Question
I have several mint condition records of the Beatles' Moscow concert of 1987 issued by Melodya and made by MPL Communications, (A60-00415-006).  Do you have idea what they might be worth!  Thanks!  Harry

Answer
The Beatles disbanded in 1969, so a 1987 recording doesn't make much sense.  If you mean a McCartney Russia album, that's probably worth about $35 if it is an original Russian pressing.  "Worth" is always a tough question because of different grading schemas etc.. but what anything is really "worth" is what someone else will pay you for it.  I have an original Butcher Cover "worth" several thousand dollars.. but most people I know wouldn't pay me that to have it.  To most, it's just a "record album."  So given that context - if you really want to sell something, try pricing it on eBay with a reserve, then if it sells, you get what you want for it - which I imagine is what it's "worth" to you.
