Subject: [78-L] Amazing Collection of 78s

Just got back from a trip to Salem, Oregon where I was able to look at an 
amazing collection of 78 rpm records.  I found this guy on ebay and figured he 
was close enough to Portland I should go look at his 7" Victor collection.  He 
also had a collection of American Music records (Music Hath Charms), Marconi, 
early 7" Pathe, great early blues, a ton of very old labels I've never seen 
before, a collection of 8" Operaphone records with sleeves, Busy Bees, and on 
and on.  He has a few on ebay now but the collection is immense.  I wanted them 
all, but he is trying to get as much as he can from them on ebay, wouldn't 
entertain any offers.  Oh, well.
 
I don't get to see so many cool records all in one place very often.  He doesn't 
collect, he was just in the right place at the right time and the collection 
fell in his lap.  I ended up getting one of his 7" Victors, 'Coon Band Contest', 
all I could afford.
 
I'll dream about that collection (I hope).  CDB
