What is the condition of your 45 collection? I would say mine is vg to vg+. All my rare 45's are more vg, because i don't wanna pay mint prices.
Your 45 collection
- Thread starter analog_tape
- Start date
if its good and it plays with out skipping or a lot of background noise, Im cool with it...it can look like it was used to play ultimate frisbee on a gravel road, but if it plays nicely, I dont care.
It seems recently that the price difference between an NM and a VG copy of a sought-after 45 is hardly anything these days.
If a NM copy goes for $500, a VG will sell for $450.

I love 45s more than any other format.
Mine are between G+ and Minty. I need more of them in my life.

Love-hate relationship with the 45.
They are so beautiful, but so horrible to flick through. There's so little info on them but the labels are so pretty.
People selfishly write their goddamn boring-ass names on them, and often there's not even a year printed on them.
But when you find the only worthwhile track of an album on 7 you could be tempted into believing there is a God.
European ones with high quality paper pic sleeves are a special favourite.

I'd say i have maybe 2000 odd 7"s at vg-nm, i have a box of ones below that quality.
Weirdly, since becoming a Microwave dj i will now just wait for a mint or near mint to come up before buying rather than get a vg. Before i used to get so amped up if i found out about a new tune i would just get whatever i could at the time.

I love 45's -but god people treat them like crap! most of mine look like someone dragged them behind a car - but I have a few minty ones i'm almost afraid to play.
i have a couple big ticket minty soul ones
and very diverse african,latin that are vg for the most part
the only problem is i have a tower of quebec 45'S to listen to
i've found great stuff but the task is daunting because of the format
45 chud navigating is easier on LP

It varies, which is what you would expect when you buy them from different places at different times in any random condition.
any reason(s) in particular why this was big in Europe but doesn't really seem to have ever been a thing in Uhmerrica?
