The world’s largest record collection is unsellable
The Archive from Sean Dunne on Vimeo.
Paul Mawhinney was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA. Over the years he has amassed what has become the world’s largest record collection. Due to health issues and a struggling record industry Paul is being forced to sell his collection.
The collection is estimated to be worth 50 million; his asking price is 3 million. He’s received no serious offers.
Shouldn’t this be a national treasure?
