What is the value of Bing Crosby albums?

There are a number of copies of this set currently for sale in Ebay Stores, price ranging from 15 to 20 dollars. It is neither rare nor monetarily valuable. Sorry. Sadly, there are very few serious collectors, and it is unlikely you could find anyone but an impulse buyer. The best option is to save it as a keepsake, pass it down through the family. In the late 1940s it was thoroughly enjoyed and quite entertaining to whomever owned it. In the 1930s and 1940s Bing had a string of top hits, including 3 songs that each stayed at #1 for more than 10 weeks. Nobody else has ever done that. In short, you own a small piece of Americana, from a postwar time of peace and prosperity. That's the real value of the set.

The film was originally set at a resort of sorts called the Holiday Inn, which was the original title of the film. Probably the motel chain objected, so it was eventually re-titled White Christmas. The song was always called White Christmas .
