78Auctions
Alan Cooperman Record Auction
Cooperman puts out an on-line auction listing 4 times a year. Although emphasizing jazz 78s, there’s a lot of dance bands, vocalists, European bands, and usually some klezmer. Emphasis on music from the ’20s and ’30s.
David A. Reiss
One of the few “paper” auctions remaining. Reiss’s auctions emphasize jazz and dance bands from the ‘20s and ‘30s, with classical, ethnic, blues, and foreign music also included.
Mark Berresford’s Rare Records
Nauck’s Vintage Records
The gold standard of 78 auctions, Kurt Nauck puts out a beautiful auction catalog 2 times a year, devoted to records and cylinders of all types of music from the 1890s thru 1950s.
VJM (Vintage Jazz Mart)
Founded in England in 1953 (!), VJM features articles on jazz and dance bands (European and American) from ‘20s and 30s, with auctions by longtime 78 collectors. Originally devoted to jazz and dance band 78s, it now is an excellent auction source of high-quality blues 78s.
