I have some really old 78 phonograph records. Where on the web (or anyplace else) might I find their value?

Question

Some of them have Red (color) Columbia Labels, most are black labels, from approximately 1920's to 1950's. All have Jackets, not always matching the record's label. Not all have Columbia Label. One label even states not to be used for radio broadcasts. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I had some old 78s and I used ebay as a reference guide to see what they are going for.

Answer 2

There were literally hundreds of millions of 78 RPM records produced, and it is quite unusual to find ANY 78 record that sells for more than a couple of dollars. In fact, in most cases, they are bought and sold at auction by the boxload, at very low prices. Records that MAY have some serious value would include very early (pre-1905) records (these are one-sided records, usually with a license sticker on the blank side), picture discs, or an occasional rare release. As a reference, even very rare Victor or Columbia records seldom sell for more than $20. There are a number of good websites on 78 RPM records.

basic and easy, Q: do you have a microphone?, sure?, ok plug it into your pc, you are able to now use many procedures to checklist track on your pc, and listed right here are some: a million.you need to use the "Sound Recorder" out of your start up>courses>upload-ons>Sound Recorder application, this is of corse when you plug your Mic and once you hit checklist, you play the phonograph. yet some circumstances the Sound Recorder would not checklist that long term. 2.After plugging the Mic, you need to use a valid "recording/modifying" application Like (Adobe Audition) Or (Cool Edit) Or (Sonic Acid professional)and so on..., and the technique is often a similar after working this methodology locate the checklist command, and then start up the phonograph. after recording the track, this methodology aspects alot of Saving concepts, Like .Wav, OR .MP3..... report sort. properly Bingo, that's that.....

I have seen them sold on ebay from time to time. You may want to check there and see what prices people are paying.

I have some of those nasty old things too. They sound terrible...even when processed by various programmes to remove noise.

One has an interesting label, "Sonora...clear as a bell"....that would be NOT!
