  1. I was on the @U2.com staff for over 15 years but am still organizing the annual U2 Fan Holiday Card Exchange at Christmas so some of you may know me from that. 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

    Is U22 really on vinyl or is it a CD?
  6. Figured as much as I don't recall it ever being pressed on vinyl, even as a bootleg, but it was listed under vinyl and not CDs

    Rashas - I might be interested in the odd item or two from your memorabilia list. I will PM you when I have a moment free!

    It is housed in an LP sized package which is why it may have been mistaken for an LP.
