The sealed LP... what is the point?

It is so easy to reseal it is meaningless.

A problem I've had in purchasing still sealed records say, 20 or more years old is that when you open them, clean them, put them on the turntable and drop the needle you suddenly discover they are badly WARPED.
Although this does not happen with MFSL.
I have no LP's sitting just sealed, never played.

Xiekitchen: Good point. I received a Classic Records Led Zep that, while not warped, was obviously "dished".
It played alright (when clamped) but for this kind of money, I returned it for a clean copy.

I have many sealed audiophile albums and what I do is look for a back up copy in mint to mint - and purchase that to play. I can then keep the original sealed to sell. I personaly don't care what people do with it when they buy it they paid for it. I have invested in Blue Note japanese pressing for pure investment never to listen to them ,just hold on to sell at a later date. In some case I don't open the sealed copy because I felt how much better could it be to the original pressing. A couple like that are The Pretenders first album. I have a sealed natilus Super Disc but the original pressing i have is as good as it gets.

When I got back into vynil a few years ago , I bought unopened copies of Dark Side of the Moon , Supertramp Crime of the Century , Bob Segars Night Moves and The Beatles Abbey Road and Rubber Soul all Mobile Fidelity Master Copies from a two fer collector. My intent was to keep them unopened . Lasted ten minutes till I was spinning libations and dropping the needle . Buy it, play it, enjoy it . But thats just me , I won,t knock the guys that buy em and keep em ..... without them where would I find excellant virgin vynil !!!!
