Do we buy 78 RPM records?

Yes. We buy 78 RPM records as well. 78s can be a bit like finding a needle in a haystack because many people are not sure what they have, how to sort them, or whether any of them matter in today’s market.

Small or large, we are always willing to discuss your collection with you. Do not throw them out, and do not donate them, without giving us a call first.

Are all 78s valuable? No. Some are much more interesting than others, which is why it helps to sort by genre, age, and overall collection quality.
Do larger 78 collections matter? Yes. Larger collections can be especially worth discussing because even when individual records vary, the overall collection may still matter.
