I recently had a guy give me a bunch of his dads old records. I took them all. Filled my truck three times hauling them home. What I learned was... TAKE EVERYTHING. Going through them at home in my garage I found a mint copy of Natural High 1 (had no idea who they were but that record apparently sells for $300+) stamped as a DJ COPY, DO NOT SELL. A PROMO copy of Zeppelin 4 in a plain white jacket, White label PROMO of Tyton: Mind Over Metal with the original promo sticker and band photo, a still sealed copy of South Paw (a Louisiana based Southern rock band from the late 70's) worth about $125. You never know what you're gonna find... just TAKE EM ALL and go through them at home where you can be more meticulous.

Glad to see that it worked out and having a friend help out a bonus. I would 've asked the owner on the first visit if he would allow you to bring power tools to cut some of that shelving for stacking the boxes inside the van. He did provide you with a generator and no worries about heavy boxes stacked on top of each other wrecking the albums. Many years ago I had the glorious opportunity of going through two trailers, only to find moldy records due to freakin' leaking roof. Anyways congrats and hope you find some more grails.
