[…] at $250 and failed to attract a bid. Now it is priced at $34.99. I think it will sell this time. I wrote about this record a few weeks ago. Terrific session and it usually sells for big bucks. The copy I was watching at the time fetched […]

Also dunno if it’s proper to do this here. But I have an extra copy (condition is a little off) of Dexter Daddy Plays and Taylor’s Wailers from a separate collection. If anyone is interested you can email me and I’ll send you pics and grades.

The final price on the Thad Jones was decent ($700).

Nicest auction run I’ve seen in awhile. Although I didn’t bag most of the higher end titles (e.g., the early Miles, Art Farmer Quintet, Thad Jones, Woods/Byrd …), I did score a few lesser titles as upgrades. Many of these are in such nice condition … won’t see these again for some time I bet.

nobbyknucks – I had the same feeling about the “gaps” when I was watching the listings in “real time” (pgiampi1 on Instagram here). I had actually assumed they had been purchased from you off of eBay and never listed, or that they were saved for your personal collection. It isn’t exactly an eclectic batch of jazz but the pressings are all over the place. I’ve got my fingers crossed for a few of them but I’m going to assume I won’t be scoring Taylor’s Wailers…

hey guys. appreciate it. i truly tried to undergrade these listings. the stuff is so beautiful and i didn’t want to get all crazy and start throwing NM on everything that looked remotely clean. i graded a step down on covers for a stamp.

every time i go to look at an LP if someone asks a question that isn’t listed i get nervous because i look at the LP and i am like “did i grade this right?” it is pretty much subjective but i think i did a great job. it was a grueling task.

on that note. regardless of how awesome the stash was i get this weird feeling there is more (even though there wasn’t and the daughter has yet to find any). there was no Coltrane, large gaps in label years even though the collection went through those years. no Sermon or Song for my Father which lets face it is represented in every jazz collection good or bad….

good luck to all bidding.

He got a really, really good collection indeed – nice dude, have bought from him before (via the Waxidermy connection).

I would love to get Modern Art on Intro but I believe this copy will land in the 2000$ bin …

The seller is a friend who lives ten minutes from me in Brooklyn and most of these records are really nice original pressings. He got them all from the same relative of a deceased collector a few weeks ago. Needless to say, quite the score.

The other big game title in there is Thad Jones Vol. 3:

…I’m surprised to see such a great copy of Modern Art by Art Pepper in there as well. The cover on this one is quite clean compared to mine. What a solid date for Art, and still one of my personal favorites.
