Phonoland

Ive got a collection of 150+ vinal records and need help finding someone who wants to buy individual or lot as some are rare to the point of no pictures that i can find or described as rare,should i hold onto these is now a good time too sell i will await the wisdom off the experts and would be brilliant if could get some feedback on some as there amazing as far as i can tell unbroken in beautiful steam punk style vinyl protect's all real no copies
I have put up picture of what i think is rarest 3 A sample not for sale gramophone record with white label,pink label
and a black label so many have lot's of pic's zonophone green's a couple....what should i do?

we cannot tell much by the 3 photo's, other than they seem to be concert/ classical 12" 78's ( they are not made of vinyl). If you listed all of them, maybe someone could place a value...

Ok as requested started making a huge list but with so many maybe just put a few up for now and keep working on it while you have a look hope its in way you can read,condition should be easy as P,A,G,VG,E,M
Poor,Average,Good,Very Good,Exellent,Mint.
Also added any numbers on disc label where appropriate

I dont know if i should sell them how or how much i looked for store in my area but none so far or collector's with so many i want to take time and look after them if its a worthwhile investment for me because even i can tell they have never been played and base all my condition on what i know from book's.They were originally an investment for the steampunk cover's as i really like old collectable's but were more of a gift from someone who had them handed down from her family and said i would take care of them and i have.All have sleeves styling brown carboard and paper with original advertising on and newspaper clippings and note's on artist attached on some.I dont take them out the sleeves and there heavy like no cardboard box was ever built that can handle a few dozen whoever delivered record's in 1900's must have been built like a bull.I think there fantastic and where as i have found auction list's the rarity of them mean's i find odd one but not mine and thought too myself i need help and forum's have always been good places before in unusual circumstance's and this is one of them.....????....ebay auction 99p each i dunno...all of them are unplayed and from a collector if the markets no good i can understand and i will invest in storage for another 50 year's and maybe my grandchild will turn up here and say HELP HELP EXPERT NEEDED---Heavy Mp3 disc's old ?????

These records are not rare. They are mainly from England which may be why the labels look unusual to you. Although the music can be great to listen to, classical and opera are the least desirable to collectors. Even in top condition they would sell for not more than $2 - $3 each. Early blues and Jazz are the hot items for 78s.
