It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Casals? There's a small, focused interest in classical 78's...

Interesting. I notice the vast majority of those high priced Casals 78s were either Bach cello suites or the Casals Thibaud Cortot trio. The Bach cello suites are nearly always among the most collectible classical music pieces. And beyond that, I'd bet that solo or chamber records featuring famous soloists would be most valuable, other than Caruso or a few other very common ones (Fritz Kreisler, perhaps).

I'd also guess that 78s would generally be less valuable for soloists who recorded well into the LP era, just as mono LPs are less valuable for soloists who recorded well into the stereo era. So Heifetz 78s might not be so valuable. Edit: At first I said Elman, but some of his LPs go for big bucks, so the same may be true for his 78s. On the other hand, without even looking on popsike, I'd guess that Eugene Ysaye 78s would be very valuable.
