If you're not opening your vinyls to at least rarely spin them, ... you're probably not a collector but an investor. A collector wants to enjoy the collection ... which means listening to the music in the case of a music collection while preserving the state/condition of every item. That's no contradiction. The main focus of an investor is to solely preserve the value of the collection. That's what you do when you refrain from opening a sealed vinyl. That's my take on this topic.

The plural of vinyl is vinyl.

Thanks for correcting me. English is my third language only. You live and learn. I hope you were able to understand what I tried to express nonetheless.

Agreed. I bought a sealed Lost Dogs last year for quite a bit of money. First thing I did was open and play it. I admit i have some sealed vinyl but only because I have a decent variant to play. A few years ago, I bought an original pressing of Vs. it had been sealed since the early 1990s. When I got it home I unsealed it, put it on the turntable and told it that it was finally fulfilling its purpose after all these years. It sounded excellent!
