Okay, let's try again...LEGAL Holy Grail of Pearl Jam

Let's try again this again...hopefully avoiding getting locked down so quickly!

What is the most sought after LEGAL item in PJ fandom (i.e. item that won't get the thread locked down, or myself banned for mentioning)?

I'm referring to things such as hard to find vinyls, etc.

Please expatiate!

    holy crap, i didn't see anything insidious, illegal, covert, compromising, or worthy of lockdown at all in your initial thread. what on earth is going on?

    it was the reply...

    however, im gonna say those special edition vitalogy jack daniels bottles of whiskey are among some of the hardest to find...
    it's largely due to eddie that i liked to jump off of things as a child...

    It varies by person... Mine would be the AP Chicago poster by EV... But if I had to say the universal ONE item, it'd probably be reenk roink

    The soldier field vinyl was released with a companion cd as well. Each were pressed as 400 copies. They were pressed by Vintage Vinyl in St. Louis, Mo. Vintage Vinyl had 2 stores. They have a Delmar location and a Granite City location. I have friends that have worked or work at both locations. We were gettin' drunk in the store in Granite 10 years ago and broke a window playing wiffle ball. To silence me... The gave me the cd and a poster. I got the Live on 2 Legs double sided poster and Soldier Field cd. I then obtained the vinyl years later when the Granite City location closed down. They originally only gave out 300 of the 400 vinyls and cds. That's why so many popped up on ebay a while ago. They gave away the cd's and people sold the vinyl.

    The soldier field is not so rare, they printed more copies than they announced, not long ago ebay had a wave of soldier field LPs, it is something hard to get, but not benny hall price.

    Maybe not too many, when i lived in southamerica the vinyls were very famous, people didn't jump into cds rightaways because they were far way expensive... probably some of them are in a box in some base in colombia ;) maybe mint, maybe trashed...

    I have a framed limited edition lithograph from the Do the Evolution video signed by Todd Mcfarlane...probably pretty rare. Also, a promotional hanging mobile for No Code (never seen anyone else with one of these).

    Here's some of the harder and more valuable things
    reeenk roink cd - at it's prime almost 3 grand
    blue vs - last ebayed for 1600
    Jack bottles
    chicago ap
    ten promo jar
    ten promo basketball desktop set

    the Benny doesn't get near - itsvery easy to find

    that 'apple' did start at a grand. Then reduced every week to 400 and never sold. It seems to be pretty worthless, it was there for a good ten weeks with no takers

    the no code mobile is also readily available

    This poster, or rather, the secondary market for this poster baffles the bejesus out of me.

    9972:113139.jpg

    The 1st edition, which is not signed ... has gone for $25 or under twice in the last two weeks and has been averaging $36 for the last 6 months.

    The Artist Proof, which is signed by EV and Brad Klausen has gone for as much as $1,000. And the last 5 sales have averages about $750 - 800.

    Are you fucking kidding me? Is Ed's sig really worth that much?

    For the love of god, buy a 1st edition, wait for him at a show and get a sig yourself. It'll mean a shitload more to you actually meeting him and it's a TON cheaper.


    A poster people won't pay $30 for suddenly becomes $700 more attractive because Ed scribbled on it?

    Unreal.

    i was always wondering about ed signature, because i got the ten cd, alive 12" vinal with poster, that i got signed by eddie, jeff and dave abbruzzue in 1992, and the temple of the dog cd, signed by ed and jeff.. not that i would ever sell these, but was curious of there value.

    any ideas?

    Really not as much as you'd think. Their sigs are getting easier to get so prices are lower

    maybe 150 each?
