That record is probably worth about 2,500 dollars. On the memorabilia side, the things I treasure most are my autographs. An autograph is very personal, it wasn't manufactured, it wasn't a toy. I have an authorized, authentic set of Beatles autographs.
Elvis – Elvis Presley: up to $1,000Elvis records don't tend to sell for much, given that most teenagers in 1950s America bought them by the bucketload. However, certain records are worth a pretty penny. Have a look out for mono copies of the King's debut album. Copies can sell for up to $1,000.
They're expensive because these were the closest equivalent to getting an original mono copy in mint condition, which is pretty much impossible. Obviously, they were a more limited run than most people expected when they came out, and now that they're gone, the prices have appreciated accordingly.
In 2015, White Album No.000001, which had been kept in good condition by Ringo Starr for nearly 50 years, was sold at auction for $790,000. This first copy of the White Album is the most valuable and rarest vinyl record ever in the world.
(Because of the different numbering systems used by various plants, there are several copies of the White Album with a No. 0000001 stamp.) The Beatles received four chronologically stamped copies of the White Album; a copy marked No.
1. Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, 1967 – 32 million copies sold. According to many fans, this was the album that singularly defined the Beatles.
Rock and roll and R&B 45s with picture sleeves that were pressed in the 1950's have a value of at least $10, with many being valued at more than $100. EPs were only made in the 50's and 60's. Rock and roll and R&B 45s with the cardboard sleeves are worth at least $20, with many being worth more than $200.
Another valuable record from the Fab Four is a very special version of their White Album. If your copy is from the set's first pressing, there could be a windfall coming your way. You'll know you've won the lottery if your White Album has a gatefold cover, the original Apple logo and a printed number.
