Then do as I did (if you haven't already) & slow down on your record 
collecting!!!! I've pretty much stopped accepting collections of 
records after I picked up a few thousand 78's, 45's & LP's 2 months 
ago that I haven't even gone though. Nothing really valuable in the 
78's though. Just the usual 30's & 40's era swing plus pop music. I 
did buy some LP's & 45's at a resale shop I hadn't been to before. 
Just walked in & asked if they had any records. Spent $30 & walked 
out with a big handful of LP's (about 3 inches worth) and a few 45's. 
Basically I cleaned out 98% of the classical they had plus took a few 
country LP's.  Still go to the Austin Record Show every 6 months plus 
I go through the small number of Houston record collector shops about 
once a year. Oh & I buy some off the bay (the auction site) every 
once in awhile too. So yes I'm accumulating more records of all 3 
speeds just not as fast as I used to mainly because I'm running out 
of storage space to put them.
