Well, the classical LPs are fading in popularity with collectors, and that's no problem for me. When I finally bought an original, NM 1955 RCA LSC Munch Daphnis et Chloe from a dealer, it was $10 (marked down from $17). I got an RCA LSC Power of the Orchestra in NM condition from the bins for $1. Same for an original, big tulip red stereo DG Mravinsky Pathetique symphony.

For a long time I had no RCA shaded dog stereo LPs because I felt they were ridiculously overpriced. When the prices finally fell, I bought about 30 for an average of about $3 each. I don't buy for investment, and I don't pay collector's premiums. That's worked for me.
