Samson Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 very nice nick. Can't believe it went for $373!! I'd be afraid to put that one in with the rest of mine.....might scratch up the other records:lol:
George G Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Can't believe it went for $373!! I'd be afraid to put that one in with the rest of mine.....might scratch up the other records:lol: This is one of the most famous US garage 45s, as iconic to that scene as Frank Wilson, JD Bryant on Shrine, or Junior McCants "Try Me" are to US Northern Soul 45s. Be that as it may, the record does not play through and the winner was an infamous collector known as the 'Caveman', someone whose thinking is rather diminutive to their wallet size.... Getting back to my first sentence, if a copy of one of the three records I mentioned, or a similar item came up for sale, an unplayable copy, I wonder what it would sell for.....

Samson Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 I think I just don't have enough money to understand. I feel bad spending $150 on a VG- record no matter how rare or expensive a minter is. It's all about having a nice copy for me. I suppose once you've collected enough then there's nothing left to collect and you might be willing to drop some dough just for a token. I too am curious to see what a cracked FW would bring in.
