<p>[QUOTE="Linny, post: 3980274, member: 19925"]I do celebrate Christmas and the records are my collection of original Sun Records 78 RPM shellac Elvis Presley's recordings. All five records he recorded under contract for Sun Records before Sam Phillips sold his contract to RCA. I bought these from the lady who purchased them originally new as a young teenager and is now almost 80 years old. They were bought in my home state Texas in the mid-fifties and I was the second person to own them. When I first saw them, I couldn't believe I was seeing the whole collection in that kind of condition. She remembered what she paid for them back in the 50s and she asked me if they would be worth $100 a piece. I could have given her $500 and walked away with all 5 but instead I asked her to sit down so I could tell her the value. She had no hesitancy carrying them and showing them before I told her how much they were worth. After that neither one of us wanted to pick them up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
