Collector ALERT... Super rare vinyl - CLOSED/SOLD

pdalowsky

Here's an opportunity to obtain some crazy rare vinyl for your collection

I've been asked to move a few pieces by a good contact who discovered these gems this last week in his collection

First up we have the set of 6 x 7 inch record set- initially pressed to promote the ten reissue release. All colour coded to the sleeves. An incredible collectible that for some unknown reason was never given out or used to promote the release. As a result only a very very limited number have made it to the market.

This is highly sought after and initially sold for $3000 plus ... However settled around the $2500 on eBay before the supply completely dried up. In Fact it hasn't been available on eBay for a very long time.

More can be read on this promo here

http://www.pjcollectors.com/detail.asp?id=1984

It is believed - from a source that is always very accurate that there is only around 100 of each set made. Big hole and small hole versions.

This particular set is slightly damaged - it has a small corner crease on one of the sleeves - it's minor but it's there so has to be mentioned. I can supply pictures.... It is this small crease that has resulted in the price being very heavily discounted to $1500. That is a saving of anything up to a grand in the normal market price. The price is firm however a few installments might be acceptable

There was a mint set available too at the full price but that set is pending right now. If that changes ill update here accordingly.

The second item for sale is a mint blue fixer....we all know that item well. It's available at $300. Again price is firm

Grab them whilst you can. These are serious additions to your collection. When they are gone they are gone and given the past availability of them ... Who knows if they'll ever come up again

Any questions ? Just drop me a pm - always here to help.

Decent price on this rare set. Saw one on Ebay within the past year listed for $3000 for the set. I would jump on it, but already got it prob from same guy thru this same thread initially. I was nervous about shelling out that kind of dough to someone thru PayPal, but got it without any problems. Trust Paul and his connections!! (Even though he's from UK)

Whoa!! Same seller? Do they have the custom box sets that goes with them?

Think 10club will ever sell these for $200 a pop at their next Pop Shop event?

PP193448

Bennys were $350 so those might go for that or more at the next pop shop. Doubt it, but that would be crazy. Maybe they could raffle some of these rare items thru the tenclub to benefit their charities they support. Wonder why they wouldn't try something like that. They did the raffle at the Seattle pop shop and it was packed in the Showbox when they drew names. I'm sure they would make shitload of money for charity if they raffled off similar items every year. Signed guitar, signed skateboard, glow in dark a PJ 20. That would be awesome. Maybe do raffle once or twice a year. How bout it?

pdalowsky

Don't ever see that happening, i don't think they ever got out of the pressing plant and with it being cancelled - its about as likely as them suddenly selling the giveway and the missing link posters.

the GITD and coloured PJ20's were different as they were official released promos

lotsalemon

Ten Club has auctions on ebay for various items, to benefit charities like the Vitalogy Foundation. So they sort of do this already.

So this is not an official Pearl Jam promo release? If not, then why hasn't Kat and Sea here shut down this offer on this release? Wouldn't this be, illegal? Just wondering because if it's not an official Pearl Jam promo item, and the band co. terminated this, how is it spreading? Have they charged the one's who took these copies and selling them? I just find it weird this is selling for over $1500+ when it was only pressed a few years ago? Given away, for free?

I just hope Pearl Jam Co. & the 10club presses more of these and releasing them, for under 50 bucks. But that's never gonna happen. But you never know.

Perhaps its not sensitive, we don't know the full story about these other than it never made it out.

They have been sold for years on ebay and never shut down, as have the missing link prints and giveways. Whereas unofficial bootleg items have been shut down systematically.

what do you mean by spreading?

and seriously, have they charged the ones? for real?

dude you find it weird that people are paying $1500 for a rare item? You know GITD records were given away too and sell for north of two grand? and they are even newer? and that the triple coloured records have been doing a grand lately that are made in much higher quantities. Lets not forget that the white backspacer records initially made $3000 when they were scarce despite being freebies, and the blue fixer alone started around $1500 on ebay - again another giveway and all very recent items. as a collector yourself I am staggered at your suggestion you find the values weird. I would have thought that you of all people would understand that pearl jam collectibles are extremely valuable, and the value isn't determined by the age but by the quantity made and a products availability.

I get nothing from these sales, the only reason I even post them here is to try and make sure that real fans get a chance at them, and at a very realistic way under market price, and to keep them away from finding ebay in the future and to be available to only those with the very deep pockets. I just know that these sell for way more than this - and this just gives friends and fans the chance to get a great rarity for their collection at what I hoped would prove a cheap price.

Given that a single record recently sold for $1000 on ebay - i would say this is definitely reasonable. In fact I never saw a set sell as cheaply as this anywhere yet.

But to answer the first question - My understanding is that this is an official pearl jam made promo release - it was just not distributed - that's where the uncertainty lies as to why. But i don't see this as a reason it cannot be sold, however if im wrong on that Id be happy to withdraw this offer immediately. Never an intention to disregard any rules here.

You obviously know better than that.

Paul is as bright as they come. He wouldn't risk his position, which is to say his great standing in the fan community, by promoting anything less than genuine and/or official items that others are looking to spread to fellow fans in the community.

PP193448

Hope I didn't spark this discussion today. Just wanted to show some support for Paul and encourage anyone who would attempt to purchase this that you can trust to get the item as specified. Peace.

True! White Backspacers were $3000 on eBay then a year later (or was it 2 years?) 10club sold them for $30 bucks online. The blue Fixer's @ $1500 on eBay late r10club sells them @ the Pop Shop for just $75 bucks. Colored PJ20 Vinyls are selling for over $1000 on eBay, 10club sells them @ the Pop Shop for $300 bucks. Which means this could someday happen. This 1990-1992 Boxed Set Sampler .. could go for $200 or $300 at the Pop Shop. You never know. That's what I'm trying to say.

I just find it weird for an for an item, that was never officially released any where's that's only 7 year's old fetching for $1500+ dollars, that was given away for free, or maybe .. stolen from the 10club? If this was never to be released, officially. Maybe 10-15 year's down the road it will go for that. But $1500+ right now?

Charged as in who got hold of these copies. The company, Epic / Legacy, who pressed these must of known where they went to. I mean you just don't hand 200 of these copies freely to anyone on the street. It was sent some wheres. Shocking this user has sold 2. How many more does he / she have?

Just IMO, Paul. Nothing against you man. Just what I see. I can buy it right now. No problem. Just fishy the same user is selling more. Maybe it's Tim's friend selling these? j/k .

pdalowsky

Lets forget it - clearly theres a complete lack of understanding on market value and what an item would be worth.

for all we know once they were consigned to the bin whoever got these was permitted by his employers to retain them. who knows. but i don't see any reason to second guess that on a message board. I don't even understand why that would be important or something to bring up.

Stolen from tenclub? dude come on, seriously????

all promos are free - that's the nature of a promo. Promos hold the highest values in the pj collectors world. I fail to see your logic whatsoever.

Even if these were sold at a pop up - they would be very very lmited given the understanding 150 sets were pressed. We know bennys were made to around 2200-2500 and pop up sales are $400. The retail price of that item remains in excess of $1000. Im baffled as to why you think the price here is unthinkable? theres a huge percentage of pj collectors out there who have paid more (yes I might even have to look at myself), so clearly the value is there.

Ever seen Jack White records that were promos sell immediately for $4000? obviously when extremely limited.

Its your prerogative to wait it out, and hope it drops, for your sake i hope it does one day. But from what we know that's very unlikely. But why we need to make a drama out of it is something that is somewhat confusing.

Fishy? some people just have good connections, I wouldn't call that fishy. As has been posted here before, theres an undercurrent of fishy antics in the bootleg world with people distributing all manners of stuff and even recently the pressing of bootleg vinyls. I would think that would be a far bigger issue.

I'm curious if Ten Club will be doing any more pop up shops when they're pushing out the rare items through their ebay account, and fetching above market value. I got the sense in the last newsletter that they're going to try to maximize their return on those sales, which wouldn't include selling Bennys for $350 at a pop up.

Not trying to derail this thread; I think it's relevant for people holding off on purchasing items in hopes it will eventually show up online or at a pop up.

Wrong Eric. What I do is trade & distribute LIVE bootlegs, freely & "legal". I don't make a dime. For fans, by fans. The only thing that I've invested is my time to hook up my friends, freely. Nothing more. Nothing less. Talk to those that do make a profit and sell. Not me.

I love that the 10club are auctioning off rare Pearl Jam goodies on eBay. Where all items sold, 100% of the profits go to the Vitalogy Foundation. Only thing I don't like is they only ship to USA. They don't ship any where's else. Cause I would LOVE to bid on them so my money goes directly to charity.

demetrios

Didn't mean to hijack your thread Paul. Very sorry man. Just that of all my year's collecting Pearl Jam stuff, and I've been collecting A LOT of rare PJ merch since '91, this is the only item that I'm still shocked about @ it's value. Everything else, I'm cool with. This one, still get's to me every single time.

What exactly is wrong about my statement? Your reply only confirmed what I stated: that you trade and distribute bootlegs, correct? So you know the difference between a bootleg and an official release, correct? And you know the items being offered up by Paul's source are in fact official and not a bootleg, correct? Which is to say you shouldn't be questioning whether something being offered here is "illegal" when you know it's not, correct?

Be more careful with your words is all I'm suggesting. You've seen what has happened in the past when you've made "assumptions" only to be proven wrong.

No probs man, I cant say i understand - but we are all entitled to our opinions.

But do let me know if you want it LOL

seriously i DO understand the frustration though. There have been countless test presses on ebay the last few year that I would really love to jump on, and we have to ask the same question - how do test presses get out there? I can never afford them but i sure would love to and if i could I would. The limited items are always a nightmare and regularly outside my budget, and being the compulsive guy i am I always want each item. I guess I have to live with the fact that its just not possible and sometimes I cant have it.

Well off course this item is official. It say's Sony all over it. What I'm trying to say is if this item isn't supposed to be out there in the hands of the fan's, why is it then? Who is this one selling a 2nd copy & probably more here? It's OK to sell this product here that shouldn't be? THAT's what i'm trying to say. And the fact that it's value is high.

The following is what I replied to ...

You were proven wrong back in Philly '09. So don't you dare point any fingers at me. OK?

Just wanted to say thanks for trying to hook some of us up Paul, don't want you to think these threads aren't appreciated.
