while back, so if I find it I'll be sure to link it below.
My collection has grown a lot, especially in the past two years or so. I have a journal where I write down every record I obtain, but I would fall behind adding them in. That was until I found an amazing way to keep track of my record collection, and also learn the minimum and maximum values of what I have. It's a site called Discogs, and they have made it super fast and easy to keep track of everything you have acquired over time. All you need is the Cat#, which can be found on both the vinyl itself and on the front of the album cover, both pictured below.
They don't only have LPs, so if you collect CDs, cassettes, and DVDs. No matter what you log, each item will have a minimum value, median value, and maximum value, so if you are ever looking to sell, you know the price range based on the condition of your item. Here's an example by showing you part of my collection:
Logging all of my records took me probably around 5 hours to do. Yes, it's time-consuming, but you have to make sure that you're logging the exact copy you own, that way you get an accurate value (I also took it so seriously because my boyfriend and I had a contest to see who has a collection worth more).
One of the biggest reasons why it was worth it taking so long to complete was because I found records I forgot I had. I found records that I at one point listened to almost every day. Even though I'm still young, I still felt nostalgic--like I was in high school again.
This is not a paid sponsorship! I just wanted to share my ways with all of you, especially if you are one of my longer readers. Since I just went through my list again, my next post will probably be an updated version of my favorite LPs, so check back this week for that!
