I think the holiest of my grails is and forever will be the Benny Hall vinyl box. I've been lucky enough to receive more than one very generous holy grail presents by the awesome people on this forum, and I am cherishing everything I got. Oh yes, I do! But a Benny is so far out of reach, so very far away from anything anybody could ever get from a well-meaning person ... Or afford as a normal person with a low to mediocre income.
They should just reissue it, so I can afford to give my holy grail to myself. As a present to myself for being awesome :P
Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!
I really want a Chicago 22 sweatshirt :roll: and a wrigley Shuss poster. Those are my current big wishes. I really want to frame that Shuss and put it side by side with the Brooklyn 2 and Philly 2 posters above my couch. Hopefully the other decorators in my house won't object.

Some folks banded together and got me the last PJ record I needed to complete the catalog. Live On Two Legs back in 2010. All secret sneaky like too! Hahaha!!
My official holy grail. My first PJ concert was Atlanta 2000. Of course this ended up as on of the missing link posters. It is the holiest of grails as I have never even heard if anyone who owns one.
My holy grail is self title on vinyl, sadly just never bought one and can't justify paying hundreds of dollars for it. I've tried doing trades but people want the cure for the common cold for it.
My holy Grail would be the '98 Noblesville (Indy) concert poster. It has the alien head in a jar. That is the first PJ concert I attended

Shirt from Auckland and/or Christchurch with the city and date on the back from the 2009 tour. I didn't know they had the city and date on the back until I saw some dude wearing the Auckland shirt at the Christchurch show. At the end of the show I tried to get one but they were gone. :fp:
Constitution Hall VFC Poster from '98. Only show I am missing from my collection. First show with wife. Hope to find one soon.

A full vinyl concert!!! I have the "Drop in the Park", but it doesn't have the "flow" of a concert due to the volume drops between songs. I just want a real concert that I can listen to in vinyl. Vault # 3 fits that bill close enough, so, there you go!
Taz poster from 98 Tibetan Freedom Concert at RFK. First concert that my eventual wife and I attended together. Also, a friend of mine from law school at GW got struck by lightning the first day (she was OK thankfully, but talk about a Lightning Bolt)! Thats why they had to cram everything into the 2nd day and why PJ gave the Chili Peppers their instruments to play.
I'm missing the 1991 single (I know, I know), the 1992 single (yes, I know..) and the 2001 single. If anyone is feeling gracious, the 2001 might be more realistic.

Nice!
FWIW, I have the European box set which came with the vinyl, CD, and various other things like a replica tour laminate and some large photos, etc. http://www.pjcollectors.com/detail.asp?id=1943

Right now, Avocado on vinyl, the Vitalogy binder, and the new EV batmobile &/or batgirl picks are my Holy Grails. Just missed out on obtaining the first two of these this week, so it still stings a bit! :x

Benny as well but I just figured that's pretty much everybody's holy grail so I put my second,
I am hanging in the balance of a perfect finished plan

Thanks. I have been looking for a couple years. Did not want to drop five bills on it either.
