Paul-- thank you for posting the helpful article.
Clark-- the condition of the 78's from the Boston Collection are quite
good-- I am guessing they did not circulate, but they are not mint.
We have a uncoming collection from a distributor, so they are mint.
They are from the 40's and early 50's. So looking forward to those as
well.
We are looking for the best we can get.
onward!
