World's largest record collection worth $50 Million; can't sell for $3 Million
The library of congress did a study on the merchandise that i have in my collection, and from 48 and 66, only 17% of that is available to the public on CD, now you think about that for a second that means 83% of the music that i have on those shelves you cant buy at any price anywhere.
If you're looking for a sign that we live in a digital world that cares not for the physical manifestations of our analogue past, you need only look at Paul Mawhinney's record collection. At over 3 million records, it's the largest in the world. He's trying to sell it due to his advancing age and health problems. Unfortunately, as he puts it, "no one gives a damn."
