78s??

[NIS]

So, here is my dumb, waste your time question for the day. My mother sent some 78s home with me some time ago. Titles by the likes of Woody Herman, Stan Kenton, Louis Jordan and of coarse Doris Day. Is it worth my while trying to come up with a sale price or just take a ride to the Salvation Army thrift store? I can't imagine they are in great condition.

I probably already know the answer. Thanks.

You do know the answer.

Yep. The vast majority of 78s aren't worth anything, although I own and enjoy some of the worthless variety.

Twice, while searching antique stores for 78s, I've come across albums with 10 extremely common 78s - Bing Crosby, Glenn Miller, etc., with a price of 90 - 100 dollars for the album.

Thanks guys.

I have a few Dial, Guild, Aladdin, Jade etc. picked up just for fun. One of the Guilds from a beautifully kept estate collection (ex DJ?)is signed by Slam Stewart, and an Aladdin from the same collection by the President himself...

Sentimental value.
