    More pragmatic/ attainable-for-me list:
    Vinyl: Philippines Daughter 7” (been searching for years - zero opportunities)

    I found mine through going straight to Philippines shops via Facebook and Discogs. Same with a couple other hard to finds
    from Asia and LatAM. Took a few years of intermittent reach outs but have been pretty lucky.

    im still searching for a Black Daughter 7” though. 
    Some of those import records are tough!

    Not what it used to be worth. But when did any of this make sense. State of mind thing.

    I've been a PJ fan since the early days. My first show was 3/10/94 when I was 13 years old. I was obsessed with PJ and bought virtually everything I could get my hands on when I was a kid; bootlegs, posters, shirts, you name it. My room was plastered almost entirely with Pearl Jam posters.

    Among them were:

    *93 Vs double sided poster they gave out only on release day

    *94 Ames On the road (from 3/10/94 show)

    *96 Prague (my cousin was in college studying abroad and went to the show and got herself one and one for me)

    *98 Alpine/United Center

    In addition there were a ton of other rare posters from the 90s and early 2000s. At least 30-50 cool posters. Some stuff autographed.

    In 2003 my mom moved to Chicago from the suburbs and I moved into my dad's house. I took down all my posters, boxed them up and took them to my dad's. I moved to Chicago shortly after that and didn't bring my posters into my tiny apartment as I didn't have anywhere to put them.

    A few years go by and I get a big enough place and remember all my old posters. I head down to my dad's and go downstairs and strangely all my posters are missing.

    "Dad, where are my posters?"

    "What posters?"

    "I had a gigantic box full of show posters."

    "Ummm I don't know. We had a flood a year ago or so and had to throw a ton of stuff out."

    "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! You didn't think to call me when you discovered 50 posters in a box that may be salvageable and you just threw them away?!?"

    Yes. I am an idiot for not taking better care of my stuff and leaving it in my parent's basement but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to get over it. If they would've called me instead of just tossing them in a dumpster at least! Anyone have a similar story?  

    TLDR my grail would be: 94 on the road, 96 prague and 98 alpine/UC.  Really my whole box would be ideal lol

    I am thinking about offering my Reeenk Roink for sale, but I think the price I need is way to much for the board. I absolutely prefer for it to go to someone here. If I post it on the bay i will ask 3,500.00 and let it sit and see what happens. Here around 3 which is less than I paid for it. 
    I will send pics if anyone on this thread is interested. Wait a few days then post on lost dogs I guess. Depends on the feedback here. Go from here. ty

    Stick to ebay for auctions and fishing.  If you want it to go to a fan then sell it for what you got it for.

    I'll give you $1000.

    From you I would take it. Normally money is not important. This time it is. I think you are right. Hard to explain. It is PJ. ugh, :)

    I would LOVE to give you a grand for it.  It would be framed and hung on my wall forever.  Just sayin.  Don't go to the bay...
