Yeah, but if we go with Dempsey tradition.........vinyl only.........and I thought we were originally talkin' Honeys singles, not Spring.
I generated my Honeys list after noting the results of past auctions/set sales. And the SDTSR sleeve has always been the most sought after as far as Honey's collectibles, wouldn't you say? Possibly as rare as the Ten Little Indians sleeve (or rarer) if you were comparing value?
Honeys sleeve is much rarer than "10 Little Indians" -- "10LI" can be had in mint condition for around $150. I've never seen the Honeys sleeve sell for less than $500, until one sold on eBay for $361.78 a few weeks ago. That one was in VG to VG+ condition, with some wrinkles and stains -- but still a pretty good deal IMHO. In my old pre-family days with unlimited record collecting budget I would have picked it up for that as a second copy.
I think I've mentioned before that mine is autographed by Marilyn, Diane, and Ginger, and has a long handwritten inscription to a family member. Bgas and I have debated whether that adds to the value, or subtracts from it.
Wow, we've gotten pretty far from "Johnny B. Goode," haven't we?
