I hate those 78 albums too,  Sammy.    The worst and most fragile in my 
experience are Deccas.  Best are big,  chunky laminated red Columbias...like 
my "Night at the Stork Club" with Sonny Kendis and his Orch.  Highly 
recommended to all you dance band fans,  in or out of the dance band closet! 
Muted trumpet person is clearly an admirer of Ziggy Elman.

Worst...I don't have room at present to store the damn things so all my 78 
album sets (and 99% of my 12" 78s) are still in storage...but I do have 
Night at the Stork Club handy at all times for some happy spinning.
