About this record
The 1985 RCA Victor reissue of Elvis' Christmas Album carries catalogue number AFM1-5486 and was pressed at RCA Records Pressing Plant, Indianapolis—a detail stamped in the dead wax that distinguishes it from the original 1964 pressing (LSP-1951(e)). This remaster arrived with a hype sticker promising green vinyl and digital restoration to original mono, though 42 copies currently listed for sale suggest steady availability despite the collectible positioning.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire market here. A Mint copy commands 58.25 USD, while a Near Mint drops to 52.12 USD—a steep cliff that reflects how few copies survive unplayed.
The VG+ tier sits at 39.86 USD, and VG copies fetch 27.59 USD. The lowest asking price across all 42 active listings is 9.9 USD, indicating heavy wear or damage.
Community ownership is broad: 1254 collectors report having this pressing against 193 seeking it, a ratio that keeps prices moderate. As a 1985 reissue rather than the original 1964 release, this pressing trades well below vintage pressings but commands premiums for sealed or near-mint examples with the original hype sticker intact.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number AFM1-5486 printed on the spine and label. The dead-wax runout strings AFM1-5486-A and AFM1-5486-B (or their variants AFM1-5486A-1 I A2 f ℐ⍺ and AFM1-5486B-1 I A2 A A ℐ⍺) confirm the Indianapolis plant pressing.
The gatefold cover should contain a bound 10-page photo album; absence signals a later reissue or damaged copy. Original shrinkwrap bore a red and white hype sticker stating 'Restored To Original Mono / Digitally Remastered / Pressed On Green Vinyl / A Collectible.' Grading hinges on vinyl color (green vinyl should be uniform), surface cleanliness, and whether the photo album remains intact and unfaded.
The mono mix and remastered source distinguish this from any stereo or earlier pressings.

Frequently asked
What is a VG+ copy of AFM1-5486 worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ graded copy is valued at 39.86 USD. This represents the sweet spot for collectors seeking playable condition without the premium of Near Mint (52.12 USD) or Mint (58.25 USD). The estimate reflects market data as of the guide's publication date.
How does the 1985 reissue compare to the original 1964 pressing?
The original 1964 pressing carries catalogue number LSP-1951(e) and was issued on standard black vinyl. The 1985 AFM1-5486 reissue introduced green vinyl, digital remastering, and a bound photo album inside the gatefold—features marketed as collectible enhancements. The reissue was pressed at RCA Records Pressing Plant, Indianapolis, a detail visible in the dead-wax matrix strings.
Should I buy a copy at the lowest asking price of 9.9 USD?
The lowest price of 9.9 USD likely indicates heavy wear, surface noise, or missing components (such as the 10-page photo album or original shrinkwrap). A VG copy in playable condition is priced at 27.59 USD. Weigh the savings against the risk of unplayable grooves or incomplete packaging.
Is the green vinyl hype sticker important to value?
Yes. The original shrinkwrap bore a red and white hype sticker stating 'Restored To Original Mono / Digitally Remastered / Pressed On Green Vinyl / A Collectible / AFM1-5486.' Copies with intact, unfaded stickers and original shrinkwrap command premiums in the Mint (58.25 USD) and Near Mint (52.12 USD) tiers. Sticker loss or shrinkwrap removal typically downgrades a copy by one or two grades.
Why do 1254 collectors own this but only 193 want it?
The ratio reflects a mature, widely distributed reissue. The 1985 pressing was manufactured in volume and remains common in the secondary market—42 copies are currently for sale. Demand concentrates among completists and those seeking the specific green vinyl variant with original packaging, rather than casual buyers hunting a rare pressing.
