    I have a mini promotional basketball (about the size of a tennis ball), but that's it. Never saw the rest of the package.

    what is the Ten promo basketball set? I though you were talking about the basketball vinyl..
  • Options
    pdalowskypdalowsky Doncaster,UK Posts: 14,709
    no, not the vinyl, that I have.

    Its a mini actual basketball set with the pearl jam logo all over it.....

    to a non collector it probably looks rubbish, but as a collector, I'm mad keen on securing it.....its basically plastic with a few small balls for your desktop

    hehe i love when collectors search for that one thing that'll make em happy. Funny thing is....people told me that I would die before I"d ever find a Reeenk Roink, boy were they shocked just as much as I was when I found one. haha

    Good luck.

    I have an iron-on patch that matches the picture disc. I tried to get the local independent record store to get me the disc and the B-Ball set for more than a year and they could never get ahold of a copy. This was shortly after Ten came out. Good luck to you but I have a feeling no one is going to be willing to part with these collectibles.

    im dying to know what a "Reeenk Roink" is?
    Empty pockets will allow a greater sense of wealth.
    Why contain yourself like any other book on the shelf?

    Subtle voices in the wind hear the truth they're telling.
    A world begins where the road ends.
    Watch me leave it all behind.

    Im doing alright, no more collecting for me I don't think, not much left, and not much I have desires to want....maybe just those spanish 7" and the 12" promo's of alive/even flow...but no rush to get those.

    More into boutique guitars/amps/pedals these days...how bout you?

    a reeenk roink is the name given to the extremely rare demo version of Ten released by the band to radio stations with their custom hand made artworks...the disc had no printing on and can only be identified either by handwriting on them and certainly by it having one of only two known matrix numbers. Legend has it they are limited to less than 50 - there are many fakes around but if you have a genuine one you have a serious collectors item.

    Not sure what is up with TFT...I was trying to do the same thing. It has pic of mine on there. Mine is the green round version. The numbers all match as well. That, and when when it was pulled out for Jeff to sign, he was blown away, and said he wasnt even sure if HE still had one of those. He was very stoked to see one..

    i too have tried to link, John Reynolds is working on the site so it should be up in no time....

    Now if anyone asks Bu$hleaguer about his matrix scan, he may be kind enough to mention that he "borrowed" my picture cause he couldn't get a good picture of it :)

    Ive given up on the b ball set.
    I just recently found the mini jack set. that was a pretty penny.
    I think the only thing im still looking for is the Blue Vs.

    I got VERY lucky with mine and paid less than $100 for it about 5-6 years ago. I had been looking for one for YEARS. Coolest thing about the whole thing was that the guy I bought it from new exactly what he had and was just happy that I was so freaking excited to find one. He could have commanded a price and I prob would have paid. Very cool guy...:)
