I have looked around this forum and others, but decided this one would be the best to get an answer to my question. I am new to this forum so please forgive me if this thread is in the wrong place.
When I started collecting, I soon realized that I could fill a room very quickly. So, I decided that, when I got a disc, to put the disc in one of those thin CD/DVD cases and to store the original case separately. That way, I could store at least twice as many discs in the same space.
Over the years, I have collected nearly 2500 discs with roughly the same number of original cases. Even though I am storing the original cases in my attic, I am finding that space is getting tight. If I decide to downsize my house some day, storing those cases could be rough.
Basically, my question involves the value of my collection, but with a twist. I know how much I have paid for my collection. My question is whether the value is in the physical disc or in the original case that the disc came in. If the value is in the disc, I can consider whether to trash the cases.
Thanks for any advice.
