Speaking (or typing) as someone who has written and researched lot and not been paid for much of it, $45 is a bargain.

I think they are some great records but also pretty funny that there are like 4 types of nm in his grading system

I am not maligning Fred when I say that the book is too expensive. I’m saying that to bind a single book of 200 pages for a thesis costs about $10 and I imagine mass production only goes down from there.

Fred indeed put a lot of work into the book but it was to run a business, not to write the book.

He made a great resource and I love the resource, but find the price too high. That’s all.

Also, I am watching some of the great NM auction of 2015 and I noticed lots of NM grades as well. Also, NM+? What on earth is that?

Well to be fair the seller only graded the vinyl not the cover itself. I would call those covers VG+ or perhaps VG++ if you’re in to that kind of thing.

Indeed Aaron… And here’s the philosophical question of the night : does a strong and clean BUT overall yellowed/foxed cover can still be considered as mint ?

Don’t know…but i’d like to have this Ray Bryant Trio on my shelves one day…and Webster Youg, too…yellowed ot not.

That seller does have some amazing records but it makes me a little skeptical when every 50+ year old record I clicked on is graded NM.
