Do you own any of the most expensive cassette tapes on the resale, vintage-lovers market?

Artist: Pearl Jam
Est. Value: $4,000*

Pearl Jam was the rock band that people couldn’t get enough of in the nineties. They’re still quite popular, with thirteen million monthly listeners on Spotify. Many of these listeners rock out to Ten, Pearl Jam’s most commercially successful album.

Ten (1991) @VinylJunction/etsy

If you have a sealed, first-edition cassette tape of Ten from 1991, you could be sitting on a four-figure item of value. Ten has reached a price as high as $4,000 on some collectors’ markets, as people want to own a piece of OG rock history.

Artist: Nirvana
Est. Value: $1,500*

You already knew Nirvana was going to be on this list, as how could it not? Nirvana was the grunge movement of the nineties, and the band’s legacy lives on, even after the passing of the inimitable Kurt Cobain.

Nevermind (1992) @Cassettestalker/etsy

Nevermind was Nirvana’s first #1 album when it came out in ’92, knocking out Michael Jackson’s Dangerous on the charts. A sealed, first-edition cassette tape could net you as much as $1,500 on sites like Etsy, eBay, and more resale venues.

Artist: Beastie Boys
Est. Value: $1,500*

Were you a Beastie Boys fan in the ‘80s? If so, you definitely had Licensed to Ill on repeat, the Boys’ album produced by SONY and Def Jam. If you have the cassette tape, that could be worth as much as $1,500.
