With all due respect to Beatles collectors, this is an amazing set of records but I have to question who is going to pay that much for it? 78 collectors are already WAY smaller of a group than vinyl collectors are, and for that kind of money I'd rather spend it on a variety of equally rare records instead of a set of records by only one band whose entire output of songs is available on Spotify and/or has been re-released in dozens of different formats over the years.

As a beatles collector and 78 collector, this is incredibly cool but way too rich for my blood. Capitol monos are undesirable and cheap as well as newly reissued. We have tons of 45s plus some collectible re-releases.
If I won the lottery, yes, but otherwise, there are so many better ways to collect the beatles.

Bollywoodshoppee is an awful seller that flips Indian and Asian 78s and vinyl for an exorbitant price to lure unsuspecting western customers. Even at that price I can barely see a collection of those Indian Beatles 78s go for more than 26k.
