I don't recall what a Sgt. Pepper album was worth today but of course sealed & in mint condition brings in big bucks. Speaking of Sgt. Pepper, did you know that each Beatle picked 10 people they wanted on the cover? Two of John's picks were Jesus Christ & Adolph Hitler. Both were rejected. (This was shortly after John made the famous "Beatles are more famous than God" comment.

True story. Ringo actually passed on the chance to add people to the cover, saying that whomever the other three selected were good with him. If you notice the top row of people on the cocer, there are two empty spaces, which had people, who had to be deleted. One, I believe, was one of the "Bowery Boys," who denied permission to use his likeness uless the Beatles paid him, and I forget the other.
On the back cover photo McCartney abruptly turned his back to the camera before the shot just as Harrison had done on an album cover. This fueled the rumor about Paul being dead and replaced by a Canadian.
