The sets with actual interest are from the Smithsonian. The Time Life subscription set of Jazz greats is running around $10 to $15 a box. Franklin Mint is a backwater. About like reader's Digest. Big Band is really not very popular anyway. Put them out at your garage sale with the empty Avon bottles....

(A lot of the folks who played in big bands did a lot of small group work, and I like them too.)
