Happy New Year Mr. Hall:

I can't recall where I heard this, but at some point I heard you were a record collector... do you ever look for doo wop or early Rock on 78 RPM records instead of45's?

I love doo wop and rock and roll...but as Lucy Bop will tell you, I'm really a blues man. I prefer 78s to 45s. I have 5 different Robert Johnson 78s and some other goodies. I have been collecting records since 1977. In that year, my PCGS partner Gordon Wrubel and I bought what was then the only know copy of "Stormy Weather" by the Five Sharps. We paid a then record price of $3866. Another copy recently turned up and was sold for $19,000. But we would have done a lot better had we invested in Pop Top Lincoln Cents!!!!!

Thanks,

David
