    You really don't play your records? I know, NOMDB, but that always amazes me. But they're yours- do as you like. :-)

    He has playable ones as well as sealed ones. To each their own.

    Wind this thing up.

  • Yep I have two of almost every PJ studio album. All but two. I used to know people. Didn't buy most of them. I was lucky that way once upon a time. Will probably never part with either. Pass them down to my daughters some day. One for each.

    Yes they are all mine. Mwahahaha.

    If I had duplicates I would do something crafty too. I would have/want to split the gatefold so that everything was showing in the frame. JMO.
    If I personally had duplicates I would get them out there in the world or have plans to eventually, but hey, that's just me. I simply think that a SEALED framed album would look weird. That cellophane isn't exactly attractive.

    I'm with dankind...IF you want to frame your record, GO FOR IT!!
    I put my BAD copy of "Lightning Bolt" in the frame job with my Pittsburgh / Munk One poster!!

    I agree with what you are saying which is why I probed a little earlier to get them into some one else's hands, say- me?

    But I would love to have framed gatefolds displaying the artwork and pictures.

    So if I had some that I play on the turntable and some just sitting there ( I will never own duplicates of their original hard to find pressings, let alone the originals) I think it would be cool to hang the entire gatefold. When, WHEN, they reissue their albums I will probably do something like that.

    I love the conversation. Really only concerned about damage to the vinyl. Guess I wasn't clear about that. I would sell them rather than give them to my kids because?Thanks definitely been fun

    You guys kinda missed the point of the original question but I love the conversation. Really only concerned about damage to the vinyl and I would sell them rather than give them to my kids because?Thanks definitely been fun

    Sorry, I didn't mean to hijack the thread. I really have no idea the answer to your question.
