    Back in the day I used to go to Princeton Record Exchange right by the University.

    Ever check it out ?

      I didn't actually go the store with the guy, he just relayed the story to me. I'm betting it's the same store as he told me it was in Princeton.

        Wow, I don't have a super large collection but do have some vinyls that I just continued to hold onto even after I started buying CD's. I was real particular about them so they should all be in minty condition (unless I stored them incorrectly). A few years ago, I pulled out some of my favorite LP's with aesthetically looking album covers and bought a few inexpensive LP frames from A.C. Moore. I framed Sgt. Pepper, Charlie Brown Christmas, and Lynyrd Skynyrd 2nd Helping, to name a few. I know I have some obscure punk LP's and import 45's. There was a record store that I used to drive to that sold the most obscure stuff around and often find myself picking up imported vinyls that couldn't be purchased in a typical store. I'll have to pull the collection out and see if I have anything of value.
