Anyone able to give me a value on a Nat King Cole album?

I bought Nat King Cole's album "Unforgetable" today at a book store. It is N/MNT and is still in the original cellophane! I checked it out at allmusic.com and my LP's catalog number is T-357, the original 1955 release! Saying it is in top shape any one able to throw a number out there as to whether or not it is worth anything? Regardless the music is great. It's a keeper.

Sounds like a nice player. Not valuable though. $1-$5 if you found someone looking for one. I would just keep it, play it and enjoy it.

Nat King Cole sold a BUNCH of lps. Especially that one. Supply and demand. Meaning there are a bunch of them still out there and those who search out NKC are probably fewer than the supply. The only thing it would really have going for it is its condition. Thats a plus.

Well, its not the original release, that was H-357 and in 1952 according to the Gold Mine 4th edition.

There were 3 T357 issues,
1955 with a tourquise label
1958 with a Black label with colorband "Capitol" on the left
1962 with a Black label with colorband "Capitol" at the top

All were Mono (M) and none were listed for more than $20 in VG+ condition.
actually the went $20, $15, and $10 in order.

It takes a very rare, and very in demand record to break out of the $10-$20 arena in VG+ condition in the gold mine book

Thanks for the help. I believe that the T-357 was the first 12" release of this album. Before 1955 "Unforgettable" was released as a 10" LP minus a couple of songs. From your information outlawmws, it sounds like I have the 1958 release. Thanks!
