I have 10 LPs now. I haven't posted most of them here, because its a bit hard to keep up. Funny thing is, I was always looking for a Black Beauty. That's what I wanted, kept asking for, looking for... but things never worked out, and there'd always be another LP, that kicked ass... so I'd buy it.
This week, I missed out on a 1998 Case Queen. Still had the damn stickers on it. Missed it by 4 hours.
I said, screw it... I'm going to be proactive and find my BB. I hit Reverb, and started browsing. Everyone wanted way more, than I wanted to spend. That Case Queen, went for $2499. After tax and such, it would have been over $2700... but, $2500 was my new price point.
I started throwing out lowball offers, to anyone under $3,000. One of them bit, and countered, with a price under my $2500 threshhold. I got some more pics and we did the deal.
I'd rate her above Players Grade, a firm VG.
We're waiting the weekend out, to ship... as its in KC and freezing this weekend. Neither of us, want it sitting in a UPS warehouse, or worse... a truck, over that period. So he's shipping it out Monday. I should have it next Friday, couple days after my 50th birthday. So Happy Half Century to me!
Here's most of my LPs (I never mentioned), minus my Gold Top and obviously, the incoming LPC
