Nas is expected to debut at No. 1 on the U.S. pop charts this week, giving his latest album, which is untitled, some headlines that won't focus on the controversy surrounding it.

Even the Beatles ran into trouble for some non-musical purposes. This so-called butcher cover of "Yesterday and Today" was recalled soon after its release and is a valuable collector's item today. Here's a look at what would be some other prime eBay finds.
