Fortunately (for RJ collectors, anyway...?!) no one is currently pressing
shellac discs these days (if they were, I'd cut a blues record...!). It 
MIGHT
be possible to affix a colour photocopy of an RJ label tightly enough to
LOOK authentic...but considering that 78 labels were affixed as a part
of the pressing process, I would doubt that...?!

Now, if they were selling for$2,000,000.00...?!
