Would love one/ both of the PJ enamel mugs (not the LB ones). I gave the one guys selling them on eBay a reasonable Best Offer and didn’t even get a decline.

There’s a purple VS on eBay? 

Also a s/n AP Vedder batmobile poster currently at $3.25 (yes, three dollars).

Sometimes  its not about money .
Its about the item finding  a home that  truely is where it belongs. And the joy that can bring.

This person definitely gets it.
Who I secured my grail from mattered everything as well as where it goes. Me, I wanted the jacket, and a clean disc, from a board member  was a bonus. I got it here in 2014. I am the third owner. I was offered 3,500. by someone, but didn't take $ for several reasons. I was supposed to be the 4ever hm, so it being signed "To Scott" is part of its history. Of no concern for me. Almost 30 yrs old. That is hard to wrap my head around.
Might as well share.

OMG you have the one that Stone signed!

I remember reading about this.

You shouldn't sell this.  As a matter of fact if you offered it to me I wouldn't take it.  You need to keep this!

It also tells the meaning of reeenk roink!!!

Now THIS GUY gets it! 👍 Never met him, but he's a good dude. 

He'll be a better dude, in fact he will be the best dude, when he sends me a JD promotion kit or the Ten basketball hoop & ball promotion set. 

the basketball set is my grail. Orange and green with the hoop. How much are they worth?

I really have no idea. Especially in today's crazy ass PJ resale market. Total speculation would be $800???

Did I seriously just see a Pittsburgh ‘13 go for almost $9,000 on eBay?

Doubt it but prices in general are getting nuts.  Billie Eilish Live at Third Man Records vinyl went for almost $2500 the other day i think.  

Lol a unplugged RSD release, anyone....

The contents of this tape......or any similar tape....

the embarrassment of riches id give to the person who hooks it up would be legendary. 

I think these are the Rough Mixes. I think they are widely bootlegged.

Unlike something like 'the stuffins' tapes that we know exist and should have this unreleased song  'I Wont'. Whose lyrics were also at display at the PJ20 expo.

thanks for the comment. I dont believe 'First Takes' is the same as Rough Mixes. Besides the track listing differences and different dates  associated with each (within a month of each other, but still different), im basing it off of comments / stories ive heard over the years about this tape. Here's a fun link to more info from Rick's amazing (and most definitely missed site): https://web.archive.org/web/20051101201636/http://www.giventowail.com/new/demo/index.php 

Re: Stuffins.....it does exist. no secret there, however 'I Won't' is not included on it (at least not the version i have). I do have a few different working versions of I Won't that range from as short at 2 minutes to as long as 12 minutes (lyrics along with lots of jam)....

Where you should be focusing your efforts for release are all the instrumentals included on Demo #1 (https://www.collectionzz.com/Cockage/pearl-jam-cassette/pearl-jam-demo-1-sept-91-state-of-love-and-trust-x4) - those 4x instrumentals are spectacular and fit right in with the other music released during this time frame.

Yeah, youre right. The 'first takes' is a different tape. But maybe there's a ton of overlap. Since these are the recordings from the first sessions. The rough mixes are selections from those and possible other sessions that were sent to the mixer .

I think 'Just a Girl' from the 'Rarities Unreleased Cuts' disc is from these first tapes.

I would love to hear I Won't someday.

yea there's not many songs that haven't been "leaked" at this point, especially from way back. I Won't would be nice to hear. After seeing different lyrics at the MOPOP exhibit i always wondered what songs were actually recorded. if this I Won't exists...what recording is it on that people have heard?

wow those are some cool artifacts. would love to hear them. are these just pictures off the internet or can someone digitize these for all of us?

Has anyone ever seen or heard of Ed signing "Edward Louis Vedder"
