What to Consider when Collecting CD & DVD & Video & Discs

What to Consider when Collecting CD & DVD & Video & Discs

When collecting CDs, DVDs, and other discs, there are several important factors to consider. Here are some key considerations for collectors:

Condition: The condition of the discs is crucial to their value and playability. Look for discs that are free from scratches, cracks, or significant damage. Discs in excellent condition are more desirable among collectors and tend to retain their value better.

Authenticity and Editions: Ensure the authenticity of the discs you collect, especially when it comes to limited editions or special releases. Some albums, movies, or video games have different editions with exclusive content, bonus tracks, or special packaging, making them more valuable to collectors. Research the specific editions and verify their authenticity before adding them to your collection.

Artist or Director: Consider the artists, bands, directors, or franchises associated with the discs. Collecting works from renowned artists or directors, or discs featuring popular characters or franchises, can enhance the desirability and value of your collection. Look for limited edition releases or special collaborations that showcase the talent or creativity of these individuals.

Genre and Theme: Determine your focus within CDs, DVDs, or video discs by considering your preferred genres or themes. Some collectors concentrate on specific music genres, film genres, or specific themes like classic films, documentaries, or rare concert recordings. Having a clear focus can help you build a more cohesive and satisfying collection.

Rarity and Limited Releases: Discs that are rare or have limited availability are often more valuable among collectors. This can include limited edition runs, out-of-print releases, or discontinued titles. Research the rarity and availability of the discs you're interested in, and be aware that scarcity can significantly impact their value.

Packaging and Special Features: Pay attention to the packaging and any special features accompanying the discs. Some collectors appreciate unique or elaborate packaging designs, box sets, or limited edition artwork. Additionally, bonus features like behind-the-scenes footage, director's commentaries, or exclusive content can add value to DVDs and Blu-rays.

Historical or Cultural Significance: Consider the historical or cultural significance of the discs you collect. Some albums, films, or video games may be historically important, groundbreaking, or have had a significant impact on their respective industries. Collecting discs with such significance can add depth and meaning to your collection.

Preservation and Storage: Proper storage and handling are crucial for maintaining the condition and longevity of your discs. Store them in protective cases or sleeves designed for CDs, DVDs, or Blu-rays to prevent scratches or damage. Keep them away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, or moisture, as these can degrade the discs over time.

Conclusion

Remember to collect discs that align with your personal interests and preferences. Whether you focus on music, films, TV shows, or video games, building a collection that reflects your passion will make it more enjoyable and fulfilling. Stay updated on new releases, participate in online forums or communities, and explore secondhand markets or specialty stores to expand your collection and connect with fellow collectors.

DVD & Video Recommendations

Star Wars - Episode II, Attack of the Clones (Widescreen Edition) (2002)	Star Wars: Episode II, Attack of the Clones is a superior DVD, repeating many of the elements that made its predecessor, Episode I, The Phantom Menace, so good. The picture and sound are spectacular, helped immensely by the fact that the film was shot entirely in digital, making this the first live-action direct digital-to-digital DVD transfer. This version of the film was the one shown in digital theaters; there are subtle differences from the standard theatrical version, such as showing... More information
Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring (Widescreen Edition)	This initial DVD release of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring presents the theatrical version of the film with a beautiful picture and Dolby Digital 5.1 EX sound that rattles the walls and gives rear speakers a good workout. Extras include almost two hours of making-of programs previously seen on TV or on the Web, but for many fans the most tantalizing feature will be the 10-minute preview of the next film in the series, The Two Towers. ..

Buffy the Vampire Slayer - The Complete Third Season (1999)	The third season of Joss Whedon's Buffy the Vampire Slayer was marked by the arrival in Sunnydale of renegade slayer Faith (Eliza Dushku), a moody loner who seemed to like her demon-staking calling just a little too much. While Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) was always wary of Faith, the two... More information
Lara Croft - Tomb Raider	Like the video game series it's based on, Tomb Raider is best enjoyed for its physical strategies, since even casual scrutiny of story details will induce a headache. It's more concerned with puzzles than plot, populated with characters that don't have personalities so much as attitudes. It's silly... More information
Shrek	William Steig's delightfully fractured fairy tale is the right stuff for this computer-animated adaptation full of verve and wit. Our title character (voiced by Mike Myers) is an agreeable enough ogre who wants to live his days in peace. When the diminutive Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow) evicts local... More infromation...
Saving Private Ryan	Steven Spielberg's film of a mission following the D-day invasion that many have called the most realistic--and maybe the best--war film ever. With 1998 production standards, Spielberg has been able to create a stunning, unparalleled view of war as hell. We are at Omaha Beach as troops are slaughtered by Germans yet overcome the almost insurmountable odds.A stalwart Tom Hanks plays Captain Miller, a soldier's soldier, who takes a small band of troops behind enemy lines to retrieve a private whose three brothers have recently been killed in action...

The James Bond Collection	Seven films. Four Bonds. One set. This sprawling collection surveys over 30 years of James Bond skullduggery, from the cold war tensions of the 1960s to the international free-for-all of the present. Sean Connery remains the coolest of the Bonds, a ruthless agent with dry martini wit and a way with the women, and in Goldfinger his steely presence helped forge the Bond formula of tongue-in-cheek wit, wondrous secret agent toys created by Q, and megalomaniac supervillains bent on world destruction. Thunderball upped the Bond ante with the most ambitious adventure--and budget--to date. Roger Moore brought an altogether lighter tone to 007... More information...
