Watching Some Collectibles & Not-So-Collectibles
Let’s look at results of some of the jazz vinyl we’ve been watching.
This one made the $1,000 bin, but not the $2,000 bin: Tina Brooks, True Blue, Blue Note 4041. This was an original pressing with the record in M- condition and the cover VG+. I thought it might pass $2,000 but it sold for $1,703.77.
Is this now becoming a collectible: Thelonious Monk, Monk’s Dream, Columbia 1965? It’s a great record to be sure, but it seems to have been pretty common. Anyway, this was a 2-eye mono pressing in M- condition for the record and VG+ for the cover and it sold for $61.
And this one, I always thought was a high-end collectible, but there’s something odd about this listing: John Mehegan, A Casual Affair. In my collection, the number on this record is TJ-A1. On this listing, the number is TJ 78463. Perhaps that’s why it only sold for $64.
The first pressing of Monk’s Dream was on the six-eye label and even that usually doesn’t go for this much.
And what about that ? Insane !

This record used to be relatively expensive. But this time is for real !
The True Blue cover for me is only
in VG condition, VG++ in the description…
