2020 Memento Mori Cabernet Sauvignon.

Picked up a few of these a few years ago. Been letting them sit and mature. New allocation opened this year (picked up a few more), so we decided it was time to “remember” this one for Mother’s Day.

Incredible wine. Really something. Big and yet also subtle and complex. Perfect with a NY strip.

VERY much looking forward to the next special day!

Phil Collins “Face Value”

1981 DE Atlantic WEA 99 143

Gatefold

Not all that rare, but a classic from my early collecting days. Got it the first day it was available in the US, only as an import. Back when “In The Air Tonight” was just a great song, not a phenomenon.

(though, in concert it certainly was phenomenal!)

One of my recent sales.

The serial number contains eight consecutive digits (01234567) but all scattered. Pretty rare, these push into the higher value notes you can reasonably expect to find in the wild (like I did with this one)

I’ve got a few for sale along with lots of other types.

Creed “Human Clay”

1999 US Wind-Up 601501305313

First Edition, 2LP Limited Edition

Includes black / white hype sticker on front shrink wrap "Limited Edition - Double Album"

A classic from the era.

Not mine, but nice to know the value of these pairs is on the rise. Auctions keep creeping up, this one up about $1K from last year. Still not sure I'll be selling any of mine unless I manage to snag a pair from the 0-250K serial range.
