Music Rolls With Seals Intact
By Jim Canavan

I'd like to add my vote to the "Open 'em and play 'em" camp.  Maybe I
would keep one (the least interesting title) sealed, just as an unusual
collectible.

The idea of keeping -all_ sealed rolls preserved that way, however,
reminds me of my fellow toy train collectors who buy wonderful trains
and keep them sealed in boxes, rather than running them (with care,
of course).  Noted train collector (and former Disney animator) Ward
Kimball has an incredible collection of rare toy trains, and runs them
all.  He believes that they are objects meant to be used and enjoyed,
not to sit on the shelf or in a glass case like a bunch of ...
gosh, I dunno ... Beanie Babies ! :-)
