78's from my Grandmas

[darklife]

My grandma passed away a few months ago. After going through her stuff I found a small collection of 78s.

I doubt they are worth much but honestly I don't know. If anything I'd just love to play them on an actual record player and to me that would be worth more than the small sum of money I would probably get out of them.

These shellacs were found in her sheds on her property. Full of the usual grime and age.

I found many sleeves asking to buy war bonds...



Here is a case I found of regular old 78s all in excellent condition..


As you can see many are missing the paper sleeves but the records themselves are in really good shape.

I don't have a way to play them though so I can't honestly judge that they are good to go, but they look smooth and rather good given their age.

I don't plan to sell them soon since I figure they are worth almost nothing. Please tell me if I am wrong. I looked up a few records in worse condition than mine on ebay and they were going for 10-30$ a pop.
I would enjoy hearing them first before I sold them, however I am open to learning about these.

Sorry if this is mediocre to you all as you probably come across these all the time, but to me they are special knowing how they made it through our family all this time.
I do know that it doesn't matter though for collector value. So can someone give me a judgement on value for old cast away 78s and what I can expect?
I just hope they aren't worth less than scrap metal after I find a way to play them and record them to a new medium.

Thanks.
