The one in the picture that you quoted?  Yeah, that's one of the aged and unsigned from 2016, serial number 9   

I should read better, his pick is from 92...

How do you know it's  #9?

In terms of a physical item I would say my signed Avocado vinyl is dearest to my heart:
As far as experiences, I would say this dedication in Philly:

^^ personalized signed items are the best!
Can you share the story behind this?

Sure, when S/T first came out there was an arts &crafts contest in Deep Mag where you had to use an avocado pit in some creative way and the prize was a signed vinyl.  I carved the pit to look like Ed's face and used other pits to create  hands and a guitar, then put it all together in the form of a nightlight.  It took like 40 hours  and I got a lot of ribbing from friends who teased me about spending so much time carving my rock god's likeness out of avocado pits,  but when the vinyl arrived a few months later everyone was blown away that it was personalized, and had a little wave drawing by Ed.
Well worth the effort.

Guitar pick given to me by Eddie at the HOF induction of REM. Backstage pass from Randalls 96 second place.

Backstage pass from Randall’s?!?! Do tell more!!

Well it sounds like a bigger deal than it was.  Friend of mine had some connections and got us tickets and passes for the second show.  Tickets were fine but the passes were for the day before.  We showed up and the security said no worries you guys can come in.  The passes were from Epic records. We did not get access to the band as they had a small area that was closed off entirely for VIPs and family.  We did get free food and drinks and got to watch them walk to the stage right in front of us. If you were at that show you know how nice it was to sneak in and out of the pit, grab a beer and some food then sneak back in. Oh and the show was great too!
