Jan, Nice site. Sorry to have to correct you on the Panic reference. Mad Magazine started out as a comic book in 1952 called Mad for its first 23 issues and became a magazine thereafter to the present day. Panic (a companion to Mad) ran for 12 issues simultaneously starting in 1954 and then stopped. Both were published by E.C. comics. For lots of Mad information you and your viewers might want to drop by my site at www.madcoversite.com.

Good presentation. I have recently obtained over 200 45 records in great condition, some never played. Sarah Vaughan, The Ames brothers, Patti Page, Doris Day,Dana Washington,Eddie Fisher,Louis Armstrong etc. All 40's and 50's.I would like to find out if I should keep them or sell them to collectors or just throw them out.It would help if I knew what the approximate value of these may be. Is there a site or book that would help me to determine that? I would appreciate any assistance at all. Thank You, Ernie D.

good info: happy to see someone collects vinyl records! iv been at it since the 60s but only collect rock 60s 70s. u.k u.s.canada, and aussie. with a few german issues! I found digging into goodwill or salvation army records pays off as iv found a few sealed new beatles lps (no bar codes) and some rare mint promo 45s and lps ! though have to say , its one out of 10 times or more that find something worth while! you said in other video about 45s, not worth much ! well some are not but a few are worth big money! promos and test pressings and the rare picture sleeve 45s and Eps.. in mint condition! your right the price depends on the market! what people or buyers are willing to pay! but its refreshing hearing and seeing another true collector ! thanks

Jan's advice is priceless! She sure knows her stuff. I wish I could meet her in person!

WOW are you kidding me an Antique {expert}? Avon is not a sprint only collector"s should even be allowed to give advice on the price of any item. {But this is the internet} TIP: stick to what you know The word Antique implies that the item should be around 100 year's old. pick up one of your book's and look up the california purfume co. Thats something you should know anything only gets better with age!!!

There are 4 different 'states' of a Butcher cover. 1st State is where nothing has been stuck over, or 'pasted' over the origina Butcher slick. Only a handful of these still exist - a couple still even sealed - and can sell for anything up to $7,000 mono and $15,000 stereo. 2nd State is where the 'Trunk' slick has been pasted over the Butcher and has not been peeled off. Because there are only a limited number of these as more and more people peel them their numbers are seriously dwindling. Mono copies can sell for up to $300-400 and stereo up to $800, although top notch sealed ones can sell for a lot more. 3rd State is where the Trunk slick has been peeled to reveal the Butcher underneath (like the copy you have there. The glue residue and trunk remains down the left give that away) are now worth less because there are now more of them than there are 2nd states. Top peels can sell for around $300 mono and up to $700-800 stereo. Finally, 4th state. This is your standard Trunk pressing with nothing underneath. Then there's the Livingstone 1st State Butchers, but I won't go into them there but get a stereo one of them with the original letter and you're looking at over $20,000. Please don't bang the LP on the table like that. The force will split the bottom seam and, if that's a 2nd state, would seriously diminish the value. You can tell if a copy of the album has a Butcher underneath by looking on the right hand side. If there's a Butcher underneath you can see the V of Ringo's Butcher Smock just about visible through the Trunk slick. Sometimes the Butcher slick is poking down an edge of the Trunk where it hasn't been pasted squarely on. If a copy has the Gold Award logo then there's no Butcher underneath.
