Elvis Presley — My Happiness (1948)
The King of Rock collides with another legend on our list in this interesting story of a rare vinyl being auctioned and sold. Elvis released his debut record ‘My Happiness’ in 1948. Naturally, because it was the first release, it is a valuable collectible that anybody would want to have in their collections. Jack White, the lead singer of The White Stripes, ended up buying on through an auction in 2015. The cost? A staggering $300 000. We can’t think of a better home for the rare album.

Wu-Tang Clan — Once Upon a Time in Shaolin (2015)
You might be very surprised to find out that the Wu-Tang Clan is responsible for one of the most valuable collectible records of all time. ‘Once Upon a Time in Shaolin’ was released back in 2015, with the restriction that this single copy release could not be sold for a thousand years. The album ended up going for auction, nabbing an incredible $2 million in the process. As fate would have it, it would eventually end up with the FBI, after the buyer was arrested for securities fraud!
