Welcome To The FINAL Pete Whelan Pre-War Blues 78's Auction (#4)!! Whelan 78's Pre-War Blues 78's Auction #4 Highlights!
This is the fourth and FINAL auction from Mr. Whelan's World Class Pre-War Blues collection. I will be keeping the remaining records.
Some will say this auction is the best of the four, and others will say it is the least. It all depends upon your perspective and the state of your collection.
This auction contains some ultra rare
rarities, but also some all time classics in BEAUTIFUL condition!
I do not expect to have another auction of such high quality Pre-War Blues 78's for quite some time, if ever! Records like this just don't show up that often any more, except for a few here and there. Most of the "Old-Time" collections have been liquidated and passed on to the next generation. Mr. Whelan's collection was one of the last one of those.
Pre-War Blues 78's are setting "record" high prices, both here in my auctions and wherever else they are offered for sale. Buy what you like now, because it will be a long time before you will see most of these gems for sale again . . . IF EVER! Bid like you really want to own them or someone else will!
Thank you for all your past, current and future bids and participation and PLEASE get your bids in early. The post office is running slower than ever.
My name is John Tefteller-I have been buying and selling rare phonograph records for the past 35 years. I have a worldwide reputation for my knowledge of rare records, especially Blues 78's.
My personal collection contains some of the rarest records on the planet. My auctions in Discoveries magazine featured some of the rarest records on the planet. Many have sold for "record" prices. For top quality records, no one can top The World's Rarest Records!
I have the world's largest inventory of Blues, Rhythm & Blues and Rock & Roll 78's with over 75,000 in stock. I also have a fabulous selection of over 100,000 45's from the 1950's and early 1960's in the following categories: Blues, Rhythm & Blues, Rockabilly, Rock & Roll, Girl Groups, Surf and Country.
I am always interested in buying more rare records! I will pay top dollar for your rare Blues and Rhythm & Blues 45's and 78's in Near Mint condition. Before you sell your rare records to ANYONE, you should at least talk to me. I consistently pay the highest prices for records for my collection and am more than fair when buying for resale. 
Email my webmaster to sign up for my email newsletter! I'll have upcoming auction highlights. We will NEVER give out your information to ANYONE!
