[78-L] Okay, this is getting ridiculous

[Cary Ginell]

Although this is indeed scarce, the minimum bid is still 10 times too much. I've seen copies of this go for around $250, with a sealed copy going for $1400. The reason for the scarcity is that Capitol rushed this into production so quickly they neglected to properly note the performing rights organizations (BMI/ASCAP) alongside the song titles. Although some have estimated that only 150 copies of this exist, a more reasonable number would be around 1,000. Still, for the amount of money this will probably bring, you could get a REALLY scarce pre-war blues record. 
That's supply and demand for ya.
