Backspacer vinyl

in The Porch
I have been collecting vinyls for a while now, and I almost have all the Pearl Jam studio albums on vinyls, at exception of Lighting Bolt, Gigaton and Backspacer. Whilst the first 2 are easy to find... backspacer is impossible to find! Especially at a reasonable price! Indeed the lowest one I saw on eBay was like more than hundred euros! Do you know why this record is so expensive and rare? And also, do you know a site where I can buy it with a reasonable price? 
Thank you in advance to everyone will answer! :)

    I went to dig this double out recently to help someone making this plea and discovered my nephew has my double. 
    Had no idea it was selling like this.

    Good luck!

    Probably because Backspacer came out in 2009.   That was just at the beginning (or just before) the current Vinyl craze started.   Vinyl has gotten a lot more popular in the following 12 years.     A pressing size for '09 isn't anywhere near as big as what gets pressed now.  It's crazy how vinyl popularity keeps getting bigger, so now stuff pressed at the beginning of the vinyl resurgence is becoming hard to find :(

    It was available on Amazon not that long ago. Not sure when It became unavailable. But I could have sworn it was up in the past year

    If all else fails, I think I can find you a White Backspacer in the 150 euros range. I hear they're coveted..

    Repress in 2020. Not a reissue. There is nothing different from the 09 release.

    I had about 8 of them I tried selling for $25 just a couple years ago. Could only sell one for that price. Ended up selling the rest on eBay. 
    I had 8 extras because at one time 10c was selling them for $10 so I bought them for wall decor until I needed a way to fund my Wrigley trip.

    I have already tried discogs, but nor lost dogs forum,  so thx!

    Man shipping is so out of control, I have one but in US, it would cost a lot to lot.

    I've been looking for this one too, but no luck on discogs or my local store. Anyone have one in the US that they'd be willing to part with?

    You're right. Repress was March 27th 2020. 

    Searched barcode 804879169413  & catalogue B001926901 via Google.

    Haven't seen a Backspacer vinyl pop up for sale.
