What makes one album worth a few dollars while others bring - TopicsExpress



          

What makes one album worth a few dollars while others bring thousands of dollars? In the vinyl record world, it all comes down to availability -- or lack thereof. In one recent example, a promotional record for the Beatles single Love Me Do sold for $10,974 on eBay. The Beatles record had an unusual error: the misspelling of Paul McCartneys last name as McArtney. Those kinds of rarities translate to higher value in the collecting world, says Scott Neuman, president of ForeverVinyl, a record appraiser in Toms River, N.J. Similarly a 45 rpm single of the Rolling Stones Street Fighting Man with the original sleeve sold for $10,000. The sleeve, showing a controversial image of a man being beaten by police, was later replaced with a picture of the band.
