[78-L] Good quality, 78 rpm album jackets at Half-Price Books

For what 1/2 price charges for 78s sometimes, it may be worth it to buy 
some albums just for the albums. I have bought some record containers 
that way. I've seem collectors buy large assortments of transcriptions 
not for the records, but for the sleeves if they are in decent enough shape.
