Old 78 RPM records
Posted: Wed Sep 14, 2005 2:35 pm
I'm in the process of cleaning out the garage, and found two boxes full of old 78 RPM records. They're bound in books, and include:
Prokofiev Peter and the Wolf - BSO/Koussevitzky
Strauss Waltzes - Bruno Walter/Felix Weingartner cond.
Tschaikowsky Sym. 6 - Berlin/Furtwängler
South Pacific - Mary Martin/Ezio Pinza
Brahms 2 - NBC Sym./Toscanini/Horowitz
Tschaikowsky ConcertoNo. 1 - Toscanini/Horowitz
Glazounow Violin Concerto in A Minor - Jascha Heifetz
Tschaikowsky Nutcracker - Philadelphia/Stokowski
Schubert 8 - BSO/Koussevitzky
Rachmaninoff Paino Concerto 2 - Philadelphia/Stokowski/Rachmaninoff
There are also a few other oddballs thrown in as well. Labels are things like "RCA Victor Red Seal Records", "Columbia Masterworks", etc. Condition, from 1 to 10, I'd put most of the sleeves around 7 or 8, the records themselves around 9 or 10.
My questions - what might they be worth, and where would I sell records like these? EBAY? Collector's groups?
Thanx in advance for your time...
