Market Value of a Piano Roll Collection
By Joseph Osborne

I have just come across a trove of thousands of player rolls, for sale.
There are many Duo-Art and Ampico rolls among them.  I am not in the
business of buying and selling rolls but am considering purchasing and
giving it a go.  I have no idea of how to value them or what would be
a fair offer.  The condition varies a lot.  I have requested an asking
price but they don't know what to say.  I am looking for advice.

 [ is simply junk.  -- Robbie
