What's it Worth?

This is a paper disc, known as a “flexi,” laminated with acetate film that was embossed with recording grooves. In the early 1960s, such records became widespread as novelty giveaway premiums on cereal boxes and within magazine pages. They were also produced as birthday greetings to be mailed. On eBay, records such as yours sell between $1 and $3, but storefront dealers charge more. One shop I found offers your “Sweetest Girl in the World” record for $15. Here’s a harmonious keepsake idea: Take your record and a photo of your dad to a frame shop. Mount both in a single frame (with an acid-free mat).
