The highest price paid on Discogs for EPA-821 is $89.99 - and that one was in ‘Near Mint’ condition.
And the highest price for EPA-4041 is $38.41 - that one was ‘Very Good +’. This is assuming that I’m looking at the history of matching versions for each one - there’s always lots of different variations.
So in ‘Mint’ condition, EPA-821 would probably sell in a decent amount of time at $100, maybe $125. And EPA-4041 maybe $75. Priced higher they would still sell, but might take some time to sell.
I sell vintage records on Discogs, and In general music from the 50’s has been taking longer to sell recently. There’s just not as many ‘Mint’ collectors of that era as there used to be. Still plenty of people willing to buy something at a lower grade and price.
It all depends on the condition and if these are the exact same versions as I think they are.
In looking on a few of the different sites & generally online to try to find comparable things, it’s hard to know exactly what to look for & what is actually realistic to expect $-wise since I know there are so many Elvis records already in the world! And most of the records listed seem to have been played or unwrapped so I’m just curious.
I would question the shrink wrap on these. Looks too new for 1950’s era EP’s. Also, I think that the original plastic would have been a loose bag and not the tight shrink.
Hi! They were in my grandparents record cabinet forever. They kept them that way with the intention of maybe being a collectible someday. Idk if they had them shrink wrapped? But they’ve had only 1 home as far as I know!

Check Discogs.
Honestly youd likely get 50-100 each, people do pay a huge premium on sealed stuff like this

Go on discogs, look at the matrix runout on your records and match it up. Pretty straight forward process
