s

my mom buys a bunch of records for me when she sees them at garage sales. Usually old people unloading everything they have for a buck a piece

anyway I was going to play this album when I realized its still sealed. Looking it up it looks like it was printed in either 1975 or 1976, so its been unopened for nearly 50 years. Wonder if its worth anything. I assume the cut corner decreases any value but I also assume everything is in mint condition otherwise

Corner looks like it was cut with a razor. No longer sealed. Not gonna fetch any big $$$. Someone who just wants the record might give you 10 bucks for it.

There are some old eBay and Discogs listings for sealed cut corner and hole drilled versions of this album that still fetch big bucks, in the hundreds

You'd have to get more details to verify exactly which pressing, which usually means checking the matrix etchings. Looks like it could be this one - https://www.discogs.com/release/762014-Steely-Dan-Katy-Lied

The corner cut off in the bottom is usually overstock sold to a store at a discount that couldn't be returned.

It would likely cost you about the same to buy a new pressing than a used original. Sealed may be worth a bit based on Discogs history, but def less than $100. Cut corner will decrease that as well.

Only saw one that was selling for more than $100. It was a limited edition import from Japan. Rest were in the $40 to $50 range. Id keep it for your collection.

Looks like I guessed the same pressing as you. Bolded the important part, just because it's listed doesn't mean it'll sell. Looking at the sales history, which only goes back 6 months, the highest price sold is $75 for a M/M sealed copy. Not chump change, but you're likely not gonna hit triple digits.
nice
It don't matter. None of this matters.
he/him
Steely Dan records are fucking rare as fuck compared to the standard mainstream album that gets rereleased every so often.

I wouldn't sell that one for anything less than a hundred. Collectors will def be fighting for it.

Yeah tbh Im not really concerned about the money. Really just the novelty of finding a (fucking great, btw) record that has been unopened for almost 50 years

my plan is to take it to the record store a couple blocks from my house to see if its of interest to them at all

I found a sealed OG press of Maggot Brain last year for $20. Was absolutely insane.
O)))
