David Bowie - Space Oddity

Vinyl Records Top 5 eBay Sales Week Ending 12/26/2009

1. 45 - Jimmy DeBerry "Take A Little Chance" / "Time Has Made A Change" Sun 185 - $4,477.99

I can see an early Sun Records 45 going for close to 5 G's, but a David Bowie 45 for almost $3,000? What's the story, you may ask. Well, this 45 has a picture sleeve (shown above) that is unique to the Portuguese pressing of the single and is considered the "Holy Grail" for the David Bowie collector. Boy, those record nerds have some deep pockets!
