About this record
The matrix runout 200 2451 041 A1 (JF) marks this 1973 Tim Maia self-titled as a Companhia Brasileira De Discos Phonogram pressing from Brazil, not a later reissue. Demand significantly outpaces supply: 2090 collectors want it against 1382 who own one, yet only 17 copies are listed for sale across the market.
The price spread from Mint (269.91 USD) down to Poor (14.21 USD) reflects how heavily condition drives value on this Brazilian soul-funk original.
What drives its value
This Polydor 2451 041 pressing commands 269.91 USD in Mint condition, dropping to 241.50 USD in Near Mint and 184.68 USD in VG+, with a floor of 127.85 USD for VG copies. The want-to-have ratio of 2090 to 1382 signals sustained collector demand that outpaces the 17 copies currently for sale, keeping prices firm across all grades.
As the original 1973 Brazilian pressing on Companhia Brasileira De Discos Phonogram—not a reissue—this catalogue number 2451 041 holds its value better than later editions. The lowest asking price of 2.53 USD reflects heavily damaged stock; serious buyers expect to pay 127.85 USD or higher for playable vinyl.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the Polydor catalogue number 2451 041 on the label and the matrix runout 200 2451 041 A1 (JF) stamped in the dead wax of side A and 200 2451 041 B1 (JF) on side B, both indicating Companhia Brasileira De Discos Phonogram as the pressing plant. The 12-track album contains no barcode, consistent with 1973 Brazilian pressing standards.
Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light for hairline scratches and play-wear; a Mint copy shows no signs of handling, while VG+ copies display light surface marks that do not affect playback. Check the jacket for seam splits, foxing, or water damage, as these directly impact the final grade and market value between 269.91 USD (M) and 127.85 USD (VG).
