    78 Record - Bing Crosby

    Does anybody know if a 78rpm with Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" is worth anything? The b-side is "Let's start the new year right.

    It's on Decca.

    Rolf, my guess is that the value would be pretty low. There were probably hundreds of thousands of that release pressed, and there are relatively few 78 collectors now. I am frequently amazed at the quantities of nice 78s that are still available in antique malls and thrift shops.

    P.S.. I just searched on GEMM and found only one listing for what you have, offered at $5.50...

    Thanks Steve. After a few phone calls I found out the same.

    Think I keep it as a memory of my mother and father.
