The sleeves are used vintage-era 78 sleeves and each one is unique in some way (i.e., writing, stickers).

Thats a beautiful piece of vinyl.

And the sleeves are all recycled, old 78 sleeves or just made to look old?

Actual old. The other copy we got has no stickers or writing. And I saw lots of variations at the table.

I'm willing to sell mine at the right price. What is the right price? The most I can get for it. I'm sorry, I know people hate it around here when Swirlers sell things without putting a price on it. I've never done that, so as this is my first time doing so, please forgive me this one time. PM me with your offer. I am in need of that dirty dirty devil dollar right now, not any trades.

there's 3 on ebay and they're all around $200. Where do people get these price ideas? Even just $50 would be double what you didn't pay for it!

I paid much more through a Swirler for the privilege of attending. Just FYI.

I spoke to the woman sitting next to me and she had paid $150 on StubHub for the tickets.
A few hours before the event began the tickets were going as low as $65.
Yet better safe than sorry, always buy ahead!

Oh yikes. Good point.
Sorry, I didn't mean to sound condescending, I just didn't understand where those eBayers are getting that number from. But on second thought, I bet few attendees will be willing to part with their copies, so I can imagine these being worth quite a lot in the future.

Look at a lot of the tricolor starting prices over the past year or the Sun-Rays....seems in line to start at $200 but it will go down. Cash Sun-Rays have been under $200 in the past few auctions if memory serves me. The other two Sun-Rays can be had for $100 or less. Other than the novelty and TMR number, I don't think there's a large draw for these records.
