What is in your collection?

[OzAurora]

I thought of this after reading through the what are you ashamed of thread and thought it would be interesting to see what all of you have in the way of U2 stuff. If someone has every bootleg, single and album, this dosnt make them a bigger fan or whatever, I just find it interesting to see what everyone has...but here is the catch, other than bootlegs, only post legit version of things, not burnt or taped things... I want to see what you have spent hard earned cash on, here is my collection...

[Blue Room]

Hmm, whats up with the collectible threads??

It is amazing though how much you can accumulate being a fan for 19 years

I just think of all the money I spent in the "old days" of purchasing CD and vinyl boots at record show/fairs in the late 80's and early 90's. Man, looking back, those things were so overpriced. Thank goodness for CDR trading!

A vintage 80's Unforgettable Fire tour shirt that Edge wore (Not his, but one like it.)

Oh and I got Vertigo from ITunes for 99 cents!

 

[Reggie Thee Dog]

I have everything and then some...too much stuff to list or even remember. I have news clippings to go along with the CDs, cassettes, VHS, DVDs, magazine, books and programs. I have collectors cards and all kinds of Krazy Krap!! I love U2, no doubt.

 

[Roland of Gilead]

I'm not going to list everything. I will just say this - I have yet to meet a fan of any band/person(music related)/ type of music/etc... with any amount of a collection that can even equal mine. That being said, there are U2 fans here that definetly have more than me.

In a can of mixed nuts, I would like to think that I am a cashew.

 

[Pop Artist]

List is so long, that I put it on a website...

My Collection

I still have to put lots of boots and miscellaneous memorabilia on there, as well as all my magazines but the rest of it is complete I think.

 

[Tania]

Lots of the stuff listed above. The helmet, vinyl singles in box and CD that Island records gave away in a competition. An Unforgettable Fire block mounted posted when they released the album (has been most of the way around Australia with me - don't ask). Just about every magazine that has them on it from 1984 to today. Ticket stubs to concerts and other bits and pieces. It all really adds up!!!
