I always had much more albums on vinyl then cassettes. Recently started collecting but quality tapes are hard to find in 2nd hand music shops. Online buying seems the way to go.

Nice! The rap tapes are skyrocketing in value, hold on to them. I've never found an LL Cool J ~Radio~ in the wild. We oughta start a tape exchange on the site!

We have the same amount of Napa racks (I have 2 unused sitting around)! All my extra's and dupes are stacked on-top of the wall mounted Napa's.

Yes, no re-issues so these hip hop tapes are rare. Found an Us3 Hand on the torch yesterday. Bought the album in the 80's but great to have the tape too.

Though I've done my vinyl (for insurance purposes) Discogs.com is a great personal database for logging tape collections. It gives low/med/high values (recently sold) on your collection. I never did my tapes on there, but put them in as I play them. Sure most knew about it already. BTW I missed a rack in my original pics.

Cassette tapes are not worth what people claim them to be. It is only limited release or special ones like Prince tapes handed out at party's worth collecting. Anything that was purchased retail where literary sold in the thousands and are crappy polyester tape and sound rubbish.

Dope collections, I've been collecting tapes ever since I got my 1st boombox, I think I have around 1000 cassette in my collection, mostly all Punk Rock, Hip Hop and a few random music genres
Sweeeeeet! I gotta know more about those "random genres" because that's what I specialize in.
