Old 78 records

I inherited some old records. It looks like big bands mostly - Harry James, Jimmy Dorsy, Ink Spots, and some with Sinatra. There's even White Xmas with Bing Crossby. I guess there are about 35 records total. Any idea of what these are worth?

Jimmyjoe,

Without knowing exactly what you have or the condition, it's really impossible to hazard a guess. More than likely though if it's an average stack of forties swing-about a buck a record or so, I'd think. Except for the Crosby-every stack of forties records has at least one copy of 'White Christmas, I think it's a legal requirment! :wink:

But honestly check the titles and pressings-you never know, there just might be a gem hidden in there.

Regards,
J.

White Christmas is the most sold recording ever, because it keeps selling on CD collections.
