Two Very Rare, Weird, and Valuable Elvis Records
I started collecting record albums back in the 80s when CDs took over as the dominant music format. When people bought CD players and started building CD libraries, their old LPs and 45s languished in disinterest. Ultimately, many people sold their record collections at garage sales.

It was fun to write recently about the 1992 voting for the favorite Elvis stamp picture.
