Write your reply.

assistant: Hiya, Buck, just thought I'd throw my 2 cents and at least try to answer
your questions...
Picture : Depending on size, condition, and time period the photo was
taken really regulates price. Clues to look for : background - what is
behind or near the little girl ? furniture ? what type or " vintage " of
dress is she wearing ? anything hanging on the walls ?
(indoor), or if outdoor, automobiles or even earlier, horse & buggies ?
Or is it a studio type photo, with a single curtain or backdrop ?
(usually signed at bottom or back by studio).  All of this is easily
checked with a quick stop to your local library. Check copies of old
magazines ( Sat. Eve. Post ) or mail order catalogs ( Sears & Roebuck )
and you should nail down an exact year. The older it is, the more it's
worth, and , in rare cases, if the photo turns out to be of someone
famous or even noteworthy ( like Mae West taking her first step ) yould
be " in gravy ", but since this is unlikely, I would have to say that
most photos taken after World War One run between $ 5.00 and $ 25.00
in most Antique Shops around here. The fact that it is a photo of a
child ( with nothing else in the photo ? ) puts it close to the lower
end.
Book : Turn of the century books are not to hard to find around here,
either, but that is not to say this paticular book isn't worth
something. There are several price guides on this subject, check the
local library, first, and then the book stores. Even if your book is not
mentioned by name, it will give a guige line to price by : date,
publisher, author, storyline, condition, etc.
If you find out anything else, and you feel like talking, let me know,
untill then...

Ms. Beckie Mullen has been in as well as where one may locate the
posters she has been in.  I've read that she has been in at least
45 different music videos and 10 different posters and that data is
about three years old.  All I've been able to find out so far is
that she is listed as an actress and model.  Where might one find
a videography listing of actors/actresses from music videos?
And where might one find a listing of posters available of various
actors, actresses, models and TV/movies??
     Thanks much in advance.

SAS>>I have a bunch of 78 records and I am looking for anyone who may

Write your reply.

assistant: The *vast* majority of 78s are skeet-targets, especially the big-band titles,
Irish tenors, and piano solos.
Look at them carefully.  If they're gray and dull-looking, or are cracked or
have pieces chipped out of the edges, they're junk with *VERY* few
ceptions.
If they're in incomplete albums, they might have some minimal value to
omeone
else with an incomplete set.  Classical sets can have some value, but not
many.
Most of the valuable 78s are from the 50s rather than earlier; blues, bop,
early R&B and R&R can command high prices, as can certain labels.  In any
case, the primary determining factor is condition.
