TJR says

Her early LPs – themselves collections of earlier 78 rpm singles – are now collector’s items. Her two Commodore 10-inch LPs, issued in 1950, Billie Holiday, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 (FL-20005 and FL-20006), are worth from $125 to $250 each, depending on their condition. Both LP’s pool from her Commodore recording sessions in 1939 and 1944.
