I have been collecting vintage children's records since
1991. My collection is the largest of its type in
the world! Even though I had been collecting many other
"things" (baseball cards, Big Little Books, Golden Age comic books,
stamps, coins, juvenile series books,etc.) the 78 rpm children's records quickly
became the most rewarding. Every other collection I was
compiling had already been heavily "price-guided". "Virgin"
finds were almost impossible and prices were going higher
and higher. When I bought my first kiddie record, it was
because I saw it in a used record store and nostalgically remembered it
from childhood. When I went to the library to find a price guide to see
what it was worth and to get a list of other records to
look for, to my surprise there was nothing published. I
started taking out "wanted to buy ads" in antique newspapers,
flea market magazines, etc., and I was literally swamped
with responses. People had these records sitting in their
attics, garages and basements but didn't know what to do with them.
There was no established hobby yet.
So I decided to become an "expert" by getting to know what
existed. I have now published the first ever "Complete Guide To Vintage Children's Records" (Collector Books). It is available directly
from me elsewhere on this Website.
I actively buy, trade, and sell kiddie 78-rpm records. And
copyright permitting, I offer custom CDs and MP3 of any record in my collection
NOTE: These CDs are intended for personal use only, and not for commercial reissue.
Since I have over 12,500 vintage records in my collection,
the chances are more than excellent that I have just the
one you might be looking for. See the 'Order CDs and MP3s page on
my Website for further details on pricing, etc.
Thanks for visiting. Enjoy!
