The Beatles, The Beatles (aka “The White Album”) (1968)
The list ends with an undisputed classic, of course. However, this specific album is not like the others. It was the very first pressing of the ninth album, the one with the serial number “A0000001”. For a long time, it was believed that John Lennon had it, but the truth is that it was in the possession of Ringo Starr. He kept it safe in a bank vault for 35 years before the Polyvinyl chloride was auctioned off for an incredible $790,000. The drummer donated the money to Lotus Foundation, his charity for domestic violence victims, the homeless, cancer research, and more notable causes. If you have a copy with a low serial number, you can also get a good price for it. In 2012, A0000023 was sold for $13,750.
Steel City Connection, Dansation/Steel City Disco (1978)
This vinyl can sell for about $885 today. Compared to how much someone would have paid for it when it was released in 1978, that’s a huge paycheck! The songs on this album went on to be huge hits, which makes sense for why the album is worth so much money today.
