About this record
RCA Victor's Indianapolis pressing plant stamped this sacred 45 with matrix codes F2PW-4294 and F2PW-4295, marking a US single that trades today between 0.14 and 2.57 USD depending on grade. The want-to-have ratio (2 collectors seeking it against 76 who own one) reflects its modest scarcity among devotional 7-inch singles.
What drives its value
This Perry Como devotional single commands a steep condition gradient: a Mint copy reaches 2.57 USD, while a Near Mint sits at 2.30 USD, VG+ at 1.76 USD, and VG at 1.22 USD. The floor drops sharply below VG—a Good+ grades to 0.68 USD.
Currently 21 copies are listed for sale, with the lowest asking price at 0.44 USD, indicating a flooded secondary market. The 76 collectors who own one against only 2 seeking it suggests this is a common pressing rather than a hunt piece.
Its value lies almost entirely in condition: a Mint specimen is nearly six times the price of a Poor copy, making grading accuracy essential for any transaction.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the RCA Victor catalogue number 447-0110 and the dead-wax matrix strings: side A reads F2PW-4294 (with runout B2 F2 PW4294 - - S I), and side B reads F2PW-4295 (runout C1 F2 PW4295 - 1S I). The pressing plant attribution to RCA Records' Indianapolis facility is documented in the matrix.
The label should read 'RCA Victor' with the 447-0110 designation. Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light for hairline scratches, scuffs, and play wear; even light surface marks drop a Mint copy into NM territory.
Check the label for foxing or discoloration. The absence of a barcode confirms this as a vintage 45 rather than a later reissue.

Frequently asked
What is this single worth in typical condition?
A VG+ copy is estimated at 1.76 USD according to the price guide. This represents the sweet spot for played but well-kept copies—no heavy scratches, minor surface noise only. The estimate reflects market data as of the guide's last update.
How much more is a Mint copy than a Good one?
A Mint copy is valued at 2.57 USD, while a Good copy is 0.41 USD. The difference underscores why condition grading is critical on low-value 45s—a single point drop in grade can halve the asking price.
Is this pressing rare?
No. The community data shows 76 collectors own this record against only 2 seeking it, and 21 copies are currently for sale. It is a common pressing, typical of Perry Como's prolific output on RCA Victor during the mid-twentieth century.
How do I verify I have the right pressing?
Check the dead-wax runout on both sides: side A should read 'B2 F2 PW4294 - - S I' and side B 'C1 F2 PW4295 - 1S I'. These matrix codes confirm the Indianapolis RCA pressing plant. The label must read 'RCA Victor' with catalogue 447-0110.
Why is the lowest asking price only 0.44 USD when VG copies grade at 1.22 USD?
The lowest price likely reflects a Poor or Fair copy, or a seller willing to accept below-guide rates to move inventory quickly. With 21 copies in circulation, competition is fierce, and condition-compromised examples can undercut the price guide significantly.
