[78-L] how rare are records?

[neechevoneeznayou at gmail.com]

I used to think that Berliners were very rare records. I've been 
searching ebay for a while now, and Berliners come up often enough. On 
one occasion there was even a 5" from Germany IIRC. I don't think I have 
seen Monarchs and pre-dogs as often, but this is probably more a 
reflection of my search parameters.

I have seen one 20" Pathe in all the time I have been running searches 
on ebay.

I have never ever seen a Black Patti offered.

Is this experience representative of how rare these records are?

If so, 20" Pathes are more rare than 7" Berliners. Black Pattis are most 
rare of those listed here.
