Should i open the single?

Should i open it or not? i want to keep the value but i dont know what to do

[hux90]

I'm not opening it, mostly because my record player doesn't work very well :lol:
I guess I just bought it for the cred :embarrassed:

If you want to keep the value, then don't open it, or you can buy another copy to open, that's what I did with both cd and 7" :)

It's a tough call. "Sealed" means a lot, but when dealing with any card sleeve or record sleeve, remember that the plastic will continue to shrink, and will eventually begin to damage the edges of the sleeve. I keep my stuff sealed, until I start to note any bending, then slice the plastic along one edge.

I could never buy something and then not open it seriously whats the point it's to enjoy not to keep on some dusty shelf.

I agree.:dozey:

It's called collecting preserving the value in time, and believe it or not, some people like it :)

fair enough, but to me the value is enjoyment not money.

Same here, which is why I spend so much money on things I do (e.g. concerts, sport) rather than things of material value.
In fact, I'm off to a gig very shortly, and then I also have one on Monday and then another on Wednesday.:D

Sorry bud, but having a Coldplay record doesn't exactly do wonders for your street cred. :lol:

Value? The thing doesn't have any value and probably won't have much in the future. Open the damn thing. :lol:

The sum of these two posts is: collectors don't enjoy music, they just think about money which they will never spend for gigs :rolleyes:

I'm not a collector then :disappointed:

Ha!

This; it's not exactly a rare copy! :P

The only reason I'd say don't open it is if it's something worth a lot, which this isn't.

Hahah :) Not street cred, 'Coldplay fan cred' is what I meant :lol:

I'm not a collector then

I'm with you on this. But I'm curious, if I actively collect music catalogs for my enjoyment, AND enjoy the music, all while being fortunate enough to collect AND spend money on gigs, then I'm also apparently not a collector.

So, what are we?

[Blakexy1125]

I bought a second one :) now i have to keep it safe for years to come!
