Does a sleeve printing issue affect the value of a record?

Hi everyone, I bought "Michigan Brand Nuggets" at a Record Store Day a couple of years ago, and just noticed that it doesn't have an issue number printed on the back of the sleeve (1,000 copies are supposed to have been made of this particular record). I was just wondering if anybody knows if this printing issue affects the value of my record! Thanks!

Trying to find/identify an album cover

I know this is a long shot, but I’m trying to identify an album from my childhood. My dad had an album that I recall being one of my favorites. I assume it was a late 60’s or 70’s era album. The album cover was black and I remember it featured a stained glass window. My dad was a guitarist, and based on his typical genre(s) of choice, it’s likely a folk or classic rock album. Thanks in advance for throwing your ideas my way if this jogs your memory! : )

Where to score massive record hauls

Hey all,

I'm a collector and run a side gig selling vinyl records. I'd love some tips on leads for larger hauls of records.

Specifically, I'm curious if there are any great resources for exactly this type of thing, or estate sales that don't require paying for them. Thanks!

I tried to go green as possible on creating this vinyl storage crate with little hardware (save a few tiny nails in the bottom) or plastic, and it can assemble in under a minute.

Life of pablo pink marbled pressing

Hey friendsofvinyl!

I was in a record store about a year ago and stumbled upon a copy of Kanye West's Pablo record. I know that the album was only pressed as a bootleg and I have seen many variants online, but never the variant I found. It is pink but marbled with a couple of other colors.

I was wondering if anyone had seen a similar variant, or if they had any information on where the record comes from. Basically any and all info on this record because I know nothing about it....

Thanks guys

In Search Of....Grace VanderWaal on vinyl

Apologies if this is this incorrect place to post...been trying to decide which of the vinyl related subs would be ideal.

I would like to find a Vinyl record of new aspiring artist Grace VanderWaal, however there only seems to be CD or Digital sales available.

I am giving one of my Technics turntables to my niece this x-mas. While she has noted to her mother she would like poppy type music and I know she likes taylor swift, however, I feel Grace VanderWaal would be a better artist to follow their career and her music is pretty amazing for her age, and who doesn't enjoy following a musically talented individual who is basically their same age?

please and thank you for any direction on where i might be able to find this. I may just end up getting a digital album for her via amazon music to her kindle.
