Common FAQs

Are matrix numbers and OBI strips important?

Very important. Matrix numbers can identify the first pressing and the pressing plant. Complete Japanese OBI strips, lyric sheets, and posters significantly add to the value.

Will scratches or skips on Danny Chan's "Waiting For You" LP affect its resale value?

Yes, they will. Vinyl conditions are graded from Mint (M) and Near Mint (NM) to Poor (P) in multiple levels. Skips, deep scratches, and obvious mold will significantly reduce the price. We recommend taking clear photos, and our specialists will estimate the value based on the grade.

Is there a market for old Hong Kong pressings (Alan Tam, Leslie Cheung, Beyond, etc.)?

Yes, and their popularity continues to rise. Hong Kong pressings from the 1980s–1990s (especially first pressings and exclusive Hong Kong versions) are highly sought after by local collectors. The more original and well-preserved they are, the more valuable they become.

Are first pressings always more expensive?

Usually. First-pressing vinyl records (especially classic albums from the 1960s–1980s) are highly sought after in the market. For example, first pressings of albums by The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin can fetch premiums ranging from several times to dozens of times their original price.
