RCA shaded dogs

Czarivey's opinion mirrors my own, lots of hype surrounds shaded dogs and people often pay too much for them at auction - assuming sound quality is supposed to correlate to the price paid for them. I've got a couple dozen of some of the most valuable USA pressed shaded dogs in mint or near mint condition and only a few of them warrant the hyperbole. I understand that various pressing plants had different levels of sound quality as well. Good to know about the UK pressings, I've not heard those. I wonder how many of those made their way to the US? Here's more info on RCA dog labels:

Photon46 - very informative. Thanks!

White dogs are nice, too. You would think these things would be getting scarce but there appears to be a glut over on eBay. I bought and sold a large collection of Mercurys and RCAs twenty years ago when they bought top dollar. I only wish they came out on cassette.
