Thanks for the advice,I appreciate it,it's definitely a big learning curve....I might already be hooked as my next road trip plan has already changed to include vintage/record stores etc

Welcome to the madness!!!

Well here @ the Lost Dogs forum is your first stop for PJ goodies sold by fans for fans. The 10club store is great. So is Amazon. eBay is too but be sure to read all the info & details before pulling that trigger to buy. If you got questions on any PJ goodies, just email 10club and they will help you out or even post your questions here on a certain item. Keep an eye out on Santos L. Halper's posts over @ the Porch. If there's a way to get email notifications when he starts threads on PJ goodies go up for sale, try to get on that notice, stat!!

All the best!!

Just buy things that are meaningful to you and skip those that are not.

If I saw a 1996 EV Guitar, I'd probably pass even if I could afford it comfortably. It means nothing to me; however, others would kill for such an item for some other reason. The flip is the KC poster; it's not my favorite image, but the concert was special to me, so I value the poster more than others.

If you think you're investing... Well, good luck.

Definitely not thinking of it as investing really,I'll just buy shit cuz I like it! If anything it will be money that I won't see again because I don't plan on flipping it,just admiring it

4 Golden rules of PJ collecting.
Rule #1 Only collect things you like. If you buy something and the value goes down, it won't matter.
Rule #2 Try and get the stuff yourself, it has much more meaning and you will never, ever part with it.
Rule #3 Research expensive stuff, there are fakes out there.
Rule #4 Have fun and don't go overboard.

Maybe somebody mentioned this. If you are sure on something that you want, put an ISO ( in search of) on here. You may get multiple offers, you may get none. You can then decide what offer to take. People on here are pretty reasonable, some are damn right generous! Good luck.
