I just saw this on eBay. It's an autographed Gorge CD set signed by the band and all proceeds go to benefit the American Cancer Society Relay For Life. I was kind of surprised no one has made a bid yet.

    I know is a good cause but maybe $300 as a starting price is a little bit high.

    $300 for an UNVERIFIED cause, from a seller with NO HISTORY, and presenting NO EXPLANATION on how it got in their hands... anyone smell something? ...because this is fishy.

    I just sent the seller the question "how did you get this signed cd". Not that I'll trust his answer, but let's see what he says.
    ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you. :)

    Veerrrry cool! :)

    I don't like seeing him left out...and he's underappreciated. :( I hope I'm wrong about that...but that's the feeling I get.

    Anyway, thanks for bringing that to my attention because I saw a banner that asked people to be involved in an event that would go to American Cancer Society - Relay For Life. This certain donation for the PJ Gorge CD will go to the Illinois Division:
    American Cancer Society - Illinois Division
    Certified for eBay Giving Works since 2006. MissionFish nonprofit ID 14547.

    Note to buyers: MissionFish deducts $3.00 plus 2.9% of stated donations for transaction costs. The American Cancer Society is the nationwide community-based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives, and diminishing suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy, and service. For more information, visit http://www.Cancer.org.

    Location: Chicago, IL 60601
    Web address: http://www.Cancer.org

    And this benefits me as well...because I am almost ready to quit smoking and this seems to be informative, as well as prevention and detection since there is history of cancer in my family.

    As more people are unemployed and/or reduced/loss of insurance benefits, there is even greater need of donations.

    PJ did their part in donating their items that they could help out with their signatures and the fan in return gets it.

    It also helps spread awareness.

    It got my attention.... so thank you, OP. :)

    300 dollars seems a lot...but you got Boom on it and it is for a great cause, especially right now.

    Thanks Santos! Glad it was confirmed officially. I wonder if TC minds if we email them every time an autographed item comes up for sale... there's been some fakes out there in the world.

    If the CD had your paw print on it as well, they could get at least $3,000 for it. :mrgreen:

    Were you the lucky bidder IamMine?

    Nice little item for the collection. Not too many "Boom and the Boys" collectives out there.
