I'm probably only at 125 well-chosen specimens. Had a bunch more, but divorce knocked the numbers down. It's only stuff and doesn't bother me. I've been able to slowly build back my small collection in a more targeted way.
Interesting tidbit from the expo yesterday. Apparently there was a mother/daughter run studio and record label in the 50s called Band Box Records. The granddaughter of the founder (probably in her 70s) was there with a booth selling off what remains of the back catalog. These were all original pressings, but untouched - kept in storage this whole time. Mostly country & western 7" stuff, but some R&B, spoken word, and 12s in there too.
