gregor Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I've got a few tests. I enjoy them, but I don't feel they're necessary for "complete collections."I have: The Gaslight Anthem - Tumblin' Dice 7" /? Fake Problems - Real Ghosts Caught On Tape /? Fake Problems - Soulless 7" /? Under The Influence Vol. 1 - Fake Problems/Look Mexico 7" /10 Under The Influence Vol. 15 - Cheap Girls/Noise By Numbers 7" on yellow /20 Andrew W.K./Riverboat Gamblers split 7" /? Further Seems Forever - How To Start A Fire - black vinyl, #3/10(/13 total, 10 black and 3 grey) The Hold Steady - Milk Crate Mosh 7" 8/10 (also, one of the 10 rejected tests were thrown in) New Found Glory - Tip of the Iceberg - picture disc test press, 8/25 Taking Back Sunday - Tell All Your Friends - /? Thursday - Full Collapse - black /7? Tim Barry - 28th and Stonewall - grey marble, 8/25 Some cost a ton, others not so much. PRice points all depend on what you want. I've had fun getting what I've gotten, and when I started to sell off things, I had mentioned to my wife about letting go of one, and she even told me that when I go to buy stuff back when we have extra cash lying around, that i probably wouldn't get the test press for as much as I want to buy it for and I should probably hold onto it. If you ever decide to let go of that New Found Glory test, please keep me in mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundsliketom Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I found a copy of Vae Victis 'ugly reflection' test press for $1.99 a week ago. I couldn't fucking believe it. Not too many people are familiar with this but it made my month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collections that I'm close to never* going to break up are Gaslight Anthem, New Found Glory, Fake Problems, Jimmy Eat World, The Hold Steady and any signed stuff and tests. The NFG Test press, in addition to having those two strikes on it already, is fully signed. So with that said, there are still 24 left for you to get your hands on. Sorry! *I could say never, but if I'm in such financial trouble that family won't even help, then I'll have no choice, will I?

That's a pretty good way to look at it, I see my tests the same way, they will be there if i'm ever in a financially tight spot! Couldn't imagine letting go of any right now though..
