I am selling my original Parrot records Red Vinyl #784 Coleman Hawkins on ebay. I can email sound bytes on request. I think it was pressed in 1953- again not a copy but the older one from the 50s-thanks

Those BN Hendersons are outta sight. Beautiful music. Another favorite is POWER TO THE PEOPLE on MILESTONE – just wonderful!

Henderson consistently hits top dollar status, I’m glad I got all of mine early before I got priced out. They’re such great records.

The question of the Prestige is how the relative quality and uniqueness of the music plays into the prices.
Many of the BNs are classics.

I have a standing sell order with my broker that when Gene Ammons starts hitting over $200, it is time to liquidate.

Rudolf:

Agree with your take. It is similar to what I have seen in unrelated markets. Buyers get priced out of certain niches and move to adjacent ones and others follow suit.

For a while I collected French Art Deco furniture because it looked cool and was relatively cheap. Pieces could be had for the price of new lookalike reproductions. Flash forward 10 years and I can’t touch the stuff.

I see a trend of Prestige going up, Blue Note stable and the Cool/Pres oriented schools depressed.
The “worn hole” on the Mobley is not a C/O hole, since on the rear nothing is noticeable. It is just minor damage, it seems to me.
I would be very happy to have a hybrid early Blue Note for the price of the Gilmore/Jordan.

For anyone who has time (I don’t), it would be interesting to go through the Jazz Record Center auction:

http://www.ebay.com/sch/jazzrecordcenter/m.html?nma=true&item=300953273036&si=bg9FyPL%252B16NFGpWEdGuQRCG5iZo%253D&orig_cvip=true&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&LH_Complete=1&rt=nc

and pointing out some of the other surprises, of which there seemed to be a few.
