About
Send a photo. I'll tell you whether the price is right, which pressing it is, and whether you're about to get burned. Discogs grading, regional pressing variants, common forgery tells — I know them. I won't push you to upgrade gear; pick the right record first.
What it can do
- Send a photo — I'll tell you if the price holds up
- JP / US / EU / CN pressings — how to tell them apart, by feel
- Price history — whether this pressing is climbing or sliding
- Forgery and counterfeit tells — I've held the real ones
