Me too. I have about the same amount in the same categories. I probably have some rare LPs that I do not even realize. The most desirable one that I know of is the first edition of John Coltrane's Ascension. Apparently they did two takes. They mistakenly released the take he did not like as well first. He realized it right away and had the presses stopped but a few got out. The second edition is not easy to find, but not nearly as tough as the first edition. This was Coltrane's big band outside jazz experiment. Pure genius IMHO.
I would also love to have more rare Tibetan manuscripts, but have not actively pursued them. This one is about 150 years old. It is a collection of poems by one of Tibet's most revered mystics, Milarepa. It is known as The 100,000 Songs of Milarepa.
Apologies my scanner was not long enough to capture an entire page.
