  1. I have a VIP ticket w/ meet and greet(which gives you a sure shot at picking up the tour press) for their Orlando show and I will no longer be able to attend. I called Merchline and they can't refund my ticket but they can change the name on the tickets to whoever I would like.

     

    That being said, I'm looking at selling it for exactly what I paid for it. You will be able to pick up your laminate and goodies at the door minus the T-shirt.

     

    PM me if you would be interested.

  2. Not completely vinyl related but since this is where everyone is talking about the tour I figure I have the best chance at posting here.

    Right!? Again, Thank You, I was starting to lose hope!

    Only thing I need to complete mine now is the orange PYK/Perfect, but I know that one is gonna be a lifetime

    search LOL!

  4. WOW! Thank you all for the input!

     

    I guess the best way to sum it up, after reading all of your replies is, that it does feel like it is a chore and a major time/financial burden to keep up with.

     

    When the 3rd round of represses comes out and I have to shell out $100 bucks just to make sure my collection for one band stays "complete" I'm just mad and feel compelled to do it for no other reason than to say "I STILL have every pressing" Now multiply that by about 20 bands on round 4 and 5 of represses, and I'm eating Ramen and ice cubes every month. LOL!

     

    I had a house fire almost 3 years ago and thought I was going to lose most of my collection due to smoke. Luckily they were in an enclosed cabinet and were saved from the smoke damage that nearly everything else I owned incurred.

     

    Now that my collection has tripled in size, I still keep them in an enclosed cabinet. But I have to agree with Flood, if I were to lose the collection, I would NEVER get the value from Insurance that I paid for it, and to build it back up, would cost me double( IF I could find the all pieces.) That being said, if they did all get ruined, that would cause me to quit the game completely.

     

    Again, thank you all for the feedback. I think it is time for this completionist to scale back in a major way on the "every pressing ever" mentality.

  5. Hi All,

     

    Just looking for a bit of advice from some people who have decided to no longer go the completionist route with their collections.

     

    I started slowly collecting about 8 years ago and it has expanded into collecting multiple bands/artists and completing 95% to 100% of the variants for each one.

     

    Keeping up with all the bands and all the re-pressings happening has just become a major time sync and HUGE money pit at some points.

     

    Wondering if you have been a variant collector, what was the moment or catalyst you had to move you from being meticulous about a band's variant runs to "I am happy with just one or two pressings".

     

    Looking forward to the feedback!

     

    Thanks Everyone!
