Great points, all.  Know your customer base.  Aside from the Happiness Boys,
Dalhart and Rachmaninoff, what major stars recorded regularly for Edison?
All the titles I ever see aren't by artists I'd call major stars of the era.

Did you ever hear of the Golden Gate Orchestra or checked to see who the 
personnel was on those records? I don't see the Happines Boys, Dalhart or 
even Rachmaninoff commanding the prices these records are bringing on a 
regular basis. Also, let's not forget the Rolfe 52000 series either, and 
maybe the Georgia Melodians thrown in for good measure. I have the 
Rachmaninoff discs but I wouldn't walk across the room for free a stack of 
NOS records of the afore mentioned "stars".
