TOP 5 !

[Yuri]

I don't really have very special items, but these are my favorites:

1. US cd Live on two legs, signed by Mike, dedicated at my first name.
Also signed by Jeff's brother Barry Ament, and Coby Schultz.
I also got a signed Rockfords setlist from Mike.

2. Not very special, but the normal first European TEN cd.
This is special to me because it's the first Pearl Jam thing I ever bought!

3. Pearl Jam related: My green 7" Green River vinyl.
The very first Grunge vinyl ever released. lot's of history.

4. Early original concert flyer/poster from Mookie Blaylock

5. First Ten Club letter ever. I still remember how excited I was when I got mail from Seattle!

Want:

1. I want to complete my Cassette Singles collection.
So, all the cassette singles I don't have yet..

2. I still need all the 2000 boots. I only have 20 of them.
I never had the money to buy all of them when they came out through Tenclub.
(however, I have so many recordings of pearl jam shows.. I need about 50 shows, then I have the recordings of ALL the shows they ever played 1990-2008)

3. Freak

4. Live At Benaroya Hall 4 LP Set On Colored Vinyl

5. Black - Austria - SAMPCD 1578

[Megadave]

oh Yuri...there are 1000 different reasons to consider an item...something's special for a collector...and every itemof your collection seems to have a great story behind his reason...ten europe too!!!

still my respect for green river vinyls...they are so cool!!!
i saw come on down testpress.......wow!!!....i'm not a green river collector...i have just some items from their discography....but these vinyls are very,very.....bastard!!!!!
i tried to bid on testpress 2months ago....but.....what a price!!!!
but ebay copy had not this beautiful infosheet that i can see in your scan..
so this thing hits down his value....

5. Black - Austria - SAMPCD 1578

absolutely MY FAVOURITE ITEM...my favourite song...it reminds me..........................the most beautiful moment in my life...

[Yuri]

Thanks Dave.

Black is also my favorite song! That's why I would love to have some more money one day to buy that promo hehe.

Also, the Green River vinyls are cool indeed. Thanks for your kind words.
They cost me some money, but still not as much as I see them for sometimes these days!
I just found out there is another version of the Come on Down vinyl that I don't have haha.
I still need to take pictures of a few other Green River vinyls I have in my collection.
I hope to get the sleeve of the 7" signed one day by Mark Arm or Stone or Jeff..
Mudhoney should tour soon haha.

[pdalowsky]

Hey Yuri, you have an item signed to you by Mike, thats pretty special to me.....these things are not about money, they are like Dave says about the story and to have received the first ten club letter also is very very cool. I have managed to track down the early issues but it took some time especially to be sure they were original

In the meantime i must say i thought the black promo on ebay last week was gonna go for a bargain and then it went mental like normal

still live in hope I'll never forget missing one on ebay for 12 euros buy it now

also one of my very favourites, that song brings back so many wonderful memories for me, Given to fly just nicks it still though

at least that's today's list. might change tomorrow, i can never tell

because it's a different day there are new things dancing in my head, but i can't decide which items to bump, so i'll just add today's honroable mentions...

have:
working setlist from "someplace in europe 92 or 93 i think", written on a white wax paper bag (it once contained a cassette tape some chick threw on stage...there's an odd message about "i cannot get aroused" that's been whited-out on the other side of the setlist), which contains porch at least 5 times, crossed out once or twice, Oceans with the O drawn like a sun, plus rvm twice, garden, i got a feelin...

it's obvious it was a working list. it is written in black ball pen ink. a piece of the bag just big enough to contain the final version of the setlist has been torn away.



also have:

my two framed collages. too much to explain at the moment








honorable mention wants:

black promo single
brazilian jeremy promo single
alive promo single USA with front insert

Congrats Pala. I have watched the auction too and I was happy that I already have this record so we couldn't get in a battle.
