I have some interesting facts to share. I don't know the owners of these Benny's, (unless stated) but I know they exist out there because I've been keeping track of all Benny sales on eBay since October 2011. I've kept the sale amount private for those who's copies belong to a 10C member. As eBay is not private, I've listed the sale prices for those copies sold who's aren't on the list so far, solely for curiosity sakes. I've cross-referenced these to make sure that there are no duplicates / forged copies. They all check out. The gaps in the list on page one of this thread, jive with the copies I have listed below.

_____/2000 (the copy is unnumbered. Up on eBay Jan 9 2012. Did not sell. Sealed)
PMM005/2000 (I believe seattlebatman knows the story behind this one. Sold as a sealed copy)
PROMO/2000 (I believe this one did not sell. Listed Dec 16, 2011. Sealed)
_____ /2000 (also unnumbered; different seller so I presume it's a different unnumbered copy than the first. Listed Jan 21, 2012. Opened. Like New. Did not sell)
_____/2000 (unnumbered. It's strange to me to see that the unnumbered versions are also different. Some look like this: ____/2000, some look like this: /2000 and some look like this -/2000 (Sold as "Near Mint. Unplayed")
_____/2000 (again, a different ebay seller than the other ones that are _____/2000. Sold for $799.99 on Dec 24, 2012 as an opened, never played, mint copy. Not numbered. Bought at record store)
_____/2000 (Sold for $818 USD on Jan 4, 2013 as an unnumbered, sealed, mint copy)
-/2000 (not totally blank. but an actual "dash" instead of a number. Initially listed at $900. Did not sell. Sold for $800 USD as "used, worn corners, near mint poster, no audible defects")
-/2000 (same as above; different ebay seller. COULD still be the same copy, just re-sold? DID NOT SELL, offered as "unnumbered promo box, near mint, unplayed, opened. starting bid $1500 USD)

1902 (wthekiller owns this. Sold as "opened, never played")

Interestingly enough, some of you may recall late in 2012, only ONE of the 4 wine colored LP's (the first of 4) was listed on ebay. It came in it's red/white cardboard sleeve, but that's it. NO box set, missing the other 3 vinyl...it was sold from an eBayer with a record store. It sold for $92 USD. No idea what copy of 2000 it came from.

It's fun to watch these Benny's go (or not go) on eBay over time. I've seen them go for $1300-$1600 on average from Nov 2011 to Sept 2012. Since then, prices have been dropping significantly, as recent sales of Sealed, mint copies are selling for $800. Quite incredible.

I'm a PJ Geek, what can I say. And I'm a proud original owner of a sealed Benny; #1297. Add me to the list please

This may seem weird (ok it may seem downright OCD or insane... guess I'm in the right fanclub for that), but which hand-numbered copy of Benaroya Hall do you WISH you owned? Any favorite numbers out there you just wish were written on your copy of 2000.

I'd be stoked to have

0001 (is it actually written like that? anyone know?)
now that I think of it, any of the first 10 numbered ones would make me feel insane
Any of 0500, 1000 or 1500 (it's a numbers thing)
0919 (my lucky number - I own a 919 motorcycle)
1983 (year I popped out screaming "I'M STILL ALIVE")
1999 (just because it's the 2nd to last)
and, 2000 (cuz it'd make me feel like I lucked the FRRREEER out (sound effect on the weird word)

anyone else care to chime in? the board is all yours.

This will always be one of my most cherished Pearl Jam collector items that I own as it completed my Benaroya Hall experience. I was lucky enough to score a ticket to this show and afterwards I was able to meet Ed, Mike & Jeff for the first time ever and got them to sign my poster from that night! Then when the Ten Club offered up this limited edition vinyl I was lucky enough to score it for the original price of $46 which makes it all the more priceless to me!
