How many sealed LP's do you have?


About 40 at last count. I plan on playing them,but when they get here I just can't do do it. Well maybe some day.

I have dozens but they're unopened only because I haven’t got to them yet. I obtain my LPs for listening purposes but some how don't have enough time to listen as much as I'd like. When my other half goes away on work related jaunts I'm able to listen at will, even to Sun Ra or Zappa or John Cage and those unopened LPs. Where did I put those suckers??
About 6 months ago I came across about 20 sealed Lp's, and decided to listen to a few of them.

What I found, was that more than a couple of them were warped due to the shrinkwrap.

I decided to slit the end of the shrinkwrap on a few of the Lp's so as to relieve the stress--

I am not sure if this is indeed a solution. Any thoughts on this being effective?

It is a major dissapointment to open a really awesome title and find nothing more than a frisbee :(

Now I have mixed feelings on sealed Lp's....

I grew up in the "Smoke 'Em if Ya Got 'Em" era, but I suppose many are worth more monetarily if left unheard.
I have found around 40 or so also. All have been opened by me to play.
The most common of all are Columbia Classical six eye stereos. Then two eye with black stereo word at bottom. Some were not covered with a platic outer, but the inner Columbia 'baggie' was still sealed.
A few Columbis Jazz of Brubeck too.
I am not much on hold and sell. If I am lucky enough to find it, I play it.
Remember that PLENTY of these so called sealed LPs are just re-sealed copies. I NEVER believe that any LP that is sealed is a genuine original never played sealed LP, until I open it up. (Sometimes key markers such as a $2.99 price tag from some 1960's store like "Treasure Island", or a $2.69 price from a major retailer like "Boston Store" "Macy's" etc is on the LP plastic wrap. Then I am more inclined to believe it is real))
