Well, out here in Skae's Corners, C.W., I have an ACTUAL 50,000 (probably
closer to 53,000...?!) 78rpm phonorecords...about 3/4 (+/-) came with, and
still "wear," sleeves...! Since the records only "abrade" one another, and 
thus
generate wear, should I be searching for a given phonorecord...well, we can
calculate here...?!

The odds are about 1 out of 53000 (actually less, since about a quarter of
that 53000 are records which NOBODY...myself included...will EVER
want to hear...?!)...so let's say 1 out of 40000...that any given 
phonorecord
will be required...?!

Now, these phonorecords are stored...about 125/130 per milk box...in about
a gazillion (more/less) "milk boxes"...with about 70% stored in label & 
number
order (however, thanxes to a bunch of hopelessly-incompetent "mover-
wannabes," the boxes are NOT in order (as they once were...?!)!

Ideally, I should have EVERY OTHER record in a sleeve...so that records
contact paper rather than OTHER phonorecords...?!
