hahahahhahaahaaaa I guess I'm taking one for the team.... i'll just go spin my Benaroya #0263 in remorse for a couple tracks and think up some art project for this backspacer...
Black Backspacer and turquoise I Am Mine. I'm in the losers bracket. Donated to someone who appreciated them more. Of course I'll try again when offered a mystery anything, this one was just a bummer. Congrats to all who scored big!
Easy come and easy go.
Easy left me a long time ago.

I'm down with the I am Mine single!
I didn't read that as already donated for some reason... I'm just excited about all the vinyl everywhere!

A turquoise I am mine is nice to get new but yeah not really worth the $. Bit crappy they couldn't make each package have at least a retail value of $50. If they can sell a Backspacer for $15 then imagine what it costs 10c.
So I didn't get mystery vinyl which is fine. You win some and you lose some.
I have to say though that I'm a bit annoyed to see the Mike colored vinyl popping up in people's boxes. When they originally went on sale, my order went through but was later canceled and refunded. If they had extras, they should have honored those sales rather than stashing them away for the mystery sale. Not cool.
Got a white Backspacer and Not For You / Not For You 7 inch in Springfield, MO. Don't have either so I'm a pretty happy camper!
When I opened my mailer today, I saw I also had a Backspacer lp (but the 45 was LBC). Since I'm near Kansas City, MO, I thought maybe this was like the Mystery Poster sale where it looked like the same geographic areas got similar posters. So when I opened up my Backspacer, I fully expected it to be white vinyl. A little surprised to get black vinyl. Oh well.
Bummer my friend. Hope LBC is new to your collection at least. Ironically, I fully expected mine to be the black version. I won't lie and say I didn't have an initial twinge of disappointment upon seeing the BS artwork but, I had a little luck on my side I guess. Just glad to have had a fair shot at the Avocado and Riot Act for a decent price. The hunt continues....
Thanks, man. Appreciate it. I hope it's OK with people for me to say I was a bit disappointed with my Mystery Vinyl, but at the same time I'm not mad about it. Just like it is cool with me for people to be ecstatic when they score something they really wanted but probably couldn't have afforded any other way. I seriously am happy for those folks, and there seems to be a bunch of them.
The good news is, only recently have I gotten back into buying vinyl (it's a long story, but I have a decent amount of vinyl from the 1960s and 70s that I've had forever), so even though I could have bought my Backspacer from the shop for $15, at least I didn't have it yet.

I don't think that was mathematically possible, was it? It seems like 10C did their best, but there came a point where they just couldn't find a pairing like that anymore.

The literally **** you in the drive thru. I landed Lightning Bolt and .......... a RNDM 7". The excitement is literally killing me. I may have to call into work.
What color is the L.B. vinyl? I've seen a few posts where people complain they got nothing rare (like fixers, backspacers, or l.b's) but they never opened then to check the colour of the vinyl. Maybe you got a red l.b?
Definitely open it to check the color. I kinda said the same thing, then opened it and was like oh wow! Got a MLB single and LB red. Hope it's not defective red. It was sealed so I kinda wonder. My 3rd copy of MLB so definitely up for trade or sale for cheap if anyone shockingly doesn't have this yet who wants it.

Check the runout on the Red. It should read something like B0018983-01 A or B depending on which side you're looking at. Then there is a circled u, if there is a roman two (II) after it, it's the repress.

I think that's a completely fair stance, for what my opinions worth. It is genuinely cool to see people excited about landing this stuff. All I care is that it winds up in the hands of people who will enjoy it/spin it.
I'm fairly new to collecting (about a year into collecting for real) and I'm just glad to have a fair shake at some of the rare stuff. I got lucky early on and landed No Code and Yield but, everything else is a little rich for my blood currently. But someday....

I agree, with the people who will spin it part. I've been buying their albums on vinyl when they were brand new. Well I was in Jr high when Vitalogy came out and my brother gave he his copies of Vs and Vitalogy on vinyl, and at the time you could still buy sealed first edition copies of 10 at local record stores, and so I did. And i bought every album since then new on vinyl. The only exception was "Binaural" because I was in college and my record player had broken so I decided as a broke college student a CD was enough for now. I remember when buying "Avocado", "Riot Act" was still available online and no tin demand. It wasn't until "Backspacer" came out I had a new record player and I decided to finally backfill my missing "Binaural" and saw how much much they were selling for! Avocado was selling for $500 at the time, and I honestly didn't think they were worth anything because I never bothered checking. But that didn't matter, I still spin the vinyl more than any other method. Except Binaural, sadly never did get that one....yet. Why do I want to keep them as collectibles? So my kids can sell them as new, never played when I die? Nope!

Ah, Binaural. That's the one I hope to land most of all. I'm a little crushed reading that at the time you could have purchased the Avocado and Riot Act LPs on the site without any hassle, though I understand the demand for them, and vinyl in generally, has skyrocketed. I was a senior in HS then, and I can remember the excitement of being able to purchase a new PJ record for the first time since I'd really become a fan. Collecting the vinyl started as another way to expand my PJ collection but, its grown into my main medium for buying music.
As for keeping them as collectibles? I don't get it either. The artwork and the records themselves are gorgeous yes, but they're meant to be spun...and they look a lot prettier in motion anyway.

Not mathematically possible from the list of items no. Just seems that limiting it to one 12" and one 7" means some people get short changed.
So I didn't get mystery vinyl which is fine. You win some and you lose some.

I am in the same boat, man. I was waiting to say anything. Pretty disappointing - almost like they would rather spite me than honor my purchase. Strange business practice
