The copy of the album I ordered came today from Amazon and I was wondering. Is it worth more as a collectors item if it is still sealed? I have no need to open it because I have all the tracks anyway. And with the possibility of having it signed soon I've been debating on opening it or not.
Any thoughts?

The copy of the album I ordered came today from Amazon and I was wondering. Is it worth more as a collectors item if it is still sealed? I have no need to open it because I have all the tracks anyway. And with the possibility of having it signed soon I've been debating on opening it or not. Any thoughts? Based on History, if you look at Music Collectibles original sealed items are worth more. However, signed Items are worth more still. But you have to open it to get it signed. My solution is to buy extras. My problem is I'm not doing it for the money or future value. I'm saving them for giveaways. I have over 200 Rock & Pop Albums from the '50's - '80's, mostly '60's - '70's including "Introducing The Beatles" on V-Jay Records (You can look it up). But with my age & current health, all I care about is giving them to someone who will appreciate them. You can guess who that would be. I haven't worked out the logistics yet, but someday. But back to the point of your original query. The VJay album sealed, in mint condition would be worth thousands of dollars. Unsealed & used, who knows. Check any collector's page & you will see that sealed is the way to go unless it is signed, but then, years down the road, the question of authenticity comes up. Again, buy extras while they are comparatively cheap. Does anyone know if anyone in Greyson's family is into Star Wars or Spiderman?

Hmm, Does it need to be opened to be signed though? I would assume a sharpy would work on the plastic but I suppose it would be difficult to write on huh.
