Vinyl record value checker & scanner
Scan a cover and label and Minti identifies the artist, pressing, and label, tells first pressings from reissues, and shows what it's worth from Discogs and live eBay listings. Catalog your crates and sell your doubles.
How much is your vinyl record worth?
The same album can be worth a few dollars or a few hundred depending on the pressing and condition. Minti values every record against Discogs and live eBay listings, matched to your exact pressing, so an original mono, a rare colored variant, or a common reissue each get a number grounded in current market data.
- Live value from Discogs and live eBay listing comps
- Pressing-aware pricing, matched by label and catalog number
- Price history with Pro across 7-day, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, and 1-year windows
First pressing or reissue?
The value is in the pressing, and Minti reads it. It identifies the artist, title, label, and catalog number to distinguish first pressings from repressings and reissues, and records media and sleeve condition on the Goldmine scale so your value reflects the real copy in your hands.
- Recognizes LPs, singles, and colored variants across eras
- Separates original pressings from later reissues
- Auto-fills artist, title, and condition so your entry stays clean
