Seems really depressing no idea of the condition of them all. Hopefully he get some more for them maybe a museum would be interested in them or maybe someone like Richard Branson.

Hard to believe it won't get more than that. Someone like Pete Waterman (or another Music fan who has made serious money from the Record Industry) would snap it up.

It would make a nice exhibition if anyone had the space to show even a part of the collection.

How much would he have spent collecting them?

I am sure it would have cost a lot more than 11k.

Is it some kind of record?

In a way, since he got royalties for the initial sale, its
likely its only costing him 50% or 6k but then I'm sure he thinks
its utter sh1t.
