You are bidding on a (More than) full set of The Franklin Mint's 100 Greatest Recordings of All Time.

This lot has all 50 of the Box sets (2 records per box) plus two duplicate boxes, 71-72,73-74, I think.

All but four of the boxes are factory sealed!

The only boxes unsealed are 1-2, 15-16, 21-22, 47-48. And they all look like they were never even played.

All the rest are factory sealed.

The sets are beautiful and so are the records themselves. The only condition issue is that a few of the later box sets had some candle wax splatered on them (on the shrink wrap only!).

From Frank Eves Website:

"Franklin Mint 100 Greatest Recordings: ‘The 100 Greatest Recordings of all time’ from the Franklin Mint has been called the ultimate private library of fine recorded music. Every recording was selected by a distinguished panel of music authorities (Martin Bookspan, Schuyler G. Chapin, Franco Ferrara, Irving Kolodin, William Mann, R. Gallois Montbrun, Marcel Prawy, Andre Previn, William Schuman and H. H. Stuckenschmidt).

The library was first announced on the 100th anniversary of Thomas Edison’s invention of the phonograph. Each recorded treasure was pressed with a special vinyl formulation that enabled a clear, quiet playing surface on a more rigid LP disk. Every record was pressed in an atmosphere controlled “clean room.”

There are 50 library cases. Each library case houses two proof-quality long playing records, with each record resting, fully protected, within its own dust free compartment. The record is firmly supported within the closed compartment in such a way that the grooved playing surface never touches any part of the case. Each library case includes a specially written and illustrated commentary, by a respected music expert. The composers and their works are discussed in detail, and background information is provided on the orchestras, conductors, ensembles, and featured soloists."

You're not going to find a set in better condition, sealed as it is.
