Will the technology just become obsolete one day, and the music too easily accessible elsewhere? It's not like collecting baseball cards or comic books, because it relies on a speciffic technology to reproduce it. Are we all doomed?
Will records become worthless

Well, at least Brazilian, Portuguese, and Angolan thunderdomers.

People collect coins they can't spend and stamps that can't be used for postage and cars that can't be driven. Lots of people now collect sealed records they have no intention of ever playing.
I don't think utility is determinative.

Yeah, they will go the way of the pog.
Actually, they may be the only media that survives the technology crash (if there ever is one). Records and wind up chimes.
all you need is a needle and a coconut to get the music kickin'.

With stamps and coins you basically enjoy all their esthetic value by looking at them and holding them, etc. With a record you need to play it in order to completely enjoy it. But I do agree with you in respect to the collectible aspect of something purely for the purpose of having it. Possessing it. In that respect it doesn't matter that the coin cant be spent and the stamp never mailed.

Another example would be all the people who collect comics encased in hard plastic. Those can't be completely enjoyed except at the risk of lessening their value, but they're still partially enjoyable due to the covers. Enjoyment isn't determinative, either.
If I couldn't play my records anymore I'd get rid of them quickly. (I don't have any sealed records, either.) Maybe I'm not a pure collector, though.

No way, there will always be people who are into this stuff. I have old cars, too. They get harder to find ( like original sealed albums), they may be eclipsed by modern auto technology (like records), and the general public may lose interest (like vinyl), There will always be collectors (diggers) who will stash and trade original parts (like 1st pressings) or remanufacture parts (represses) if they just have to have something. get it? The people who are into this shit will always be into it, regardless of value, BUT that interest of other enthusiasts will keep shit valuable. does that make sense

In a post apocalyptic world records will become the currency. As even without power records will be played by very simple means.
