I don't collect them but still have around 100 albums form the 60's and early 70's. Haven't listened to them for years. Mainly Rolling Stones, Beatles, and Deep Purple type music.

I collect casually. I have a few sports records including my favorite Denny McClain at the organ.

I find it surprising (and disappointing!) that 45's of Elvis, Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis and just about all of the old original "rockers" from the '50's aren't worth more $$.
Unless you have one that is just about mint & unplayed, or some kind of radio station promo copy, they are a hard sell at more than a couple of $$. I guess more people bought & saved more records than they did baseball cards!

We can still look at the BB cards but how many people still have record players to listen to the albums.

I still have a record player. (And cassette, and 8 track that can do quad ) And have access to players for really old vertical cut records like Edison and Pathe, plus cylinders, either 2 or 4 minute. But not the big "opera" cylinders. Sadly most were actually opera music and my friend who's into them isn't interested in opera.
I have a bit of old vinyl, and some 78's. I wasn't really into collecting, but did pick up some stuff along the way. The popular stuff sold a LOT of copies, and since it was entertainment loads of it got saved. I'll still pick up some at yard sales once in a while, or from thrift shops. Steve B |

I buy/sell records some time when I can find older JAZZ. Some bring some good money.
Most records from big name groups/bands from almost any time in the past don't move well if at all and margins are small. Postage holds back many sells. And packaging (pizza type) boxs take up a lot of room to have on hand. As for 45s Elvis early Sun Records always sell. |

Yeah John, and for BIG bucks! I think Elvis only had 2 Sun 45 releases before he went to RCA. I have Jerry Lee, Johnny Cash & Carl Perkins on original Sun label 45's. Steve-- I think it's a national law that you MUST HAVE vinyl albums of Herb Alpert as a prerequisite to having a garage sale! ![]()
