40 Vinyl Records That Are Worth Way More Than You Expect

JOHN LENNON – MIND GAMES: SELLS FOR UP TO $250 (£193)

John Lennon’s third solo album, Mind Games, released in 1973, continues to attract attention from collectors. A sealed copy fetched $250 (£193) on eBay this February, while standard editions in decent shape can still command respectable prices—around $70 (£54) today. Though it wasn’t Lennon’s most critically acclaimed work at the time, its legacy has grown steadily over the years.

Beyond autographed first pressings, the most valuable edition is a limited Grammy Award-winning reissue released last year. Only 1,000 copies were produced, each selling at launch for a hefty $1,745 (£1,350). These deluxe reissues are the holy grail for fans and collectors alike. If you’re checking your copy’s value, platforms like Discogs and eBay listings are helpful, or you can consult a trusted vinyl expert.
