[78-L] SERIOUS question for y'all folks...?!

Okeh...back over a decade ago I used to buy 78's from Peter G. Leavitt...
eventually, we brokef relations because I was a bit slow in paying a $250 
(+/-)
bill, being severely broke after my LTD cheques ceased to arrive...!

Okeh...IF the above is correct...what happened to this bunch of 
phonorecords?!
Has someone else acquired it...and is in the process of selling off whatever
remains of the collection ( I recall this as being a VERY famous, and VERY
well-known, accumulation of 78-rpm phonorecords...?!)

OR...did the new owner decide to add the gazillion-or-so 78's to his/her/its
personal shellac archive, thus removing them from the resale market?!

Keep in mind that my eventual goal is to own ONE of each and every 78rpm
phonorecord EVER issued...regardless of the musical uselessness of the 
contents
thereof...! This, in fact, MAY eventually necessitate the acquisition of a 
fair
number of classical records...and, worse yet, the purchase of $7-8,000.00
Robert Johnson originals (which are available in a sonically MUCH better
form in CBS reissues...?!)

Any comments to the above (last paragraph exempted...?!)??!
