If You Have Any Of These Classic Vinyl Records, You're Actually Holding On To a Small Fortune

The Beatles, Please Please Me

The Beatles released Please Please Me in 1963 with Parlophone Records. They were a hot commodity at this point, and this release had to be rushed in order to keep up with the hype. The band finished it at the last second of their deadline, all while John Lennon was sick. The story keeps the album relevant, and if you have an early copy, you could sell it for $4,000.

The White Stripes, Lafayette Blues

The White stripes released this candy-covered album in 1998 with Italy Records. No one is more iconic than Jack White, and this single was only pressed a handful of times to sell at their early gigs. You could buy it for $6 then, but you can sell it for $12,700 now.
