<blockquote class="Quote"><div><strong class="bc-author">sabadabada</strong> said:</div><div>With stamps and coins you basically enjoy all their esthetic value by looking at them and holding them, etc. With a record you need to play it in order to completely enjoy it. But I do agree with you in respect to the collectible aspect of something purely for the purpose of having it. Possessing it. In that respect it doesn't matter that the coin cant be spent and the stamp never mailed.</div></blockquote> <br /> Another example would be all the people who collect comics encased in hard plastic. Those can't be completely enjoyed except at the risk of lessening their value, but they're still partially enjoyable due to the covers. Enjoyment isn't determinative, either.<br /> <br /> If I couldn't play my records anymore I'd get rid of them quickly. (I don't have any sealed records, either.) Maybe I'm not a pure collector, though.
