How many do you own?

up

[sidewinder]

I buy them when they get to 'last chance'. -_-

Major strategic rethink ahead, methinks..

[Bright Moments]

up - i am up to 40

Slippery slope, my man !

um and i have all the selects and singles

up to 75 big black boxes now!

[sidewinder]

Congrats !

[John Tapscott]

We should do an update. I see back in 2004 I had 36 sets, including 1 Select. Probably twice that now, especially since I've bulked up on Selects. But definitely some more black boxes, too.

[Dave James]

I last posted on this thread in 2004. At that point, I had 68 black boxes. Looks like It's been a fairly fruitful six years, Mosaic-ly speaking. As of today:

86 OOP black boxes

9 OOP Selects

25 In-print black boxes

8 In-print Selects

Grand total: 128

[JETman]

Grand total for me is 117.

[king ubu]

Another 20+ vote. I have 30+, I think. No selects, so far. Too lazy to count them.

50 now... waiting for the Herman Capitol...

8 Selects (Weston, Green, Brookmeyer, Amy, Williams, Tyner, 2x Hill)

1 Single (Wiley)

That's scary, so many more in just 3 years... an a few hundred other discs, and a dozen or more other box sets...

69 big suckers

23 Selects

9 Singles

again three more years gone by... the additional Selects mostly happened because of the great mosaic catastrophe that took place in the meantime...

[Fred]

137 big boxes plus 13 selects and 5 singles is now the grand total.

[sidewinder]

I'm now at 130 big boxes. I've slowed down.

Selects up at 25. Singles - around a dozen.

You wouldn't happen to be THE 'Fred' would you?

[brownie]

I was an early convert in the Mosaic faith!

The box total count is around 50 now.

65 boxes by now!

Two more should come soon

[ejp626]

What would we do without the internet to normalize our habits. See, honey, there are at least 10 people out there with more Mosaics than I have...

I'm trying to think how many I've bought since 2007, 4 of the big boxes (will get the new Ellington in 2011) and maybe 5 Selects (only one of which I ultimately hung onto). So fairly restrained...

[mikelz777]

29 total made up of 6 Selects and 23 of the big boxes, 13 of which are -gasp- CDRs which were sets that were out of print at the time I acquired them. That'll probably be it for me. I can't think of anything out there in or OOP right now that I'd actively seek out. Right now I have my eye on a handful of Bear Family box sets which are even more expensive than the Mosaics! Yikes!

[kh1958]

Now up to 48 black boxes and 18 Selects.

[mellowT]

I've got:

49 black box sets, 12 of those still in print, and an additional 10 sets in CD-R format

15 selects, 6 of those still in print, and 4 more as CD-Rs

7 singles

[John Tapscott]

47 black box sets (plus 2 more on CDR); 19 Selects & 7 singles

No, I'm not *that* Fred

[AllenLowe]

you know, Mosaic ought to make some contributions to support this place - it looks like thousands of dollars from Organissimo-ites, if I guess correctly.

as for me, I have none - I, like Pete, tend to avoid boxes (except the ones I put out) -

though, on the other hand, I sure would like the Benedetti/Bird box. It is almost Christmas, if you guys are wondering what I want........

No person "owns them". You are just the current custodian.

As I get older, I recognize how much truth there is in that statement.

Just now, having won an Ebay auction for the CD version of the Art Hodes box, I have ALL the CD sets and all the LP-only ones except for 9 titles (the Miles Davis ones). Hoooray! ;-)

That means that I have 142 big black boxes on 151, plus several selects and singles.

I'm at 38 right now. Gladly, my outbreak of Mosaicmania passed a couple of years ago, so I've only bought 5 sets in the past two-an-a-half years.

I'm now down to three sets, I discovered that I was just looking at them on a shelf, so I traded them in. It had become a "thing" for me to get each set, so I said "enough is enough." Don't miss them either.

[miles65]

With the arrival of Coleman Hawkins:

57 big boxes

7 selects

7 singles

And I also have the contents of 17 sets in an other form like the Miles Davis sets.
