My answer to your question is, that most of my record collection is from the 60-70, and none of mine were bought by me @ that time of release. So most of my LP are used. I buy an Lp and listen to it and make notes as to its quality sound, originality, which issue is it, and then rate them on my plastic cover. Say Pink Floyd DSOTM , I had 1 or 2 copies from Canada, and they were fine, then I was in Salsburg Austria and found a copy there, so I bought it, then when I Lived in England for a few years I bought a few more there, They all seem to be different in sound quality, so I found it interesting when I found one that sounded superior to all the ones I had,trust me we are talking about a Big difference in sound quality, a wider and deeper soundstage, amazing detail, and a much more deeper bass. So as a hobbie it seems to keep me buying clean copies looking for a better sounding LP, and why would I keep so many , I never seem to have the time to go over all my stuff and clean it out. I have 2 DSOTM Hot Stampers and wouldn't sell either ,and for the other DSOTM, maybe that's a good New Years resolution. My wife would love it, if I can cut down some of my LP.
Hobbie sometime don't make dollard sence, It's fun and exiting and I love the thrill of of putting that next copy on my Hot super tweaked out Garrard 301 and see what it has to deliver, I have been surprised to many times, to stop now.
Hope that helps
Listen and enjoy
Cheers
