    I thought I knew all the cool merch things.  What is the Vitalogy mirror? @LN241653
    It’s such a cool item, very similar to the mirrors you see in bars but just with vitalogy on it.
    Not sure if this was handed out to certain people at the time or not but I’ve only ever seen one come up for sale which at the time I couldn’t afford, the search continues!!

    Randall’s island 96 poster. Finally gave away my banged up original show bought one to a friend in need.
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    Cleveland 98 s/n which I was lucky enough to secure a few years ago.  Looks great alongside the Bruce Davidson photo, one of my favourite photographers paired with a favourite band!

    I believe you meant this as a give away in the RAK thread to the first responder. I'll take the lot, thank you very much!

    My Grail would be Pearl Jam Vs/Vitalogy Collector's Edition.
    I know there are some on Discogs but the thing is heavy and shipping costs are expensive. I don't give up on it though so I'm still looking to acquire it.

    My husband found one for me at a local music resale shop.  For a very long time (we watched it) it was listed as $375. That was while it was still available here. They know him well and he happened to have been there the day they decided to just clear it out and get rid of it.  (After it was no longer available here.)  It didn't seem played and just like the Ten boxset that he purchased in the same way, none of the interior contents were even out of the wrapping.  He paid $75 for Ten and $100 for V/V.  None of those pesky shipping charges, either. :wink: 

    I had a friend keeping watch at another local record store for singles.  Someone turned in 15 annual singles.  I needed 13 of them.  Paid $100.  I don't think that they were even played.  Still missing three (not including the ones we are presently owed.)  I believe that Santa may have one for me, but my husband is still looking for the other two more difficult to find copies . . . We kind of aren't interested in going into debt for them, so they'll show up when they are supposed to.  

    Hang in there.  You may be surprised what you can find.  Make friends with your local record store owners.  I find that they are thrilled to find a good home for lovelies like these.

    Seattle set list shirt night 2 size medium or large (2018).
    Chicago set list shirt night 1 size medium or large (2018). 

    I don’ have anything to trade. I just started collecting in the last couple of years and love everything I have. It didn’t dawn on me that I should purchase multiples!!

    can I ask a dumb question? Why do people reply with “ bump”? I am also new to this forum. 

    Thanks!

    I was fortunate to find the Ten Collector's Edition on some website, a man from Belgium sold it to me at €160, it was a perfect deal. I live far from the biggest cities of my region and we don't have local record stores in my lost little corner of France. I still have faith I'll find the Vs/Vitalogy one but not where I live. I know I'll find it someday. I keep hope alive and cross fingers!!
    Thank you for sharing your story @deadendp
