I found a sealed original pressing copy of the white album in my basement. I i already have an open copy so it’s not like I need it. Anyone know what it could sell for on ebay.
The value of your album will depend on a number of things….
- What is the number on the front cover? A low number (below 10,000) will command a higher price and anything very low (below 1,000) will be higher still.
- The price also depends on the condition – you say it is still sealed but is the cover totally mint, or are there defects like worn corners, tears in the shrinkwrap, etc?
- Are there any stickers on the shrinkwrap? These could add to the value depending on what stickers are present
- The history of the album; have you owned it since it was released or has it been bought and sold a number of times? Has it belonged to anyone connected to the Beatles (record company exec or whatever)?
A still-sealed White Album which had belonged to Alan Livingstone of Capitol Records (who signed The Beatles) sold for $6,000 on the Fab4Collectibles website. Another sealed copy with a rare sticker on the shrinkwrap sold for $7,500. These are probably the very high end of the market. Your album could be worth anything up to that depending on the factors above.
DONTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.
