As you said, ebay's saturation level seems to suggest that they're not worth that much. Condition on them varies greatly. I couldn't find an online price guide for 78s- any ideas? Tell me- when 78s were new, how were they sold? Just a generic paper sleeve? No sleeve? Many of this collection are in themed albums of 4 to 8 78s, and others are simply in generic albums that the original owner must have purchased to put his collection in. Some are in paper sleeves. I still think that there's some hope for the 78s. I've given up hope on the 33s in the collection (not included on the list). There's great jazz in there, but most of it is apparently reissues.
