Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
My MIL and FIL have about 4 feet of shelf space of old, old 78's in albums. Mostly from their parents. They would like to sell them.
Some are Swedish singers, opera and classical works from the 20's, and some later polka and guy lombardo stuff (33 1/3).
I wrote down a few titles and did some internet searching. Took a long time to locate even a few of the titles. Those were selling for $5 to $25 each.
I could catalog them all, and spend many hours searching, but I'm thinking it might be better to find a collector or dealer and try to sell it all in one shot. Of course, I'd always wonder if there was a $50,000 collector's item in there! They look to be in pretty good condition, but I don't have a 78rpm table to even try them on.
Any hints on how to go about this?
