I spent several minutes looking for this record set for sale on-line and couldn't find a single copy. It appears to be rare, and in this superb condition is a great collectible for specialized buyers. The winning bid includes bubble wrapping inside a suitable cardboard box and shipping by media mail insured, which takes up to 7 days. Without knowing its value, I'm starting out with a floor bid of $34.00.
