Very cool collection!

elwayvedder · July 2019

where do i start?
I honestly don't know where to start. Getting old in age and realizing there are bigger things than merch, I gave up collecting most PJ/EV merch except for 2 things...I just couldn't walk away for my love of PJ guitar picks and EV Zippos. I obsess over both and decided if i could stand my ground no longer collecting everything else, then having the thrill and chase of still collecting picks and zippos was ok.
Ever since I was a kid - I collected things and my parents called me a "completist". To them that meant I collected one of everything. Every hot wheels or match box car. Every Star Wars figure. Every John Elway card ever made...those were my goals that somehow were in my personality even as a young child and here I am still trying to do the same today.
So when I heard the rumor that a variation EV Brass/Gold Zippo for the Euro tour was happening and only 30 would be made (less available as I think EV kept #23 and Tsurt kept #7 (my #!!), I was beyond disheartened. I have spent the past 10 years collecting EV zippos and except for the Wrigley Friends Family version, I had worked hard to have every zippo made available to us, the fans and public.
Then there it was...the gold/brass zippo in Ireland.
I had so many friends over time help me but I didn't have a lot at the show in Ireland
I am blessed with so many friends over time including this past tour help me get to where I am today but then the brass/gold happened and I was SOL...my collection would be incomplete
Then I got a PM..from @lastexitlondon
and my hope restored. That feeling of hope, excitement and the chase was back...everything as a kid and as an adult I love to feel as a collector
I didn't want to say anything or celebrate until it was in hand. That happened yesterday. I learned a long time ago that sometimes shipping goes wrong. Especially overseas and with customs etc. So I held my breath for a good week but yesterday it arrived. I traded the UPS driver a cold bottle of water for a box. Got inside and opened her up and voila- a gold/brass zippo keeping my collection complete (again not counting the F&F Wrigley one although one day I hope that happens too LOL).
There are no true words to thank everyone involved. Everyone who Pm'd me to offer to help. Everyone who put their wants, wishes and needs for their personal collecctions aside to wish me luck and of course @lastexitlondon
and his friend for helping make it a reality.
I sit here in awe.
Now I think it's time to get a display case. This collection deserves better than sitting on a shelf.
Each zippo represents something and someone. Each represents a story. Each zippo represents a friendship in how the zippo got in my collection.
That's what's great about collecting. The hunt is fun. Then the achievement feels good. However the best part is the stories, the friendships and helping each other or helping others in need. That's what binds us all together. This band and this circle of fans we complete with each other
