I just got into record collecting, and I'm a college student so I don't have a whole lotta income to spend on records at the moment. Monetarily speaking, my most prized record is the Gorilla Biscuits reunion tour 7" out of 1000. The big deal was that the band only sold around 20 or 30 on each stop of the tour, and rumor has it that the merch was judgmental about who he sold the record to. Numerically speaking, it's either my This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb "Front Seat Solidarity" purple 12" out of 40, or my Hollywood "We're Starving Artists" record release 7" that hand numbered # 39/40. Personally, It's probably the Q and Not U 'X-Polynation' 7" I have. It's not rare, but it's the first record I ever bought. I bought it 2 years ago with saved up lunch money. I was so happy, I played it over and over again whenever my parents weren't home (I didn't have my own record player at the time). Same goes for my The Pink Spider "...Are Taking Over!" 12". They're from my hometown, so I just found this in a local indie store. It was the first full album I ever bought on vinyl. I've played the shit out of that record. I only recently noticed that it's hand numbered out of 500... DO'H! I've kind of gotten suckered into Fucked Up's rare record gimmick. I fucking love the band, but collecting their shit is expensive!
