Monk with Warhol Cover Sells for $843
Feb 25, 2009 Album Covers, Jazz Vinyl, Jazz Vinyl on eBay, Prestige
We had expected this record to sell for more than $1,000, but it didn’t: Thelonious Monk, Prestige 7053. This was a promo copy with the Andy Warhol cover and the New York label. The record was in VG+ or VG++ condition and the cover was VG++. The price was $843. A few weeks ago a copy of this record in VG condition sold for more than $2,000. Perhaps, as we mentioned before, things are softening a bit. Is the economy starting to affect the market for high-end jazz collectibles?

I wonder what the “happy” 2000 $ + bidder of the last week VG copy is thinking at this moment…

…that he could have bought 2 for the price he paid?

Two and three quarters.
