RE: Can you tell if a vinyl collection has been cherry picked?

> are there any tell take clues that the best stuff is missing?

Well, if the collection is neatly stored in a record rack, but there are gaps in the records left by removing records from the shelf, that might be a clue. Of course, if you have the time to look through the collection and you don't find any records you like, that might be another clue. Of course, the original owner might not have the same taste in vinyl as you. If there is a list of all the records in the collection and some are missing, that would be a clue. Other than that, I don't know if there is really a good way to tell. I'm sure that if you have enough money you could hire a team to do a study to determine whether it's possible to tell if the best stuff is missing. Of course, it might be cheaper to look through the collection yourself depending on the value you place on your own time. How much would you be willing to spend on a study?

Thanks,
