Hardcore collectors: My Top 5 Most Wanted SP Items

[OlDaisy]

Just a funny idea. Why not post our top 5 most wanted Smashing Pumpkins items here, and let each other know how it goes collecting them. Or help each other finding it, for a good price. Post it all here!

OK, this is my top 5.

[manillascissor]

Hey I have 3 of those!

[Arthur]

I know! Be proud of them, because I’m jealous, and want them badly too! Someday…

[manillascissor]

1. Mellon Collie FR promo
2. En Concierto en Mexico promo
3. Random vinyl test presses
4. South Africa Siamese Dream CD
5. Machina II vinyl

[Arthur]

Funny, that both our #5 are those \"impossible to grab\" items, Derek…

[Cool As Ice Cream]

[manillascissor]

I just grabbed my #6 item, it would/should have been on #5 since I know that the original Mashed Potatoes is an impossible-to-find collectors item:

[Raskolnikov]

I’m searching far and wide currently for the Arising! spaceman poster… if anybody has one of those puppies that perhaps they’ve lost interest in – or is sitting in a drawer somewhere – I would love to display that proudly.

Just registered over here today, but don’t let my low post count fool ya into thinking I’m a flake.

[Arthur]

5. Songs for a Sailor Golden Obelisk version[/quote:g7f993zs]
Why, what is so special about that? Just curious… Since I have nooooo interest in that item at all.

[Cool As Ice Cream]

only 99 copies exist.
and it comes with the gold obelisk and the alternate version of the vinyl track.
dunno.

[alladnzane]

tHAnK yOU CooL!!!
i just saw it once at eBay and it gone around 120 dollars; the seller did not shipped outside USA… F@&kiNG shame!
please, if you ever see this pretty box… tell me.

[Cool As Ice Cream]

i’ve also seen that one. it didn’t go for $120 but for $300.

[Cool As Ice Cream]

if you really want something, you should consider contacting the seller. a lot of times they don’t mind shipping elsewhere.

[alladnzane]

tried, buT nO anSwer…
next time, next box will be surely mine!!! my TEARGARDEN collection miss this one only!!!

They had that in ZA but not NZ?

[manillascissor]

no CDs in NZ until post-2000

[manillascissor]

that i know of, besides compilations…

[marigold]

I would have thought South Africa would be about the same….but anyway…

[marigold]

I’ve ticked off 1 item on my list – has anyone else managed to find their most wanted?

[manillascissor]

well…what are you waiting for? Do you have anything in particular you really really want?

[Cool As Ice Cream]

i really want that gold gish promo cd. so that would definitely be on the list.

i’d also like a numbered light into dark cd. i guess these aren’t even that rare or sought after.

other things on my list right now are just basic collection filler: some of the recent promos and releases. i haven’t been keeping up too well. i guess these ones just aren’t as exciting. comparable to going to the shop and buying some (fairly expensive) milk. i’ve also been put off a bit by the recent fake promos.

[OlDaisy]

I managed to rid SP from my Blood (collecting-wise), but I still have moments of ‘Wantage’ over the years.

I’d be forever content with the Gish Gold CD and James Iha’s Never Ever Promo CD. I’ve had chances with the Goldies; although missed out on the Jamesies when opportunity called.
