    Wow, that is one hell of a collection.  Wish I had the funds (of course if I did have the funds, the wife would probably not allow me to have all that anyway.  Ha!)

    Just throwing this out there but please be sure you are not just "down in the dumps" due to the pandemic.  Would hate to see you offload all of this then regret it.  Only reason I bring that up is you mentioned this started when Gigaton came out.

    Thanks - this isnt a spur of the moment thing. This is me with the drive gone......the connection to the items is just not there. I'm at peace with this but thanks for raising that - very cool of you to look out just in case

    What a sad day for the PJ collectors community. I haven’t imagined that day in my wildest dreams. Good luck for your sale my friend.

    Hey Paul,  Good luck with your sale!! I just want to second that I hope you stick around as the go to resident expert. It's like in Pawn Stars when they say "let me call my guy to come down and take a look at it". Always polite and very informative.

    Definitely one of the few who I’ve bounced “what did I buy” questions to over the years (along with 100pacer).   

    If you ever go granular and sell signed items by themselves I’m definitely interested

    Wow, surely this collection is second only to what the band themselves might have archived at their HQ!?! 😳 In fact I wonder if they might want to pick up a whole chuck of their history in one go? 😉

    As a complete novice to trading etc, I ventured into swapping an item with Paul in the recent past. He was a true gentleman the whole way, & made me confident that, if the opportunity arose again, the forum was the place to go to do such business. 

    Paul, the items you got to me are truly cherished, & I use them regularly every week 👍🏻 Best of luck with getting your collection to new homes. I’m sure it’ll bring just as much happiness to others, as you’ve had building it.

    Paul - Thanks for the help in the past.  I wish you the best with your sale (only after my wife vetoed the idea I had about purchasing your collection).  If, for some strange reason, you have a 1998 Virginia Beach setlist, please keep me in mind.
    Cheers! - Jay

    Agreed. Thanks so much from Australia over the years Paul. Your wisdom has helped me get my setlist collection to where it is currently. Cheers-Alex

    Wow, seriously, you should check with the band first, I bet they don't have a collection like that.
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    You guys have been way way too kind to me in this thread. Really appreciate everything said. I'll not be going anywhere and will always be here to bounce off or offer advice if ever needed. I've made so many friend for life through this journey and that is the thing I will always be grateful for

    Paul is one of the main reasons I wanted a FREAK promo.

    I really wish more people would check out his stuff and look at some things you might not see again!
