Crazy priced SHELLAC on EBAY!!

i was wondering how expensive Albini material could have got.
But I guess this might reflect people cleaning out rooms that haven't been accessed in years? though 70+ is quite massively long isn't it?
Not sure how fragile shellac is, its survival while neglected for that length of time is pretty phenomenal .
Just hope nobody goes near it with vinyl cleaning spray cos the surface wipes off as i found out with Yma Sumac material from my grandad in my early teens

yeah, alcohol is a huge no-go for shellac.
the stuff can stand up to time pretty well. it can get moldy & damaged in the wrong temp/humidity conditions, but left in a closet where it's not going to have anything dropped on it, it'll last pretty long (obviously, since ppl collect these things.) very fragile though, very fragile.

I didn't know shellac was made from bug secretions!

Hmm, now this is £26 at the moment.

Guess the final price?

(I am not selling this or interested in buying it, btw)
