Vinyl Records: The Ultimate Collectors Investment
The vinyl rebirth is in full swing!
In 2022, vinyl sales in the U.S. surpassed CDs for the first time, topping $1.2 billion. Demand is also rising in Europe, driving up prices and making rare records harder to find. Even in China, vinyl is regaining popularity, underscoring the global trend.
Why Rare Vinyl Is More Valuable Than Ever
Many sought-after records, once widely available, are becoming increasingly scarce, especially first pressings and signed editions. Finding pristine, original copies is now a challenge, making them a top investment for collectors and music lovers.
Exclusive Signed Vinyl – A Rare Find
Signed records are highly collectible and extremely hard to find. Where artist signatures used to be more common, with artists signing records at their record launches, they are now rare – with a few exceptions, such as Kanye West, whose signed records, including the infamous “FUCK Adidas” edition, have skyrocketed in value.
