Your U2 Collectibles

Yeah I thought so too. The guy went into the back room and grabbed it, so it wasn’t even on display. Very happy with getting this.

The plastic has a tear on it, but it is almost 40 years old.

If that's all that's wrong with it, you got a steal.

Did you get the sellers card? Do they travel around? They're obviously some honest folk...

I have reached the time in my life when I think I can handle parting with a large portion of the collection I started back in 1982 and stopped a few years ago. The fact that I kept saying, "I didn't know I had this," is an indication that there are a lot of things I won't miss!

There will be some items that I end up realizing I have too much of an attachment to and can't let go of. So far, there is only one item that has a definite "never for sale" note on, which is the four autographs I got after my first U2 concert in 1983, where I got pulled up on stage to dance with Bono! (I was 19, and excitedly recounting the experience took up 11 pages in my diary. )

Because there's so much I don't have time to look up the values on everything but the Discogs site gives a good range and a lot of you probably know more than I do anyway. Aaron Sams has also given me an indication of what some items are worth. I still haven't had a chance to take photos of all the posters, postcards and buttons but I can always send those later. Also, I live in Oregon so if you're in the geographical area you can look at stuff in person, too. Here's a link to the document, which is divided into spreadsheets for each type of media. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13Q4tljCh3xD-SFaQbg9CWSCq2eTguaGVmzHz4Fdb4G0/edit?usp=sharing
