Valuation for The Night People Tuggie 126

[crescentcityrecords]

Hello all,
I found a copy of The Night People, "ain't gonna happen", Tuggie 126, today and was wondering if anyone would know a range of value for it. It has a minor edge warp that dnap and play grades a solid VG+. Labels are perfect and 45 has nice gloss. Excuse my inexperience posting in this forum...it seems I accidentally uploaded three of the same pictures and now don't know how to delete them.

Congrats on finding an extremely rare record.
Since there only seems to be two copies in collections, maybe three, I would not let it go cheap.
VG+ is a premium grade as well.
Conservative price range $2,000+

and here it is getting spun (almost to the end)

dnap?

That warp looks / responds like a heat warp at the edge, where the tonearm jerks left and back.
In my view, this is more serious than a rolling warp and should factor into the value negatively.
Regular rolling warps can be fixed in most cases via flattening.
Heat warps cannot be fixed or repaired.

I said does not affect playback because the only time the warp affects on the stylus is in the dead wax area. I couldn't figure out a good way to explain it so I posted the clip and directed everyone to view it. The 45 plays through without skiping and the warp does not affect the stylus during playback (in the grooves) of the track itself...can you give me an adjusted value based on seeing the video and hearing the record, along with the fact that it's the only one in the wild that we know of? If you do not want to post the value here you can email me at [email protected]. I sold Vicki Labat on shagg this year...same exact type of warp...not as rare but in demand...$1500.

I apologize for not using the correct term for the warp. I thought all edge warps were called edge warps...again this is the reason I posted the video...so anyone interested could see it demonstrated.

I still think it is in collectible condition despite the heat warp.
If i had the money I would gladly offer 2K for this copy.
I would hang onto it if you do not receive an offer at 2K.
There are other records not as rare that go for more than 2K, or have much higher asking prices. The garage collecting circle is nowhere near the size of the soul collector market, obviously, but you have to beware of the garage guys who tend to pitch low-ball offers on rare garage 45s.

They can and I did it once or twice. Don't you laugh but I put it on a warm electric plate and a heavy pot on it as a weight and it worked ... I must admit it was not a rarity of the highest order, only the William Penn Fyve "Swami" which I bought for 20 $ back in 1979
