Question from a noob about some old PJ memorabilia

P J P

Hi all. I was a charter member of the 10c way back (when I rolled over from the Mother Love Bone Earth Affair) and have some old stuff from around that period. Not sure if I want to sell or trade any of it yet, but I'm just looking for some input on what they may be worth.

First, I have the first two Christmas singles. Let Me Sleep is in near mint condition in the original mailing package (dated Jan 1992) which included a xeroxed newsletter. The paper sleeve for Who Killed Rudolph? got ripped when I opened the package, so it has about an inch of scotch tape across it on both sides, but the vinyl is in excellent condition.

I also have the demo cassette that was mailed to the MLB fan club members with Alive/Wash/I've Got A Feeling. Played the hell out this thing back then so not sure what kind of shape it's in yet since I don't have a cassette player handy.

I have a size XL tshirt from the Drop In The Park show in Seattle from the summer of 92. The one with the photo of their tour manager taking a dump. It's in like new condition, having sat untouched in a box since the week of the show. I probably have a ticket stub for this amazing show somewhere too.

I also know I have one of the Mookie Blaylock shirts that I got at one of their early shows somewhere (black and white xerox of Mookie in front of a rectangle of repeated Pearl Jams) but am still going through old stuff trying to find it. I'm told that may be worth $500 depending on what kind of shape it's in.

I also have the original prints and negatives for about 40 pics I took at the Pain In The Grass mural amphitheater show in Seattle the summer of 1991. I was in the front along the barricade to the right of the stage, directly below the speakers Eddie climbed. Got some really cool shots of him standing with the Space Needle towering behind him.

Thanks in advance for any info you can give me - this forum is mind blowingly awesome.

Not sure on the prices of the merch but I would be very interested in the photos/negatives.
I'm a photographer and love this kind of stuff!
Let me know if you are wanting to get rid of them!

Welcome back by the way!

awesome and welcome to the forums! There are some great members on here that will do better than I can with your questions but you can look on ebay for items that sold already to get a good feel for some items. any chance you remember your 10c # from back then? I would love to know what they assigned you as someone who was there from the very beginning!

I'd love the manager taking a dump shirt... Lol

I don't recall my number or even having one, really. I asked 10c if they had a record of my old membership but they said all they have is records from 96 on when things went electronic.

Not sure about the prices either- but would love to know.... That's some old school swag!

Definitely interested in the DITP shirt and ticket if you decide to part.

PM sent.

Good luck, and welcome back!

Welcome! I'm thinking that you should scan a few of these pics and post them!!

Good idea and I'll definitely see about doing that. Which would be the right forum for posting those? This one or one of the others?

MayDay Malone

Here's a few of the Mural Ampitheater pics. These are drugstore 3x5 prints scanned on my flatbed, but you get the idea. I'm no pro photographer - I was a 19 year old with a cheap camera with an auto flash but they came out pretty good. When Ed climbed the speakers I was standing in front of, I remember thinking, "Damn I sure hope this shitty little camera works..." Crazy to think this was over 20 years ago. What a killer day this was!

elwayvedder

amazing. thank you

You weren't wearing a baseball hat with a ponytail sticking through the hole in the back,while your head was twitching uncontrollably,were you?


If you've seen the video bootleg of the show,you'll know what I'm taking about

Ha ha, no. I've seen that video and I'm over to the right out of the frame most of the time. You can only see my head for a split second. I was standing directly in front of the speakers, stupidly frying my eardrums. But most of the flashes you see going off are probably mine (well, about 40 of them anyway).

That's unreal. My jealousy level is at a record high.

Can't even imagine what is must have been like to be there for that.
