Mighty John the Record Guy, a regular guest on the Keeler in the Morning Show, is the expert we rely on when it comes to the value of records. Recently, John came up with a list of "10 Records Worth $100 or More," plus he added two bonus records valued in the thousands that he calls “Records You Should Know about.” If you owned those two records you could sell them for as much as $15,000.

Listen to the complete interview with John below, and be sure to listen to the end when a listener called in to find out the value on a Beatles record he owns. It's an LP that a lot of people around here probably own, and the value was quite impressive.
