This question is difficult to answer. Several factors make a record valuable with collectors. One is how rare the record was-- if it was widely available, it probably won't be worth much to collectors. Another is what condition the record is in-- if it's not in good condition, that will affect its value. And a third is whether it is autographed by the performer, or is in some way unique. The best thing to do is go over to a site like eBay and see how much these particular LPs are being sold for; that may give you some idea of what the value is.
Buddy Holly was born on September 7, 1936 and died on February 3, 1959. Buddy Holly would have been 22 years old at the time of death or 78 years old today.
I have a collection of New Testament 78 records. Are they worth anything or should i throw them away?
I heard about one that went for (I think) close to $4,000. And yes, they did release some 78 RPM's. They were for the Indian market since some of their villages didn't have electricity yet and had to rely on hand-cranked turntables.
They stopped making 78 RPM records because they became outdated and technology was advancing. After the 78 RPM records of the 1900's, the 33 1/3 RPM records were created.
It would really depend on the records, and on what condition they are in. Some of his 78 rpm recordings are not difficult to find, and they would not be worth very much; where others are more collectible because they are much more rare, especially if they are in good shape. Check on Ebay to see what some of his records are selling for, and that should give you an idea. But a quick look at several rare records sites showed prices ranging from $8 to about $40.

Buddy Hackett died on June 30, 2003 at the age of 78.
Big Band 78's are not worth that much because they are very common, especially if they're from the 1940's. There are exceptions, of course. Picture discs and autographed copies may be worth something. Rock & Roll and R & B from the 1950's have value depending on the label. Early Rock & Roll records that are "For Radio Play Only" are HOT.
Look on Ebay and see if there is anything like this selling and you can get an idea.
To identify 78 records, look for vinyl records that are 10 inches in diameter and have a speed of 78 RPM (revolutions per minute). They are typically made of shellac and often have a distinctive label indicating the recording artist and song title. Additionally, the grooves on 78 records are wider and more pronounced compared to modern vinyl records, which helps in distinguishing them. If the record has a label with a catalog number, that can also aid in identifying its specific release.
To find the value of 78 records, you can start by assessing their condition, rarity, and demand within the market. Research recent sale prices for similar records online through platforms like eBay or Discogs to gauge their worth. Additionally, consider consulting with a local record dealer or appraiser for a professional evaluation. This approach will give you a comprehensive understanding of their potential value.

The most common ones, the 10" records, plays 3 minutes, but there are slight differences between records. *************** Yep! 12-inch a little over 4 minutes. Now before the 78 speed was standard and the sizes of the records were standardized it was all over the place. There were all kinds of experiments in speed and record size to get more time on a record. But by the late teens and around 1920 the 78 speed and 10-inch or 12-inch records was standard.
