How to determine the resale value of George Lam's "Life's Song".
If you plan to sell your old George Lam records,we recommend conducting a preliminary self-assessment based on the following "long-tail key points":
- Check the matrix number: The IFC code or "West German" text near the center hole of the CD is crucial for identifying "first pressings." The resale value of such editions is often several times higher than regular editions.
- Check the OBI strip: If your CD still retains its original paper OBI strip,its completeness will significantly increase the premium value of the entire record.
- Lyric booklet condition: Is it damp,stuck together,or does it have yellow spots or artist signatures. A well-preserved original lyric booklet is a critical factor for professional appraisal.
