How rare is this Beatles item?
My girlfriend's mother recently gave me a box set of 14 Beatles LPs, pressed by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab. The box reads "The Beatles - The Collection," and contains a booklet and a GeoDisc for aligning cartidges, I believe. The book is numbered 1256. Everything in the set is flawless. I'm just curious as to the scarcity and possible value of this item.

i've seen that sell for upwards of $800 on ebay. sometimes more, depending on the condition + original items still present. there's another box, which isn't by MoFi that sells for $250-350 dollars.
i wish my girlfriend's mother would give me a gem like that!

That's a great set. Those LPs also sound far better than the current Beatles CDs.

are they all in mono? and is the actual sound quality better, or are they better just because they aren't the horrible stereo masters.
