Discover What Your Records Are Actually Worth You're standing in front of a dollar bin with a record in your hand. Is it worth five dollars or five hundred? Crate tells you in seconds. Photograph the record or pick a shot from your library, and get the release, the pressing and a price estimate back before you decide whether to buy it. What Crate Does Identify the exact pressing Artist, album, year and format, plus which pressing you are actually holding. A first press and a reissue are not the same record, and Crate tells them apart. Full release details Label, catalog number, genre, country, weight and special edition notes, plus the complete tracklist by side with running times. A price that follows condition Instead of one flat number, you grade the disc and the sleeve yourself on the standard collectors actually use, and the estimate adjusts to match. A grading guide built in Not sure whether that's VG+ or NM? The in-app guide walks through what separates the grades, so you're not guessing. Your collection, saved Every record you scan stays on your shelf. Note what you paid and where you bought it, then come back later to see how the estimate has moved. Short guides for the rest How to identify pressings, what actually makes a record valuable, how to grade condition, and how to store a collection so it keeps its value.
