This statement is misleading.
The statistic of dollar amount of LP’s exceeding CD can be explained by higher pricing of LP’s per unit. Vinyl can be more than 2x the price of a CD.
How is it misleading? I just stated what each format shipped in units and dollars.
It is inevitable that units of LP will overtake CD.
Yes it is, maybe by the end of this year. But that percentage change year over year for vinyl units shipped isn’t too far from going negative.
Amount of CDs sold most likely doesn’t include used CDs sale.
No, it doesn’t. Nor does the LP number. These are units shipped by the record labels during the first half of 2020.
My Discogs collection value is going up faster than my 401k.
Might be a good time to sell if you want that money. I think there will be more collections going up for sale as more boomers depart. In the last 20 years I've watched bubbles inflate and burst in baseball cards, tech stocks and real estate. I'm sure there have been many others.
