Because the condition of a record is held to be important by collectors, the ideal example of a record to own, in the eyes of many collectors, would be one that has never been played at all. Because of this, collectors will often pay a huge premium for sealed, unopened examples of records they are seeking.

Most mass produced records sold over the past 60 years or so have been poorly cared for by their owners. They may have been played on low-quality equipment, stored outside of their covers, and handled by their playing surfaces, rather than their edges. The Wall" wasn't just an album. An accompanying film entitled "Pink Floyd — The Wall" was released in 1982 and directed by Alan Parker, who had one of the more eclectic careers of any director over the last 50 years. As with most collectibles, much of what makes a record valuable comes down to how rare or in-demand it is. While you may own an LP of one of the most popular bands of the 1960s, for example, this alone may not mean much if there are still plenty of copies of the same record on the market.

Gen Xers, your cherished wax copy of Nirvana's landmark 1991 album "Nevermind" may have big sentimental value, but unless you've got a first pressing in mint condition (unlikely), it ain't worth much.Italian album certifications – Artisti Vari – Grease" (in Italian).

In the case of some albums, which may have only been originally for sale from small record companies, these reissues might actually sell more copies than the original album. When an album is reissued, the original vinyl record’s value usually falls in the marketplace. While some collectors remain interested in owning an early or an original pressing of a recently reissued album, there are others who are only interested in hearing the music, and will be happy to own a reissued version of the album instead. While there are many factors that go into determining vinyl records value, perhaps none is more important than the need for the record to be an original pressing and not a counterfeit pressing created at a later date to resemble the original issue.
