I'll second that, it is well worth cataloguing. When I discovered discogs I did 10-20 each evening, I really enjoyed the process.
Don't suppose you have any reggae or hip hop do you? @HarmanMogul

More of the former than the latter — I was often around Island Records and as a matter of fact spent a very interesting afternoon one-to-one with Bob Marley at Basing Street Studios. It's a pity that I got so fed up with the cover artwork of Catch-A-Fire (cover flips open like Zippo lighter) that I binned it. Can't be many of those knocking around now.

Definitely worth your time, but it will take quite a lot it. I found when looking for or adding anything like Led Zeppelin, Genesis or Pink Floyd there can be hundreds of different versions of the same release and it takes time to find exactly which one you want/have.
If you’re in no rush it will still be worth the time to catalogue them all and work out which ones you are going to keep and instantly list the ones you want to sell. I found it quite enjoyable and cathartic to catalogue my collection. You get into a bit of a rhythm with it and can obviously listen to stuff you haven’t heard in a while while you do it.
If there’s any that are not worth that much that aren’t worth the effort to sell and post out individually, you could always set those aside and sell as a job lot on here, eBay or take them to a shop.
As a journo you’ve probably got some rare or unusual promos that could be worth quite a bit I’d imagine. Did they come with press releases/promo sheets that you kept?
Got any post-Waters era Floyd (especially singles)?
