The great Coltrane stuff other than ALS tops out around 100, but the later period Pharoahs routinely break 200. Both are amazing, but it does seem lopsided.

That Blues and Abstract Truth should be worth several hundred dollars. I just listened to my pristine mono first press. Some collectors of Impulse label may prefer the stereo edition. I have a later red and black label stereo version and it sounds great. Not as ‘hot’ sounding on the tenor sax solos such as on A2 track .
Those Blue Notes you mention you sold must all be monos at those prices? I had to pay over $400 well before the pandemic for a NM liberty 1960’s mono of Cool Struttin but it sounds great!
