It would be cool to have a photo of me and my wife meeting Ed.  I think that would look really sweet amongst my collection.  
Another holy grail would be seeing PJ in Italy.
Tangible item: something signed by the entire band.  I have individual signatures but not all five on one item.

Your comment brings an interesting thought. Never considered a moment vs. tangible goods. A concert would be nice. I wouldn’t even really care where. I have only been to one show and feel lucky for that. 

Yeah I hear this.  I’m more into collecting shows at this point than tangible items. (Though I did post that I would die for a pair of  Matt’s sticks at some point). But I’m not quite 30 yet and my Grail is to get to 10 shows. It’s been my dream since I first saw them in 2010. I’ve got a pair of tickets for Nashville (whenever touring opens up again) and that’ll be #7 for me so I’m thinking I’ll be able to make 10 shows happen. I’m beyond happy and grateful for any number of shows I can get to but...yeah...10 shows. That’s all I require for lifelong happiness. 

I'm so right there with you guys. I enjoy reading these threads because the art is amazing and some of the stories around getting the objects are so inspiring or cool or even freaky.

But for me even though I have a few cool items, the memories are far and away the most precious, some outrageously rare (and a few even definitely 1 of a kind). So those experiences (both shows and interactions with the band and some of their extended band family/team) are priceless and I treasure more than any items.

Again though, that said, I enjoy seeing what is most in demand and cheering on those who finally score their holy grails!

Grail found!  Thank you @Attaway77 !!! 

I can’t wait to crack a beer with it!!!!
now all I need to find is a hand written set list from Randall’s 2.  Anybody have an extra? 

Loujoe

Will you add some doodles? Maybe some crossed out songs too? (No blood or red mosquito at my first show.)

Man i cant think of a grail at the moment.    

In the past few years i was able to land my grails:

Sealed Benny
Blue and Red Orpheum
Eddie Vedder Nashville Hatch. 

Maybe i could say a Foil Chief but i need my car.  Cant sell it.  

Satans Red Mosquito

Right now, it would be the multi language mini prints that came along with some AP versions of Lexington 2016

yeah, they didn't have it at the show so i bought it years later secondary market but then made the mistake of block mounting instead of framing so i sold it and now i want it back.

I was at that show and wondered why I didn't get a poster - so they weren't selling it at the show?  Do you know why they didn't sell it?

they didn't get the shipment in time. so they were selling the poster from the show prior.

Oh wow, thanks for the history on that! I like the Fargo poster too, too bad we couldn't get it there.  I take it it's a rare one, since it's showing up here in the Holy Grail convo?

i don't know much about value of posters and rarity and whatnot, but all I know it can fetch anywhere between $300-500.
