In response to Rob M's enquiry:I would suggest that most "real" Royal Purple cylinders (29,000 series with correct purple color) sell these days for $25 to $50 each, and some for considerably more, depending, as usual, on the selection/artist and the condition. Certain catalogue numbers and artists are easier to obtain than the "rarer" ones. Add extra dollars for an in-tact matching Royal Purple box and even a little more for a matching Royal Purple lid. The correct boxes and lids are rarely found with the records.
