A store specializing in rare and out of print records, called "Records", in 
Sacramento, CA (about a 90 minute drive for me) sells them - when they get 
some in - for about $5.00 to $7.00 per record in mint, and much less if they 
are all scratched up.  The carousel mirror that fits onto the short spindole 
of a child's phonograph is much harder to find (mirrors break when they are 
dropped!) and they go for higher.  But millions of the records sold, and it 
is my guess that's why they are priced as they are.
If you can obtain two of them, please let me know, and what condition they 
are in.  Thanks!
