The thing I would love the most is the Dallas 1998 poster. It was my first PJ show and I've bid on a few but the price is a little out of my budget. I'm willing to buy/trade for this as well. It doesn't have to be perfect b/c I will be framing it, it's more for a nostalgia reasons than for a sheer collecting standpoint.

Bump for my pipe dream of owning this poster.

My holiest of holies. (hahaha that statement makes me laugh) is Hartford 98. Been searching for it for a while. Unfortunately the price is either just of our my range, and trade can not be agreed upon, or the copy is basically shot. So please please pelase my holiest ogf holies. land in my hands one day!

The kind of unfortunate thing about the 98 posters is that while the prices seem to go down a bit, I think it might have gotten close to the point where everyone who has one is someone who really wanted one, as opposed to people who have them and don't care if they sell it. On top of that I imagine since I think they were less than 20 bucks at shows, a bunch of them probably ended up getting taped or pinned to walls, or just overall bashed up over the years. And on top of that thinking back to the seattle 98 show, it was an outdoor show on a soccer field with a pretty big crowd. And then when it got really hot they were spraying the crowd with water from a fire hose. I could easily see a bunch of those posters (if someone were carrying it around all day) getting messed up and not making it out of the venue in very good condition. So with all those factors I could easily see how the supply of 98 posters that are in good condition and that people want to sell is probably pretty small.

At this point for me it has to be the Klausen Toledo 04 poster. It is now the only poster I do not have from the shows that I have attended. Hopefully one will pop up soon.

I got really lucky and found a 98 Phoenix (kind of dinged up) to trade for last month. That was my grail. Now, it would probably be either the posters from shows I attended that I don't have yet (Seattle 00, Phoenix03), setlists from the shows I attended, and the 2010 Into the Wild vinyl (just going to spin it, so I don't want to fork out the $ for a 2007 one).

Got my Holy Grail today in the Post...Thank You Petr.

Benaroya Hall-Vinyl Box # 372 / 2000

Thief of Silence

I'm not really a huge collector of things other than cd releases, so I'm pretty happy with the PJ collection that I've put together thus far in that respect. So, it may seem a bit strange here, but my "holy grail" item is probably the Vault #1 cd.

Mine is the MLPS 98' poster. It was my first show....I would give anything for this one.


Thanks

Better Dan

My holy grails are PJ vinyl albums that I don't have yet. So No Code, Yield, Binaural, Riot Act, Lost Dogs, Live on Two Legs, and of course...my holiest of holy..Benaroya Hall.

veddertown

This would make me very happy indeed!! I love this poster, 1998 was a big, significant year for me and 15/9 is also my birthday....

Since I got a 91 single finally I would say its between a Benny on vinyl, Ames night one Alpine PJ20 print or the 98 East Troy/Chicago one.

Hey Marc, you have both of these posters waiting to join your collection if you want to meet up one of these days. Can't help you with the setlists or the Into the Wild vinyl but hey, 2 prints from shows you went to is probably worth meeting up for no? Let's meet up soon to get these prints in your hands buddy! Get back to me soon.

The Fargo, ND and Atlanta, GA bootlegs from the '03 tour are my current GRAILS!!

:ugeek:

For me it's Pearl Jam 1995 Tour Poster by Ames Casper To Chicago

NAUjackfan

My grail has changed. It's now a RIAA gold or platinum sales milestone framed piece for one of the PJ albums (Yield would be first choice, but I know Ten and Vs are the most common).
