bootlegs of 2003

[do.the.evolution]

Why the Hell are the boots of 2003 so fuckin' rare on ebay?
Are there so many less than them of 2000???

Everything you see is Perth, Tokio, Tokio, Perth, Perth, Tokio, Tokio, Perth...
And if there are others they are so damn expensive!

Can anybody explain why???

[darthvedder]

Only a few of the 2003 bootlegs were released to retail stores...including Perth and Tokyo.

The rest were only available on the PJ website.

Contrast that to the 2000 bootlegs, which all were released to retail stores.

The 2003 boots were also only available for a limited time after the shows unlike the 2000 boots - it was only weeks. So far few less were produced.

Worth noting however that last week a set went on ebay for less than $1000 - thats only $12 each and less than cost. Buy them seperately and they are hidesously expensive, especially the mexican ones which are widely regarded as the rarest - and some say the best!!

Always make sure you get the stickers too, many are now lost

[do.the.evolution]

many thanks for answering, that explains pretty much. I wasn' aware of that.
Okay, now I know that I definitely began too late with collecting,
but, that keeps the whole thing even more tensious...

Was there a sticker with every cd?

[pdalowsky]

yeah a back sticker and a spine sticker with every one, you had to peel and apply....but they are worth more not applied

[do.the.evolution]

strange, never have seen one, although I got some so far,
Do you mean something like the dissident 3 cd release from UK, where you had to put the stickers on yourself?
or does this mean that they are not original if the setlists are printed on the cardboard directly?

The 3rd disc of the New York concert from July, 8th says it would be 3rd of Mansfield, July 11th.

Alas, that's not true, it plays the NY show.
Do you know if this is the case in all NY concerts?

yes the stickers are just like those, but the retail versions i.e. tokyo/perth etc are printed on the cardboard....only the ones sold via tenclub had the stickers, and that included perth and tokyo etc

i wasnt aware of the error on the NY Cd will check mine

[do.the.evolution]

okay, there's much I have to learn...
Thanks for your patience

[pdalowsky]

No worries, good luck in your search

post the ones you are looking for and if I see them i will let you know

[do.the.evolution]

is it true that there is no show #53???

[do.the.evolution]

HI Paul,
here is my wanting list:

#1 no
#2 no
#3 no
#4 no
#5 no...

yipeeehyahyeh

got them ALL this night,
it was a very long night.
Auction ended on 4.20am,
and after that we opened a bottle of champagne,
now I have to work 8 hours,
will be a long day, too,
but a very happy one

but finally we did it, got the whole damn set!

this will do it for me, for now,
maybe I have to exchange some that are not 10c releases,
but I don't know
first let them come,
Wow, I'm so excited!


Collecting is a really thrilling and overwhelming hobby
I think I am infected at last...
don' t wanna know where this will lead to...

Many thanks again , Paul, for answering all my sometimes stupid questions

keep on rockin'

Esther

is it true that there is no show #53???

Yes I think this show was cancelled because of a bad wheather I think.

Congrats on winning the whole set!

[Lost Dog]

congrats Esther!

[do.the.evolution]

many thanks for your congratulations...

does anybody, apart from me, has this error on the new york concert from july, 8th?

[rob]

Yes, my retail release of that NY show has the wrong date, too.. I think many copies had this misprint.

This thread shows that there are a lot of PJ boots addicted, just like me
I bought the entire 2003 set, buying them from many sellers on ebay.. I scored some ones for a cheap price, but other not very cheap.. The Mexico #73 last of the series, costed me more than $100
Of course I have all the 2000 and 2008 ones too.. and I'm obviously sure that there are others people like me, here, that are awaiting for that 2009 bootlegs box set that Ten Club spoke about..
About the stickers, be aware that the Aus/Jap ones didn't have the setlist stickers, only the spine sticker
