How to bid on my Monthly Auctions
Surf 45's are very much like Paramount Blues 78's. They didn't make very many of the very best ones and they are super hard to find these days, especially in clean condition, but unlike Paramount Blues records, these Mega Rare Surf 45's can look worn, yet they play just about perfect.
I have been buying and selling Surf 45's since the mid-1970's and the good ones were NEVER plentiful. Prices have risen steadily, but for the most part they have not gone crazy . . . yet. But they are certainly poised to, as the younger generations love the fuzzy guitars and rip-roaring tunes!
This month's selection is one of the very best I have ever been able to put together and has some stunningly rare ones that I have never seen nor had a copy to sell before. It takes at least a full year, if not longer, to accumulate enough for a great list. My last Surf auction was almost two years ago.
From my perspective, considering how rare some of these are, there is still a long ways to go with upside value potential. Grab 'em now! They will never get cheaper!
