[78-L] Instant Karna

[Michael Biel]

It is still the first day of the new year, but I think that I have 
already done my good deed for the year.  I just got an email that was 
sent to a half dozen old time radio experts by another OTR expert who 
was answering someone who had turned up about 150 ETs and wanted to know 
if there was any value.  Most seem to be government public service 
programs from the 50s which really don't have much value, and that is 
what the expert correctly told the guy.  But there were scans of three 
discs attached.  The first one was one of the 1956 March of Dimes discs 
with Johnnie Ray, Crew Cuts, and Count Basie which might be one of the 
ones I have.  Not worth more than a few bucks.   The second one was 
episode 15 of the Clyde Beatty program, all of which is in circulation.  
Likewise.  The third one was a 1957 March of Dimes ET, matrix 
GM-8M-0657.  Interviewed on it is Jill Cory and Andy Williams.  Yawn.  
AND ELVIS PRESLEY.  I could have lied, but I told him (and the others in 
this group) that this disc is worth many thousands of dollars. 

OK.  So I didn't find a wallet in a cab and returned it to the owner.  
But isn't this the same thing?
