Vee, Ruth & group: I asked my husband about cardboard records and he told me that you could buy them in regular record shops back then. The records were fairly common, and as you mentioned, made of cardboard, often varnished with shellac. They aren't very collectable as the Vogue records are, though. We have a few of those in our collection. I remember when I was a kid in the 60's and we used to collect records that we cut out of cereal boxes, I used to have a bunch of those, but don't know what happened to them. Now those are highly collectable! Those records had the popular teen groups and idols on them of the day. Hope that answers your question! Kim
