Found some of my old 10club newsletters from the mid 90s today. Boy times have certainly changed!

A limited edition of 1000 poster for $13 to order through the mail? Free tour poster with every order??

A lot changes in 20 years for sure.....

    That Cherub/Angel Sticker goes for over $100 too now.

    I was in high school back in those days, so the only thing I have is one of the winter hats that I still wear.

    I believe the poster I bought at my first show in '95 was 5 bucks.
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    I have debated for years taking one of these old order forms and sending a check for $13 and ordering a poster.   Just to see what would happen.

    I had B-1, the maroon thermal for what seemed like 20 years. One of my favorite shirts ever. No idea where it went. :(

    I wish they would bring back the Vitalogy Angel sticker with the re-release of that album box set (wishful thinking all around)...
    If anyone has an extra one of those, let me know- I'd love to trade for it!

    If they didn't sell all 1,000 at the time, it might work!

    We can discuss a trade for the Angel sticker.

    And you know they were on sale for more than three seconds.

    Still have the S-7 green thermal, its a bit snug these days, and had the T-1 thermal tank (what an odd combo), not sure where that is. Might still be hiding under a bunch of stuff in a closet.

    Who in the balls would pay 100 for a sticker?

    Likely the same people that can't get their money out fast enough to pay $1,000+ for a poster, or a record set ;)

    I may fall into the second category here but it’s because I can cover a lot of wall space with that purchase.  A sticker though, I would consider quite a strong move seeing as no one will ever see it except those on this forum eight?  Whatevs, to each his own, it’s not my money- maybe I’m just jealous!

    Back when it was based on the monetary value of your order.

    haha, what does it make me.  I passed up on Vancouver '98 because I thought it was too small at the show.  Never bothered to order it from the 10c newsletter.  Then years later I bought it for $200+ because I wanted it for my collection (of which such a thing never existed in 98).

    I bought a bunch of the 96 posters and tacked them to my dorm wall. That was dumb.

    +1 to this so much, but at least I still have an original Istanbul 96 with some stories

    I bought one of those chicken iron-ons. That shirt made it through maybe three washes before I ruined it, ha.
