Classical Music - Operatic - Arias - Concerto - Philharmonic Symphony 88 Pieces

$

You are bidding on this huge collection of Classical, Operatic, Chamber Music, Arias, Concertos and Ballets you see pictured here.
They are all 45-RPM and they are either EP (extended play) or LP (long playing).  I looked a bunch of them over and was unable to find any dates printed anywhere but I do know the collection was started in the early 1930's. Some of them may be up to the early 70's (he was killed in a car accident in '73) but I have no way of knowing for sure.  
This collection is comprised of eighty-eight pieces of delightful music spanning the talents from Bach to Wager and everyone in-between.  These composers, conductors and musicians are awaiting your ear so don't let them down by not bidding.
Sixty nine pieces of this collection are contained in cardboard boxes and these are in remarkably great condition.
Eleven pieces are in heavy cardboard sleeves and these sleeves are in almost pristine condition.
The remaining seven pieces are in paper sleeves and I'm afraid four of them have the paper folds coming unglued and are loose but the records and their sleeves inside are intact.
The vast majority of these pieces are RCA Victor labels and a couple of them have Columbia Masterworks labels.
Out of all eighty-eight pieces I am only listing sixty-six of them below.  Please look over this list for there are a couple that have issues.  I determined the vast majority of the records were: all in great shape, no unsightly scratches and were contained in their original sleeves.  I inherited this collection and I know they came from the original owner and they were well cared for.
Frankly, I got tired of typing after listing the first sixty-six pieces but trust me, you'll also get the other twenty-two pieces you see in the picture to the right of the blue pot.
The intrinsic musical value of this collection alone is worth a goodly amount so bid to win.  
I will ship these via USPS Media Mail unless otherwise instructed.  I am guessing at the size of box and the weight so after the auction is completed I will inform the winning bidder of the total amount for shipping.
Good luck and thanks for looking.
