Not sure where to posts requests like this, so please direct me and I'll post elsewhere if needed.

I've been sorting through yet more boxes of PJ stuff, and I've finally found all (most?) of my fan club newsletters. I'm wondering if there is a list and/or pictures of each newsletter from the start. I believe I have everyone of the mailings from the first post card sent out to Mother Love Bone fan club members through the latest mailings this year (2013). I'd like to put them all in order and confirm though, in case I have another box to go through.

For a few years I have multiple mailings and fan club singles as I had everyone in my family signed up. :)

Anyone know of this sort of thing out there on the web? I haven't checked with John / Jessica at TwoFeetThick, as I just thought of it now. I'll ask Jessica in Chicago at the Wrigley show, it might make an interesting article if they haven't done this yet.

Thanks.

very happy to help you organise, I have all the newsletters in order - most are easy - the first 4-5 however are the tricky ones - so let me know which you want to determine

Thanks. Perhaps I'll get a chance tonight to start working on this. I found a shoebox yesterday stuffed full of Pearl Jam concert tickets, and older (pre '98) fan club mailings. I also found three setlists I had been looking for, which was a great bonus!

As soon as I can get time together to start putting this in order I'll see what I'm having issues with, thanks!

I had a chance today to go through what I've unearthed so far. It's amazing the number of hand written letters I have from early traders, back in the days of the GoS e-mail list and prior to any real fan websites. I've spent a lot of time reading through those today.

So, I have another box to find somewhere, because I have found the following:

#4, #6, #7, #8 to #10 (multiples), #11 (ambulance never punched out), #12, #14-#17, #19,
what I believe to be #20 (shrink wrapped still, shows calendar on one side and Contest #20 on back),
#23, #24, Deep 2006-2012

Paul is the one I show shrink wrapped #20? Am I missing anything between #24 and the start of the Deep series in 2006?

#6 is my first newsletter. I signed up prior to #5 going out, but didn't get that one, but a friend of mine did (we signed up at the same time).

I know I've purchased #1 - #5 previously (back in the late 90s), now I just need to find them all. Next is checking on the Xmas singles... I have many multiples of those too.

very confident 24 was the last 'newsletter'

just need to check no 20 for you.....my memory is terrible but there was a calender but i recall it was no 22 - im probably wrong

there was also the bootleg companion from 2003 that was a newsletter - you probably have that too

Thanks. Not sure I've found 21 then. I'll have to look through some more boxes.
