	mikeebean Victrola VV-XVI Member since Jan 2021 3 Points	I recently acquired several boxes of 78s, all the boxes were musty from a damp basement. (I was able to clean nearly all the records and put them into plastic sleeves.) However the paper record sleeves with Victrola advertising on them, and two books smell very moldy. I feel guilty tossing them. Is there any value to saving them in a bag, or maybe scan them and toss the originals? The books are: - "Rare Record Auction Catalog" January 31, 1977 from Jazz Record Co. in Hicksville NY, and - "78 RPM Records & Prices" by Peter A. Soderbergh, Ph.D. May 1977 Second Printing (I see there are many copies of this book for sale online.) Any thoughts would be appreciated! Michael Edited by mikeebean on 28th Mar 2023, 8:54 AM
