Now as far as "first 78 acquired" this is different! My father had some 300 
or so 78's (which I inherited by
default...no one else wanted them...!). I was allowed to play them as a VERY 
young child (of 4 or so); one
of my favourites was a Brunswick of the Mills Brothers "Good-Bye Blues" (as 
well as his album-set reissues
of the Boswell Sisters!) I still own all of these (and MANY more!!). Among 
the first 78's I bought
(about 25 at a flea market) was the Columbia of Guy Lombardo's "Sweethearts 
On  Parade;" this set
me looking for more 20's/early 30's Lombardo discs...!
