Old blues is the best seller of 78 records. Judy Garland singing “Over The Rainbow” sells for about 15 bucks. Tom & Jerry could be Simon and Garfunkel and sells for between 50-100 bucks. A lot of the big band,Polka and Cowboy stuff might sell for a few bucks. Be carefull shipping 78s,they break very easy.

Our local Saint Vincent De Paul second hand store had a stack of 78s about two feet tall with the original sleeves for 25 cents apiece. After about two months they just threw them in the dumpster. Not a big seller around here.

Yes, some of them are worth thousands. Find a mint original Robert Johnson on Vocalion, and you've got a winner ($10K or more).

Also in demand is early jazz. Generally speaking, the most valuable records are by black artists and groups, both for their musical quality and rarity. They tend to be rarer because the blacks couldn't afford to buy many of them, and ones they did, they played to death.

Early white hillbilly records can be very desirable as well.
