Great stuff. 78's like these are tough to find. I have my mom's collection of blues, hillbilly and early rock 'n roll 78's buried in my garage. A few real good ones. My mom was a real hipster in her day. If you collect them, you really need to pick up a copy of "Not for sale at any price". Must have book. Google it. You really need one of these to display your 78's in...

I don't actively collect, but I do have my mother's 45 collection.  She purchased most when first out of high school.. 1955.  Some pretty good music for sure.

I still collect old super 8mm digests. Betamax and VHS players destroyed that industry. Why settle for a 10 minute digest and have to set up projectors and screens if you could get the whole film right on your TV?

Do you still ever project them? I have one old projector that still runs but needs a bulb; I transferred my old personal film to VHS long ago but would love to do it digitally today.

What condition is the record in?

I still have my old Disney Zorro 45 "Out of the night, when the full moon is bright, rides the horseman know as Zorro..."

I never played it but it appears to be in good shape.

The Wolverine Moviemaker Pro will let you convert 8mm film to digital, but no sound.

I have the earlier model that could only convert smaller reels.

I still watch them once in awhile. I actually put a lot of the digests on DVD using a camcorder. Not great quality but it suffices.

She might have some good ones. Elvis on the Sun label, Little Richard on the Specialty label can have some decent value. If they have picture sleeves that is good too. Nothing quite as great as listening to early rock ‘n roll on vinyl.

I played them often as a youngster in the 70's.  Took a few to school so other kids could listen to them... fellow student wanted them more than I and took them home, without my permission.  One was an Elvis

I also collect these. Being a premium collector and a child of the late 1950's, I remember sending those box tops and waiting every day for the mail man. These are pretty elusive. I mean, how many people save the box once they are done with the product? 

Although, I do remember a small comic collection from the 1950's found stored in these.

 I collect tin items and this is my first and favorite piece.  Never seen another coffee tin like it.  My maternal grandfather, born in 1903, was a heck of a marble shooter. A picture of Payton with his parents, sister and younger brother.
