You're speaking of classical records...which I DON'T collect...?! I suspect
that classical 78's are an avenue to important (to their collectors?) 
performances
of musical works which have NO "best until" dates...?! I collect (well, 
accumulate?!)
"popular" 78's...! The applicable question then becomes "Is a particular 
recording
of a standard classical piece 'important' in a musical sense? If so...why?!"
