About this record
Columbia catalogue 13-33234 is a 7-inch 45 RPM single by Sonny James pressed for the US market. The price spread from Mint to Good is steep—$18.05 down to $2.85—reflecting how sensitive this honky-tonk record is to wear.
Seven copies are currently listed for sale, with only 2 collectors actively seeking it against 5 who own one.
What drives its value
Condition drives nearly all value on this Columbia single. A Mint copy commands $18.05, while Near Mint drops to $16.15; the VG+ grade sits at $12.35, and a VG pressing trades around $8.55.
Below that, Good+ falls to $4.75 and Good to $2.85. The lowest asking price across all 7 active listings is $2.36, indicating that worn copies flood the market faster than demand absorbs them.
The 2-to-5 want-to-have ratio suggests modest collector interest; this is a secondary-market 45, not a chase record. Original US Columbia pressings of country honky-tonk 45s from this era command premiums only when they grade high and show minimal play wear.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify the pressing by the Columbia label and catalogue number 13-33234 printed on the label. The 7-inch 45 RPM format and two-track layout are standard for this release.
Grade by examining both sides under bright light: Mint ($18.05) shows no signs of play, storage, or handling; Near Mint ($16.15) may have one or two light hairline marks but plays without audible surface noise; VG+ ($12.35) displays light surface marks and faint background noise only on quiet passages; VG ($8.55) shows visible wear, light scratches, and noticeable surface noise throughout play. Sleeve condition, if present, should be assessed separately—many 45s survive without original sleeves.
The absence of a barcode confirms this as an original pressing rather than a reissue.

Frequently asked
What is this record worth in VG+ condition?
A VG+ copy of Columbia 13-33234 is valued at $12.35 according to the price guide. This estimate reflects typical market pricing as of the guide's last update; actual sales may vary depending on buyer urgency and the specific copy's play history.
Why does the lowest asking price ($2.36) fall so far below the Good grade ($2.85)?
The $2.36 listing likely represents a Fair or Poor copy—records grading F ($1.90) or P ($0.95) are often bundled or sold as filler. Sellers sometimes price aggressively to move slow-moving inventory, especially on common 45s with modest collector demand.
How many copies are on the market right now?
Seven copies are currently for sale across tracked listings. This modest supply, paired with only 2 active want entries against 5 have entries, suggests this is a readily available secondary-market 45 rather than a scarce pressing.
What is the difference between a Mint and a Near Mint copy in dollars?
A Mint copy is priced at $18.05 and a Near Mint copy at $16.15. The price guide does not provide a percentage or absolute gap figure; collectors should compare the two grades directly to decide if the condition upgrade justifies the difference in their own purchase.
Is this a reissue or an original pressing?
The absence of a barcode code on this Columbia 13-33234 45 confirms it as an original pressing. Reissues and later pressings typically carry UPC barcodes on the label or sleeve; the lack of one here indicates a vintage US Columbia release.
