I Bought A $1200 Vinyl Record... | RAREST FIND EVER - STORYTIME
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 авг 2024
- I recently had a right place/right time moment and was able to secure my holiest of grails vinyl record. This record is so rare that I never truly thought I'd own it unless a repress miraculously happened down the road (which is unlikely). Let me tell you the story of what I got, why it was such a good deal, and the INSANE way that I ended up procuring it.

Amazing that it’s signed but It’s honestly just as crazy that it’s #3 of 2000. That means it was probably Matt’s personal copy, usually the first handful go straight to the band. Mind blowing man.
I just realized that next to the number it says PMC. Promo Matt Cameron? :O
Too Many Records I’ll call Eddie and ask if his says PEV 🤣
Noble Records
Haha! Nice...
That's an astute point.
$1200 is money well spent if something in your hobby brings you that much joy.
I agree, friend!
I couldn’t agree more! I’ve increased my collection by so much over the past few months and I get judgement for it all of the time! But the hobby is a great one to have!
It shouldn't be so expensive, but on the other side, buying and owning an expensive and rare record, can make you happy :-)
Insane. Pearljam's not even a great band.
It's honestly a historical artifact.
You bought a $4000 dollar record for 1200 bucks. Well done. The signatures are 100% legit.
The story and where it came from makes it that much more AWESOME! Congrats!
Thank you Frank!!
Not even a Pearl Jam fan but this makes me happy for you as someone who collects vinyl. May we all find our grails!
What's your holiest grail?
Right now The Flaming Lips - Peace and Paranoia Tour 2013 EP (which I just found out about). They did two Tame Impala covers and Tame Impala did two Flaming Lips covers...or the Currents boxset which only sold in Europe and has a 7” of B-sides.
I am soooooo jealous! Good for you! This and Lost Dogs are my ultimate grails. I have been a member of the Ten Club for over 20 years, and I love when a true fan gets a piece like this.
I am glad to say I now have all the PJ vinyl I need. The only "nice to have" now would be the GITD PJ 20.
I have been through the same trauma with record orders and the USPS recently. They have come through every time. They could be more efficient and cost effective but that's no excuse to run them out of business. Tell me of ANY other government agency that MAKES money? Protect OUR Post Office! Make it better.....don't destroy it. Post rant I will say value is whatever you value ANYTHING at. Very much like the subjectivity of art itself. Want and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
I say disband the usps. They are trash, the government throwing more money at something has never worked. I'd rather pay more to use fedex or ups, while they are not perfect they are leagues better than garbage usps.
@@SilentCheechGaming1991 A single, narrow minded view that fails to take in to consideration others who would no longer be able to afford the service. No mention by you of the drag on the USPS to fund their retirement beyond what anyone else does....private or public. Why do you give politicians a free pass from doing their jobs? We need our government to work and OUR employees in it to do their jobs. Like the private sector, if they can't they need to be replaced with someone who can. You are buying politicians telling you something can't be done that has been done practically since the inception of our country and is the only business that is in the Constitution. If a politician says we can't do something we've been doing for over 200 years than it is he/she that I question if they are up to the job.....not passing the buck.
Congrats Matt! Awesome story and no hate from me on how much you spent! I applaud you on such an crazy find.
I think you did the right thing. Some collectors fail to remember that some of these things that we have found, while high in value, can still be obtained. When you have a chance at a once in a lifetime grail, you have to jump on it (figuratively, of course) if you ever plan on owning it. Nice score and glad it all worked out for you.
Congrats! I have a hard time spending $100 on a record, let alone $1200. If it brings you that much enjoyment, then it was worth it.
Congratulations! That’s awesome that it turned out in a good way! You got so lucky! USPS has been horrible with Media Mail these days. I sent an album to my Dad within the same state of Michigan (lower to Upper Pennisula). It went to PA, WI, stayed at transit at each of their distribution centers for over a week each, then finally back to MI, and then took another 6-7 days just to get to him. Luckily it wasn’t damaged.
My heart sank when I heard you said that you sold «Rearview Mirror»! As a Pearl Jam fan who tends to get to the «vinyl» party quite late and would LOVE that copy I shouted out «no!» Ha ha. Well, I then see what you wanted to buy and all I can say is... «yeah, I guess I’d give up one of my kids for that one too...» Have now seen this video 3 times!
LOL @ Kids comment hahaha
Wow! So happy for you! And your video story was, as always, perfectly paced and exciting to hear. Congrats man! 👍
Getting an album that rare is once in a lifetime, so like totally justified. I’m sure anyone would do the same for their own passion if they had the disposable income. Great video and awesome find!
My initial thought was “I would never spend $1200 on a single record (even a box set)”, but you completely justified it for me.
That was my goal with this video!! Hahaha
Matt Cameron, “hmmmm, I think I want to listen to my copy of PJ at Benaroya Hall lp...RAY!!!!
LMAO
What a find!! Some 50’s records can go for tons of money. There are several 50’s records I want that are going for $3,000 to $8,000.
Wow. I wish that you could name a few. I’d love to know what they are.
A story always has more value than money. Yes it’ a great piece in your collection but the story of who you got it from and that interaction is what makes it more valuable than the price tag. Decades down the road the price fades in your mind but the story will stay.
EXACTLY.
I love that you’re so geeked about this. Live your best life!
As Detective Harry Callahan would say , " A Man's Got To Know His Limitations " ! 😆
Congrats on getting such a rare grail. The USPS Media Mail updates + No Insurance was certainly nerve-racking. Glad it all worked out!
That "Once In A Lifetime" Collectible Purchase is always an awesome, awesome thing...
You’re not an idiot! That is AWESOME!!!! Completely understand how you feel !
Dude, I've had priority mail packages sitting at "In transit. Arriving late" for longer than that recently. Glad this grail made it home safely. Cheers!
$1200 imo is such a small price to pay for something you’ve dreamed of getting for something that you can literally play whenever you want. Great find!!
I’ve had a lot of records “in transit”, and they’ve always eventually showed up.
Absolutely crazy score, dude and well worth it too. Totally a once in a lifetime opportunity. Congratulations, man. You’ll treasure it forever and even probably sleep more soundly knowing you’ve got it sitting up there at the top of your collection.
Good for you, man. That’s what collecting is all about. Don’t care about what people think. It’s actual worth is understood only by you. 🤘
Great find . Great story. Great come up. That album signed is easily worth $3000.
I’m hoping for a repress, not to devalue yours at all but because i would love to have this show on wax!! Congrats man! That’s def a grail to tell your grand kids about someday!
The thing that makes this so much fun is the thrill of the hunt. I'm SO happy you you! Congratulations!
Amazing story and product. I know how much this record meant to you and I can see just how happy finally securing it has made you. Absolutely well done, Matt!
Thank you Ryan (look for a little shoutout in wednesday's video btw)
1200$ for a record(s) could be seen as unreasonable. What you purchased is memorabilia, that can be used and enjoyed... unlike i.e. a signed baseball or basketball. Good job! Im glad it makes you happy!
This is really interesting ,but I'm curious about how much you paid for your Drukqs box set.
Roughly $150, I got super lucky.
@@TooManyRecords Wow that is actually amazing!
Damn, that’s my super grail!
@@TooManyRecords I wrote the press release blurb for that, back then, and got a few promo copies (some still sealed sitting in my doubles closet ^^). They used to be hundreds of those floating around for less than 30$ for years, because since the packaging was so impracticle, lots of shops didn't know how to store it without damaging it, or didn't even ordered it. It also didnt get great reviews back then...
U alright in the thumbnail? Lookin a bit... squished...
Jokes aside awesome video :)
Never claimed I was an artist :P
Great purchase!!! If I was you I’d keep in touch with him.. maybe he got some other gems he’ll want to get rid of in the future, and you could become his “personal buyer”
THIS
Dude what a killer awesome story! This is amazing! I'm beyond happy for you and hope you get many years of listening experiences with the album! Well worth the money!
Thank you Mike!!
Score of a lifetime. I was in the 10 Club from 1998-2010, and big poster on Red Mosquito forum back in the day, and remember that coming up for sale. For whatever reason I didn’t buy (sold out before I could I think) and of course have been kicking myself ever since. There is a silver lining to this story however, because in 2003 I went to the 3 Boston shows, scoring front row seats (4) for 07/11/2003, which to this day is still the longest Pearl Jam concert they have ever performed. Congrats on getting your grail, I am genuinely psyched to see another PJ diehard score such a mythical copy of that amazing set.
DUDE! You got the Man trilogy!! I'm so envious. What an amazing setlist. I was at the Seattle Home Shows in 2018 and I had pit tickets for the 2nd show. I was like, 6 rows deep and that was a 3.5 hour long show and it was one of the top experiences of my life.
Too Many Records very cool. The 2003 trifecta was unforgettable, and I would love to see that released as a vinyl box set. Ive been a fan from the start and I went to 15 shows between 1998-2010, all East Coast, mostly Boston/Mansfield, but also Hartford and New Jersey, big poster collector, 10 Club, Stickman tattoo, the whole nine. Started having kids and needed to explore other music so I took a big break. Well, after being seriously disenfranchised with Backspacer and Lightning Bolt I was blown away by Gigaton this year, and it relit the PJ spark in a big way. Needless to say I can’t wait to go see them live again.
A modified quote from the “Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers” “vinyl will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no vinyl”. Cheers on your purchase!
Congratulations! Great to see such a special piece in the hands of a true PJ fan. Enjoy
Holy crap. This is so incredible. I’m so jealous. Haha.
Watching this from the link in your ‘best live albums’ vid.
Thank you for playing it and not letting it sit in a box. This is also my grail
Records are MEANT to be played... even the $1200 ones.
@@TooManyRecords I also remember when this was 500$ and I was always like I'll get it next year.
That is dope af. Damn. Score
My butt puckered when you said, "media mail, no insurance." How was yours Matt?
My stress level was through the roof for days.
when you hear the ol' balloon knot squeek
And to think I paid priority for a $200.00 copy of kind of blue. Felt your pain for a moment when I heard media mail.
great video matt! congratulations!
I’d say it was definitely worth it considering you used records to buy another record, which is a huge part of what the hobby is all about anyway. (Besides the music part lol)
not gonna lie, thought this would be some obscure Japanese limited edition Vaporwave Vs. Sufjan live test pressing... this is legit. Listened to it today, what a great show! 🙌🏻
Nice buy mate. Congrats
3/2000, that’s crazy. Super jealous
I am so happy for you! It’s fantastic getting something so amazing! Good on ya!😉👍🏻🌻🌻🌻🌻
Jesus Christ Matt! I don't know much about Pearl Jam rarities, but your story really emphasized the important of being able to snag this record and for the absolutely insane deal you got for it! This is a textbook "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity. Really happy for you!
Thank you Fredi!!!
You’re Discogs account must say your collection is worth millions. That’s crazyyyyy to get a record that cool. Congrats
WOW!!! I feel your joy. I'm so happy for you, congratz 😎🤘👍
That was lovely ^_^ thanks for sharing
Nice score! No regrets. You got something extremely rare from one of you favorite bands. Very nice.
I love your excitement and the torture over the waiting period,so relatable! So much so that I am tempted to make your record as my Holy Grail, too... hahaha. But I think it would be great to find out more about people's "grails" and reasoning etc. What is my Holy Grail, actually?? Rumour has it, there is David Sylvian Weatherbox on vinyl somewhere (and Discogs suddenly becomes unreliable, as I also discovered with other artists and vinyl editions, e.g. Nina Simone remixes). Cheers from Oz
I own over 2000 record albums, most I ever paid was $45 for a record, most that I own probably average under $10. But I love that you purchased your dream record and that’s what vinyl is about, the love of music, peace & love
Awesome! Happy for you buddy, it's a great feeling. I spent a meager $120 on GG Allin's first album...only to find out it goes for like $1,500 normally!! That's my Rarest Find Ever for sure.
Dang that's a come up.
Matt is probably asking "Son wheres my record?" I dont know dad but im going to best buy and get a new TV "...lol great buy.
Love hearing stories of cool finds from other collectors
Awesome video and story. 🙏🖖
Amazing find! One of the few that I was never able to get my paw on. I am actually in the beginning stages of downsizing some of my collection. I'm reluctantly going to be selling my signed vinyl of Riot Act which is so very cool but still not as cool as this one you have got my friend! Just amazing!
From a guy who spent 1800 on a skateboard deck ... great job! You do you, dude!
Absolutely great for you love your enthusiasm!!
Congrats Matt. What a great feeling. I felt similarly when I finally acquired my grail...Walter Mitty soundtrack on vinyl; but this takes it to another level!
I still need to get Walter Mitty! I passed up a copy for $50 in like 2016 :(
Congrats!!! 🍾🎊🎉🎈.
Congrats my man!
Dude! That's so freaking awesome! Sick find and awesome story!
Wow 1200 dollars is a lot of money but if it brings you happiness, good for you! I remember paying 150 dollars for the Halo Combat Evolved vinyl and all my friends called me crazy I know, it's not 1200 dollars, but man for the importance of the record to me makes it my holy grail. Great video, super happy for you
Congrats, I'm happy for you
Nothing better than securing your holy grail
Holy crap man, thats insane! Congratulations!
I honestly don’t know if I’ve ever been more jealous of anything in my life.
Fantastic!!! What a find!! I think you deserve it for the great videos that you do. Keep them coming and I hope you find more great like this one.
You just had a priceless experience for $1200. One that will last you the rest of your lifetime. You must be over the moon. No, over Jupiter 😎. Congrats man. I'm so happy for you.
Congrats man what a find!
LOL! I think all of us have a sinking feeling in the pit of our stomach when you said “in transit arriving late.”
the four worst words a record collector could hear
A great story. You are not an idiot, you are a record collector
Always love hearing these kind of stories, congrats!!!
I had the cursed "In Transit" on a colored pressing of Crack the Skye not long ago ( not nearly as incredible as this PJ find, which again, holy shit.) but it never gets any less stressful to see, so thankfully LABH didn't actually get lost, that thing's a piece of PJ history!
Congratulations! I could have bought that back in 2003. It was sitting in the cart but my credit card was maxed out. I asked my sister if I could use hers but as a typical teenager she said no. Was it offered to overseas buyers? I may have snapped it up for $1600 AUD. Definitely worth it on your end!
Best purchase you've ever made.
Definitely up there.
Awesome find and story! Thank you 🙏🏽
Congratulations on your purchase and so happy for you. I know what it’s like to purchase a piece of music memorabilia and believe you me, there is nothing like waiting for that special purchase in the mail. I had purchased a Bob Crewe signed picture from an individual who met him at a radio station back in 1955. I made an offer and they accepted and could not wait to receive it while taking a while through the postal service. It finally arrived and I cherish that picture and I’m sure not to many of you young folks may know who Bob Crewe is but it means so much to me. Congratulations on your purchase and I’m sure worth every dollar invested.
A whole lot of amazing things have been circulating in the past few months. I've also noticed that the high dollar insured packages are usually the ones that go missing...
The one that has got to "take the cake" was a 7" 45 (Frank Wilson's "Do I Love You", on Berry Gordy's Soul label, demo only) that recently sold to UK multi millionaire Lee Jeffries for £100,000.
Great story & result!
Thank you!
Very cool. I just found out a sinatra record I bought 6 months ago for $15 Is worth $1000. Crazy, was the first record I bought too haha
What was the album
@@gerry4805 Australian pressing of Frank Sinatra sings the select Harold Arlen.... rarest Sinatra record of all time, about 25 ever released I believe. Some interesting info about it on the Sinatra Family forums.
I've been collecting records since 1966 and have been through all kinds of ups and downs.Take my advice. If somebody offers you a crazy amount of money for it, TAKE THE MONEY! I have many (once) valuable gems that lost their value later when the artist lost their appeal, or when the manufacturer reissued them with better quality and at a very low price. You can't know what the future will be. "A bird in the hand. . . . ."
Yess!!! So happy to see this video. Glad you have your grail now🤘🏻
Thanks for sharing Matt... personally I would have really gone OTT on the shipping bit especially with there being no insurance or tracking for the item and USPS being a bit of a mess right now... can't beat a bit of suspense! But all is well that ends well and it certainly ended well for you!
My heart was skipping beats listening to your story unfold. Absolutely incredible!! Huge congrats!!
Thank you Anna!!!
Your not an idiot for buying it. It's a good investment but most of all, if it makes you happy then its worth every penny.
Nice!!! Matt Cameron is an amazing drummer!
One of the best to ever do it. PJ AND SG?!
Worth. Every. Cent.
I am (sort of) jealous!
That’s wicked cool Bro
Congratulations. Great score
$1200 is a lot of money... but keeping rarities, doubles & other grails to sell later helps pay for the pricier gems
Awesome video!!
Congrats Matt! Persistence pays off
Im not a huge PJ fan but this was a solid purchase. It sounds like a lot but getting such good signatures from the whole band is rare enough but the release itself is rare too. Even if down the road they re release yours will still be the copy to have.
Congratulations and enjoy!
