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

The Velvet Underground, The Velvet Underground & Nico

The classic Andy Warhol cover on The Velvet Underground's almost-self titled release from 1967 has gone down in history as one of the most iconic album covers to date. This was their debut album, and the media was so unhappy with it that they banned it from radio stations. Only 30,000 copies were initially sold, but if you have one, you can sell it for $25,000.

Max Steiner, The Caine Mutiny

Released in 1954 under Columbia Records, Max Steiner scored this film, but the concept of the movie caused some uproar within the industry. The author of the novel by the same name didn't want a film adaptation and was ready to pull the rights of the script. All copies of the film that were made were scrapped, but some pressings of the score remain. Today, they sell for $6,700.
