What is considered rare or hard to get?

Lots a good stuff on this forum. Wondering what collectors consider some of the rarest items out there.

    Vs on blue might be the 'rarest' PJ vinyl...i've seen it for sale maybe 3 times over the last 15 years
    PJ20 on glow in the dark vinyl
    10 sampler box set test presses...only 10-12 made
    test presses of any of the albums
    10 doormat

    never sure about the numbers on anything pressed but those, to me, are the actual rare ones. PJ20 glow in the dark is available if you have the money, the other 2 i mentioned were rarely seen.

    Very cool. Didn't know there was a 10 welcome mat! Sounds like it was used in record/cd shop aisles to point to where PJ is.
    Pearl Jam Doormat

    I own 2 of these.  One I actually use and another that is as minty fresh as that one.  One of my favs.

    As far as vinyl Im probably repeating what has been said...

    Red/Blue Orpheum.  100 produced.  
    Has never been for sale on discogs.  I’ve seen five sales total since its release and four of those were within a month of it’s release.  

    PJ20 GITD is another one out of 100 I think, with only 25 of each cover.  

    PJ sampler test presses (if test presses count)

    Blue VS has to take the cake tho.  I dont even bother searching for that.

    Didn’t someone just locate a blue vs? There’s one in VG condition on discogs for $10000US 😂

    How is this a coincidence considering you've been ISO one forever?

    Wow. Says it’s believed to be one of a kind but 3 have it. That is a beeeyootiful record.  I saw a Vs. Promo that looked like it was orange in colour on eBay last night. Was in a plain white sleeve with a PJ rectangular label. Then there was another one which said it was “coloured vinyl” but the pictures looked like black vinyl.
    I was interested but not sure if these are official.

    I'll defend by saying it's very very low likelihood they have it - people miscategorize records all the time on Discogs. I would have to think there is at least another couple out there if they made it through South America in the 90s. This came from the home of a variant collector in Colombia so is in good condition as well.

    Makes sense. It took me a bit to learn the nuances of discogs. For instance, I have a sealed In Utero RE from 2009. The coloured vinyl. The numbers are the same but of those 4000 coloured vinyls produced, a certain number were produced at Pallas Pressing in Germany and they are neon yellow as opposed to the cream coloured US pressings. They have the same identifiers and look exactly the same.

    I don’t know how many neon-yellows there are but on discogs the difference in asking price is $300US. Found this beauty at a record shop
    here in Calgary for $99CDN. The owner even said he could get $250 on eBay if wanted lol. 

    Anyways...point was I had accidentally and incorrectly noted the cream coloured one as part of my collection so I’m sure it happens often. 

    Any idea what that variant would be worth? Something that rare would be gold 




  • Rare PJ things that come to mind.

    Early promo items like the matt, basketball hoops, vodka, jack daniels, megaphone, yield sign.
    Freak, giveway, rarefied and live, monkeywrench radio, vault 1, z100 booklet, advanced copies.
    Angel unedited, first xmas, blue fixer, orange fixer.
    Chapstik, sunglasses, Cherub sticker, toast, WMA, flame.
    Slipcover friends and family books, challenge coins, moleskine books, itinerary's.

    Not sure to be honest - I don't think a Blue is worth $10k though (no offense if that is someone on here). I think the Blue is worth $2500-$3500 by most estimates, which would make this realistically only slightly higher. But that's a shot from the hip.

    be wary of the blue vs if they pop up. there is a "replica" version floating around too. though the one or two times i've seen it, it was sold as a replica to the rare official version. the real blue vs. has sold for $2400-$3000
