  Even in mint condition, which is super rare for any 78, $2000. for one 78 is crazy money. However, some collectors might have the funds ready...

      The '60s 78s from India were the last of the 78s. They did not offer 45s for popular hits, like the rest of the world, yet. I can understand their desirability, for some cool listening sessions. 78s, like 45s, were mixed differently than the same era LPs.

        Although we may never know, since it was a private deal between McCartney and fellow Quarryman Duff Lowe.
        
        I'm also betting this is still the most highly valued record of any, type, given that it was in 2004, and that there was only one copy ever made.
        
        " In 2004, Record Collector magazine named the original pressing as the most valuable record in existence, estimating its worth at £100,000" ($126,000 USD at today's exchange rate)
