    I apologize for my ignorance, but what does “OP” mean?  Other Pearljammer?  Lol
    Original post 
    Yes, most of us despise the term jammer or jamily...

    I still say it's just blue, lol.

    I’ll take just blue.  I’ve been looking for one for 3 years but I’ve never asked on the forum—-just my own searching.   I never knew there were even two possible variants until someone asked me if mine was light or dark blue.

    Sounds like a question for @pdalowsky
    Paul is the only one that I would trust that says there is 2 blues and I completely disagree w him, lol.

    I still think that the darker ones were the first to be made and were lighter as the rest were printed.

    That is my thoughts and they aren't worth squat, lol!
    Hahahaha, 

    My contact worked at the plant back in the day dude. He told me this expressly. If the runs were a gradual bleeding of the blue we would see all manners of shades as the thing got lighter. There are two distinct presses I have - a very pale blue, and a dark blue. They do not even look like they could be from the same colouring at all. 

    For the record I see the OP's as the dark variant
    Great news for the OP! Now can you help me out with this?

    I see pink in the grey but only see teal  and no white.

    When it came to the sound I heard Laurel and Yanni because I have an audiophile ear.

    I don’t see pink and I know in the dress one I was able to see both colors depending on when I looked at it.

    Ugh I need all of them EXCEPT the dark blue now.  I just started collecting these.

    My new PJ collecting goal is 7” promos.

    @tempo_n_groove:  if you’re interested in selling your Orange I’m interested!  I’m not happy with any of the discogs offerings.

    I know that they have the same number of pressings (100) but it seems like you never see the blue yet there are currently 5 oranges on discogs.  I guess people prefer blue more.  It seems to command higher prices, and at least on discogs, quite a few less of the blue are owned than orange.

    Jim I am glad you posted because I was beginning to think that I'd never see a light blue.  It's daunting to know that I now need a light blue as well as all of the other colors.

    Question:  I know on discogs that it says that both the blue and orange were pressed in 100 or less copies, but I have read elsewhere that there were more orange pressed than blue.  Can anyone confirm or deny?  Thanks!

    150 is a fair price for an orange.

    @pdalowsky How many orange?

    I don't know if it's folklore or what But I always thought more Orange were printed too.

    I do know that there were quite a few fixer records at the 2013 Pop up shop and I would say that more than 100 were printed of each.

    Good Question Chris my recollection of this was there were 200 Orange Fixers - but its been 11 years so my memory is a touch foggy LOL

    I’ll find where I read that.  The source definitely said less blue than orange, and it would appear that way from Discogs, which I know is not always correct.

    Here's what I found"

    I still think that's horseshit.  The color blue was just getting lighter during the pressing.  I've got all 4 and consider it complete.

    I don't care what any of you say, lol.

    I also believe that there are about 200 orange pressed.
    Is your basis for the 200 because there were a few in the mystery boxes?

    @temp@tempo_n_groove :  could you verify?
