I still have Great Grandma's crank phonograph player with ballpoint size needle and the super thick records. I still play it every now and then. Grandkids think it is a hoot.

Try contacting Jim McGreevey. 352-697-0087. He bought some of our records recently.
He also is a performer around The Villages area of 50's & 60's doo wop oldies music.

I have to but them on the drive and my neighbors who were interested took them. No one was interested in purchasing.

There are always valuable items in all categories of collectibles , these are the rarities that you hear about once every several years like the inverted airplane postage stamp. The OP has 78's and 45's very, very, very few in that category have values like you noted here.
