Undoubtedly a bad investment, at least in any predictable sense, for all the reasons mentioned already. But, great enjoyment factor, so I can't imagine wanting to sell them later anyway - every one of the AP and MM sets I have received I just love. Maybe they'll be worth a lot when my kids are cleaning up my estate in a few decades :-)
Blue Note reissues as an investment?
What are your thoughts about the investment potential of the Music Matters' numbered limited edition releases versus the unnumbered limited edition copies? How about the Analogue Productions limited edition numbered Blue Notes?
(Some will be outraged, no doubt, about people buying these with the intent to sell on ebay in the future but that's a different issue. Frankly, I have no problem with it; People buy art, real estate, etc as investments and this is no different.)
I just ordered the Music Matters' subscription but plan to listen to all of them and sell only what I don't like. That said, I hope I love them all. If I had the money (I don't) perhaps I would buy two sets and keep one as an investment.
BTW, Elusive Disc just announced they have more subscriptions available in case you thought you missed out.
