Top ten 78's on eBay

Since I'm always dogging '78s, here's a compilation of the top 10 78's sold on eBay in the last 2 weeks.
1)3000 classical 78's $3269
2)Robert Johnson Terraplane Blues 1276
3)Bix Beiderbeicke 1927 Okeh master 1259
4)Sam Kelly Ramblin' Around Blues on Von 1226
5)Frankie Yankovic polka on Jolly 515 915
6)Frankie Yankovic polka on Jolly 509 915
7)Elvis Presley Sun 217 900
8)Beatles I Want to Hold Your Hand (Phillipines)899
9)Beatles All My Loving (Phillipines) 899
10)Beatles Can't Buy Me Love (Phillipines) 899

A Sun Elvis of Mystery Train went for 850. Can't be surprised at the Robert Johnson, but jeez, the Bix? Yeah, it'a unique piece for sure, but it's Bix. Frankie's moving on up, Elvis- well, no surprise there. Of course, the Beatles 78's always do well for all you completists out there.

Happy Hunting!
