[78-L] Hail to the sleeve, #2: OPA ceiling prices

[glongwell at snet.net]

I bought some records from a gentlemen on ebay and then we got to trading some things as he wanted one of my Majestic (teens vertical brand) sleeves.  He said he was putting together a book on record sleeves.  This was two years ago.  I wonder how far along he is?

Thanxes muchly! My estimate was off by almost a year, it looks like.In any 
case
we can assume that OPA-price sleeves were only used from 1/1942 until
sometime in 1947; I suspect the ceiling prices for records didn't change 
during
that period?

As well, I dimly recall that somebody was going to create a sleeve-related
web site...?! Am I remembering right...and, if so, did the party ever post
anything useful? It would be a challenge to try and find EVERY different
sleeve...particularly if the different records being promoted were to be
considered as separate varieties!
