“The color variant data aggregates from Discogs user’s adding the release to their collections. The album can be purchased outside of the Discogs Marketplace ecosystem considering users can exclusively use Discogs as their preferred method of cataloging their record collection. Managing collections, no matter how small or large, allows Discogs users to track to things like median value… and who doesn’t like to check up on what their limited edition, red color variant, 2xLP version of Kendrick Lamar’s ‘DAMN.’ is worth?” – Jeffrey Smith, Public Relations and Strategic Partnerships, Discogs
