This is by far the rarest of any Rodgers Bluebird, and rarer than most of his Victors as well, because it wasn't issued until after his death in 1933, in the worst record selling year of the Depression. It never shows up on auction lists and would likely bring several hundred dollars, if not more, if it ever was listed. Bluebird wasn't just a reissue label; there were many original issues in the 1930s that are desperately scarce: hot jazz, blues, country, and Cajun. It's one of my favorite labels.

Incidentally, the Rodgers has been reissued on Frog DGF72 (Earl McDonald 
& The Great Louisville jug Bands 1924-1931) along with unissued take -1.
