swapping out records between identical albums

topic posted Mon, January 29, 2007 - 7:22 PM by  Fishbits
I have three identical albums... all 4xlp.

Assuming they are all the same release cycle, is it problematic swapping out single lp's so that I can make a VG+, VG and VG- set?

Meaning... I want to swap them around so I have the best all together... etc.

Is there anything that would create a problem in reselling them? Like mismatched serial #'s or anything?

    I don't think that's a problem for most collectors. Like you said, I would make sure that all of the records are from the same printing and I would be upfront about your process when making the sale. The latter insures that buyer can judge for himself/herself if the swap out is a big deal.

    Also, I'd gauge danger of the change based on how valuable the album is. A $10 box set? No one will likely care about a small discrepancy. $50? You're starting to talk about collectors who are more finnicky...
