Here is a quick Halloween-adjacent story and a fun little follow-up to this morning's Misfits "Halloween" music post.
Ever since I was a 14-year-old skate punk kid, the holy grails of punk record collecting have always been those rare early Glenn Danzig-era Misfits records. And ever since I was a 14-year-old skate punk kid, those rare early Misfits records have always been just out of reach for my wallet's liking.
Since then, I have been able to acquire a few Misfits gems for my collection, but most continue to allude my wallet's limit. And as their collectability continues to grow, their prices unfortunately follow right along.
I recently read this great little story on Discogs about the most valuable Misfits records ever sold on their site, and my jaw hit the floor. Unicorn gems of limited pressings, colored vinyl variants, and alternate record sleeves fetching prices into the FIVE FIGURES! Yikes!
At this point, I am resigned to winning the lottery in order to afford these rarities, but I at least have the music itself permanently burned into my brain.
Enjoy the eye-opening sale amounts for these records, and please note that I would gladly take them off of your hands in the odd instance that you might just have them laying around.
Just maybe not for those prices.
