tbh it all depends on what kind of music it is and from what years!
shipping 78s is a tricky proposition and gets pretty heavy because they're expensive.
but if there are country 78s, especially pre-war stuff, that is of the most interest to me. if you see a box of henry townsend and furry lewis records or something crazy like that, you know to buy it already. i also know folks who collect hawaiian, polish, irish etc.

i mean... gets pretty expensive cuz they're heavy. not the other way around.

The few times I bought 78s on Ebay, they were received cracked or hairlined :( Bad luck.

Just watched Penny Serenade (1941) and loved watching Cary Grant leave the music shoppe with 27 78s wrapped in brown paper and tied with string under his arm. Then was reminded that my victrola is in storage six long hours away.

They must have some really great stuff in that collection, happy hunting!

I got the time off of work! Right after payday too. I think this is pretty under-publicized (I learned about it through my radio station's newsletter) so I have high hopes.
