6. Box (2004, Compilation, US) – Scat Records
Market price: $200-459 USD

A compilation of their first five albums plus an outtake album of unreleased recordings, this box set typically sells for over $200 nowadays although some have sold for even more. For the longest time, if you wanted to own a copy of their first five albums on vinyl, this was the way to go.
5. Sandbox (1987, Original Pressing, US) – Halo
Market price: $400-600 USD

Though an original pressing of GBV’s second studio album has sold for double digits in the past, good luck finding one under $400 nowadays.
However, if you’re settling for a copy that’s not an original pressing, don’t fear! An upcoming reissue has been announced.
4. Forever Since Breakfast (1986, Original Pressing, US) – I Wanna Records
Market price: $600-1200 USD
Check: Link
The very first record GBV released was limited to only 500 copies and it’s hard to find a single copy under $600. It typically sold for around $200-400 a few years ago.
3. Self-Inflicted Aerial Nostalgia (1989, Original Pressing, US) – Halo
Market price: $600-700 USD
Check: Link
Another GBV studio album that’s quite hard to find these days, it’s difficult to even find a single listing with sales as it’s become more sporadic.
2. Tonics & Twisted Chasers (1996, Limited Edition) – Rockathon Records
Market price: $1000-1200 USD
Check: Link
Originally released as a fan club-only recording in 1996, the album was limited to 1000 copies with 100 of each sporting a different color: marbled blue-green, blue, clear, green, orange, pink, purple, red, white, and yellow/gold along with random variants. Even more rare is a pressing with a white front cover and photocopied handwritten lyrics tucked in the back with a price that can’t be currently estimated because it’s never been sold.
1. Propeller (1992, Original Pressing, Limited Edition, Hand Decorated) – Rockathon Records
Market price: $1000-3000 USD
Check: Link
When Propeller was first released in 1992, the band pressed 500 hand numbered copies each with unique album artwork. A collector’s item only for the most die-hard Guided by Voices fans, one of them was sold for a grand total of $3000 in the past.
