Pretty good haul today of 78's and early 33's
I purchased 7 large boxes of 78's and some 33's today from an estate. These were meticulously taken care of. Every one of them is pristine. In addition to the 10 pages I posted (there are 3 more pages), I have many cases of all types of classical, gothic, chant, etc on 78's and 33's. These don't really interest me so much and would like to find a good home for them. I intend on keeping the ones that are listed in the images unless there is something there that someone here has been searching for. I can't even begin to list it all. What is the best way to find a good home for these? I'd like to get a small part of what they might be worth in the easiest way possible. It's a beautiful collection. Any ideas?

Look at the handwriting! That was probably some meticulously kept collection, except, sadly, the records, from what I can make out aren't worth very much. Cab Calloway, Benny Goodman, Fred Waring, Jimmy Dorsey, etc. Maybe you could get a nickel per record.Confettihead wrote:I purchased 7 large boxes of 78's and some 33's today from an estate.

That's only because it was pretty near perfect. In average shape, even with the sleeve, that's a $15-$25 record on a good day.Confettihead wrote:And THIS ONE!!! Check out the sale price!

The Bill Haley was an odd one for this collection. Lots and lots of classical collections on 33 and 78, weird stuff like "malleus maleficarum on witchcraft, demonology and exorcism" read by ian richardson, Dylan Thomas poems (I think) read by Dylan Thomas, a flexidisc with a personal message from the king of Jordan from 1970 and lots of jazz collections. So much to sort through. a few other random flexidiscs.Wolfe wrote:What else do you have?Confettihead wrote: Fortunately everything I just purchased, including this one is in near-mint condition.

If you've got some truly nice or unique classical stuff on 78, maybe contact Lawrence Holdridge, give him your list, and see what he says.Confettihead wrote:The Bill Haley was an odd one for this collection.
