I'm curious since, while 33-RPM records have made a comeback of sorts, 78-RPM records are obsolete and probably very difficult to find today..
78's are easy to find here...It seems every antique shop has them, and the thrifts usually have some at least one week a month on average.

If you are really into Big Band/swing, or other genres that had a lot of pre-low speed releases, then 78's are a must.
