[78-L] Operatic Collectors

[Stewart, Joseph R]

Earl Okin asked:
Are there among us, or do you know of any collectors of operatic 78s. We were the first collectors of 78s, even before WW2.

I'm not prepared to get into the "who started collecting shellac first?" question (because I have no idea), but to answer Earl's original question, I collect almost exclusively operatic/vocal 78s.
