Question for the older crowd

What’s the most record albums (vinyl) you owned in your life? I had over 1000 in my single days. Aside from maybe 100 warped in my shed they are all gone.

I'm 73. Started with 45s at age 5.... graduated to LPs and today, still have 99% of them.
Total, close to 800.

@4thdimensiondream Stil have a turntable and still enjoy playing them.

For some reason I took very good care of my records and baseball cards.....my toys? Not so much.

@JSul3 let’s not even bring up baseball cards. I was obsessed with them in the mid 60s. Mom tossed them all. Goodbye Ernie Banks and Clemente! I did get back into them in the 80s again and I still have some but most ended up just like my treasured albums.

@4thdimensiondream I kept a select few, but sold the vast majority and used the cash to buy furniture for the new house after getting married in '76.

The market was hot and I cashed in.
