Way too high just search "gorilla biscuits yellow" on popsike.com and sort by price. These seem to come up more often then the numbered ones.

If the GB 7" goes for over $400 that would be pretty crazy.

Just placed an order from Rev for me and a friend. Ordered 11 LPs, 3 7"s, 1 hoodie and 1 DVD. Total before shipping was $182. Shipping was $122.50 to Australia. So total after shipping was $304.60. I know it was a really big order, but that just seems really really high for shipping.

Only got 7 tests, not sure of the ratio, will figure that out later. I need many many more. I havn't counted it but since the PX 7" didn't have tests that would also technically be a test press I guess.

Low light rooms are good, and no sunlight is the way to go if you're going to frame records but regular light bulbs also cause discolouration, just not as much as direct sunlight of course. So yeah if I was you Dobek I would possibly look into maybe making something like a copy of the artwork to frame. But again to each their own.

In regards to framing, I wouldn't frame a Chung King coz I've seen pics of one that is all yellowed from being framed. If I was going to frame records I would try to avoid white covers, unless it's a cheap record, or one you don't care if yellows a bit. But I wouldn't frame records just cos I prefer framed posters, and barely have enough wall space for them as it is.

Low those cases, they look really nice. But still worried about light on them, not sure how they would hold up.
Anyways I was wondering if any of you guys know the order that the toys/figures were realised? I know roughly when some came out but most I have no idea. Any one know what one is what 'press'?

So check out what came in the mail today!! So stoked on these!! Now the question, these came with the original bags, opened (the ones that came with them that is. All but the clear red, and of course green and rev 25 ones have their own boxes). Should i display them, or put them away out of the light? At this point I'm leaning more to display them, i mean that is what they are designed for, what do you guys think?

Hahah, fair enough on the poly bags, as you call them. Like I said have just ran out and need to buy some more. But I guess one man's chaos is another's order. It makes much more sense to me to have teen idles, then SOA then Minor Threat than having Madball or something next to minor threat, that seems not only chaotic but just wrong, but that's just me. To each their own I guess.
I'm actually surprised no one on here has said they split their records up by genre, since most of you seem to listen to a whole heap of other genres apart from hardcore/punk.

Hahaha, yeah I was actually talking to Leigh about this tonight. I have plastic sleeves for about 90% of my records but I need to buy some more, especially for my LPs.

I actually sort mine from right to left as well. So older records are on the right and newer ones on the left. I do this so the older ones are at the front and easier to see/get to. I don't get it. When you have records on a shelf I assume they're arranged in rows where you only see a side spine of each record. How do you get "the front" there that is "easier to see/get to"? It's a row of records dude... and they should be sorted A B C D not Z Y X W unless you're used to Arabic writing, or Hebrew, or old style Chinese/Japanese Dobek, my records aren't totally compacted like yours, they can be flipped through (sort of). As you can see below. Also having my older records at the front means not only are they easier to get to, but there is less weight pressed onto them from other records.

Ok so I'm really anal retentive when it comes to sorting my records and I thought it would be interesting to see how you guys sort your collections.
I don't sort my records how most people do, which seems to be alphabetical. Or even by record lable. I sort my records by year of the bands first release, but keep later relseases with the band, so for example, YOT CCME then YOT s/t. so that way all my old discord records are together and my records from 1988 are together and 90s and so on.
I do this because having my records sorted alphabetically means the records are all over the place, new records mixed up with old records etc. and I don't like just sorting by record label as that means I would have to split up my judge 7"s and there are just too many lables with one or very few releases.
I'm interested to see how you guys sort your records and your reasons.

Hmm off the top of my head these bands come to mind; Mindset No tolerance Not afraid Rival mob Peace Truth inside Stick together Enough Step aside Face reality Gone but not forgotten Right idea Keep it clear Remains to be seen Remission
I'm sure you have probably heard of most of these, but if you haven't check them out, and I'm sure I'm missing heaps but I would recommended just checking out record lables and going through the bands.
