xiphophilos 19th May 2023		According to John Bolig, "The Victor Black Label Discography: 22000, 23000, 24000, V-38000, V-38500, and V-40000 Series", the release date was not Nov. 25, 1931 (that's only the recording date of both titles), but January 15, 1932.



xiphophilos 19th May 2023		Indeed, which is why I personally would not base prices on "My Opinion." Yes, this is relatively rare compared to many of the records from the late 1940s and early 1950s that one sees everywhere. At the same time, given that this came out during the middle of the Depression, this record sold surprisingly well. Obviously, it's not as common as Bing Crosby 78s, but since the orchestra is no household name and most collectors nowadays don't care that much for 1932 pop music, it is also not very much sought after. I personally have several records in my collection that I bought for 50 cents within the last ten years and that sold fewer than 2500 copies when they came out. The demand for them is as low as 100 years ago, so I would say they are probably still worth no more than 50 cents. Looking at the three Dick Robertson' Victors on Discogs, one of which is this record, none of them has ever been sold on that marketplace. A Canadian version in V- quality is currently on offer for $6. That seems a reasonable offer to me, but no one has taken the seller up on it in 2 years. With the copy of Victor 22868 that sold on Ebay in November 2019, it took 6 months before someone came around who was willing to invest $20 in it. Another similar Peter van Steeden/Dick Robertson record, Victor 22856, languished for almost 3 years on Ebay before someone picked it up for $20.



Mike Gann 19th May 2023		Per DAHR, this record sold 12960 copies, so it's not exactly "quite rare".
