41. Sex Pistols God Save The Queen Record (Original Price: $6-$7* Worth Today: $15,880*)
in the mid-1970s, right in the heart of London, the Sex Pistols burst onto the music scene. With Malcolm McLaren as their manager, this punk rock band made quite a splash during their short-lived two and a half year career. They were like a breath of fresh air, shaking up the pop and punk music world like never before. One of their most notorious singles, "God Save the Queen," came out in 1977.
There are only a handful of original A&M record copies of that single still floating around, and guess what? One of them actually sold for a mind-boggling $15,880 in 2019. Can you believe it? Talk about scarcity and high demand! When it was first released, the rebellious "God Save the Queen" song was even banned by the BBC. You might think that would spell the end for a band, but guess what happened? It only fueled the Sex Pistols' popularity even more.
