Are Auravision baseball records worth anything?
A neat Collectible from the 60's the Records can sell from $10.00 to $150.00 depending on the player, rarity, and year issued. The Auravision records came out in 1962, and 1964, and were made by Columbia Records, Sports Champions inc. The 1962 Mickey Mantle Auravision Record, is less commonly seen than the one that came out in 1964, and sells Between $75.00 and $150.00 in NR/mint condition as compared to $15.00 - $30.00 for the 1964 record. I received mine from the Good humor man (Ice cream truck in 64') and I like every other kid, ran home to play it, witch would then leave a hole in the center. There are too many auravision records without the hole's punched out so I suspect that the bulk of the records you see are left-overs That were found in a warehouse years later.
