Which MoFi and MoFi UHQR LPs?

I'm curious and would like to hear your opinions, recommendations and experiences...
Which out-of-print Mobile Fidelity and MoFi UHQR vinyl sets are the most desireable and valuable?
Is there a list somewhere that answers these questions, including what someone might expect to pay for the items sealed and unsealed?
I can see eBay ads, but most are "Buy It Now" pricing not auctions, so it's hard to tell if the prices are realistic or not....whatever that means among Audiophools in this economy!!

I simply avoid all the MFSLs. IMHO, you're much better off with a good original pressing 99% of the time, both musically and sonically. And, no I haven't heard them all - but then again I believe my sampling over the years of half-speeds, "super-discs" and the rest has been sufficient to come to some personal consensus. The usual disclaimers apply.

Headsnappin, you can't bake a great cake with rotton eggs. I will let those who were there for the Katy Lied debacle speak for themselves:

Viridian, why listen to an MCA copy of that?

No reason to listen to an MCA, however you said that early pressings are "good". I believe that there are only bad and worse pressings of Katy and this is supported by the unfortunate problems with the final mixdown and master. It is impossible to make a good sounding record from a bad master. There ain't no magic in this world.

Marty, I think in MCA's case it's Katy Died.
