The Rolling Stones, Street Fighting Man (1968)
This also had a controversial cover. Street Fighting Man originally had a black and white photo of police and a wounded protestor. Right before the release, the Democratic National Convention riot took place. They destroyed these and reprinted a new version. In 2011, one that made it out of there sold for $17k.
The Five Sharps, Stormy Weather (1952)
Pawn Stars fan might already know the deal about this 78 RPM. A collector wanted $25k for it, but Rick thought it was too much for its current state. Still, this was a very rare record. One copy even went for $20k. It is hard to believe that the sales had originally been so bad that the band bought them.
