the ames orange book
the dc reaper
Nyc night 2 08 poster

I don't have much of a collection really. I got all 3 posters from Alpine this year, the Klausen on is s/n. Those and the white Backspacer are probably the only things I own that other people actually want.

Are you asking us to asses and decide our most valuable based on personal preference/attachment, resale monetary value, or what's most limited/desired by others that you own?

I don't have a huge collection either. All 3 Alpine posters, the Bonnaroo poster and Champaign '03 poster. Also the Saskatoon Silver variant. Vault #1 CD and a bottle of Faithfull Ale are probably the only items people are really wanting.Some T-Shirts. I'm more into the music than collecting alot. Just wish I had the blu-ray.

Don't know about TOPs... but the ones I like the most...

-Do the evolution original cel + drawing (the scene of the fat guy with VR helmet squeezing toothpaste or something)
-Benny Hall Lp
-Nothing as it seems 12"
-Let me sleep 7"
-Soto's NYC Pearl Jam + Black Keys poster 08/100

mmm I think those...

I could have easily had the DC Reaper poster, walked by a merch stand with a pile of them and no line. But I was bringing my buddy to his first show, we went and got beers, walked around, started talking, etc. and I completely forgot about it. An awesome poster. Would have been a great investment, but oh well. I am married now and it's probably too "dark" for my wife to want hanging in the house anyway.

I've got the 3 EV Klausen prints, not super rare, but I don't know many people that have all 3, and one of them is S/N.

I've also got a white Backspacer.

However, the best item in my collection is an original Woodstock poster. My Dad was there and got a poster, found it in a drawer many years later and had it framed for me.

my memories, my experiences, my friendships, and my family all because of this band.

oh, and a few neat things like posters, vinyl, and used guitar picks too

this would be a cool thread for someone to actually use the over used "this thread is useless without pictures". i would love to see pics of everyone's top items

ST279453

Completely forgot about picks. Got 4 from the '03 tour (Ed, Stone, Mike and Jeff) and one from the Saskatoon show (Mike's)

Yeah, it's got the ticket prices on it too, something like 1 day for $6 or all three days for $15. And then you look at the list of bands...crazy.

Recently recieved the 2000 boots from a 10c member who wanted to sell. That is huge for me b/c i've always wanted the comlete set but couldn't find them all in stores where I live. Got a 2011 EMEK poster (seems to be a hot ticket item, still in the tube) from the Edmonton Show that I attended. Also grabbed a few EV Zippo lighters. Guess those are a few of my fave collectables. Not to mention the CD's, not too many I dont own.

Just what you think your favorite item/items... could be a poster/vinyl etc... could be something you want to sell etc or something you're attached to!

-.- Glorified GnothingMan -.-

I'm mostly a t-shirt guy and my fav is probably my Dirty Frank with his picture and "killer" written beside it in blood on the front, along with the band name written in spattered blood. Back has Eddie and the weenie w/ "Dirty Frank" written over top. I love how many PJ shirts are kind of coded with their meanings not obvious to the non-intiated :twisted:

My favorite items in my collection are the Yield 98 Firehouse poster from the Virgin Megastore sale of Yield. I'm too lazy to post pics but its the one with the playing cards. I love that thing and it will never leave my walls.

The others are the 3 posters and ticket stubs that I've framed from the PJ20 Alpine Valley weekend. Brings up memories from one of the happiest moments of my life and reminders of the greatness of all the PJ fans from all over that I met.

My Top item is the Seattle 98 poster. They were my first PJ shows and I just scored the poster last month. 2nd is all of the holiday singles, the only bad part is flipping and switching the record after just one song.

We've talked vinyl before and pretty much have the same things but I do not have ITW picture disc! Nice

I'll be in Boston for Thanksgiving - where do you live?
