People tried to rip my uncle off for a beatles album! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

My uncle has the first beatles album, Please Please Me circa 1963, in mint condition, still wrapped in a plastic cover. He took it to an oldies radio station to see how much he could get for it and they offered him $200.00.

He said, "No thanks" and left. My cousin said that he doesn't blame his father for not taking that offer. How much should they have offered my uncle for that album?

If it's truly a first-pressing copy of Please Please Me, it could go for $500-$800. But there's a good chance that what your uncle has isn't a first pressing.
