fuck, i couldn't even take a guess......

clevohardcore - 10-17-2009 at 07:45 PM

I have no idea, but I'll guess $1,100 Mr. Barker

Vanilla Gorilla - 10-17-2009 at 07:49 PM

More than it should be

sippers - 10-17-2009 at 07:51 PM

i'd say around the neighborhood of $3,000

REV.PAULIE - 10-17-2009 at 08:13 PM

When I was a kid (obviously) I had sent my $3.50 to Dischord for the Out Of Step record...they had sold out of the 1st pressing,and Ian sent me a postcard asking if I wanted my money back,or if it was cool for them to just hold onto it and send me the next pressing...I told him to hold onto my money,and just send me the next pressing...Some time passed,and then one day in the mail I received my record along with this (as well as some record labels,that are long gone)...I thought it was pretty cool...signed by Ian and Jeff...I don't know if anyone elese got one,but mine's definitely NOT FOR SALE.

random - 10-17-2009 at 08:28 PM

i don't know if it's cooler that they sent the certificate or that you kept it, but both are pretty fucking awesome.

XHonusWagnerX - 10-17-2009 at 08:43 PM

That certificate is WAY cooler than the test press!

$3500 is my guess for the test press.

BDx13 - 10-17-2009 at 08:43 PM

I'm going with $2,601, Bob.

Oh, and that certificate is awesome.
I may be in the minority, but when it comes to "collecting" crap from our scene, i kinda prefer oddball items like this. Hell, I got a Misfits Walk Among Us trick or treat bag!

DaveMoral - 10-18-2009 at 11:34 AM

That certificate is pretty damned cool.

Spoiler - 10-18-2009 at 11:58 AM

That certificate should be in a frame paulie....that's really cool.I've never seen or heard of one of those.
I have a few certificate type frames at work....I could send you one if you want it.

My guess on that test press is $2,451

REV.PAULIE - 10-18-2009 at 12:07 PM

It's inside the record it came with...it's not like I'm going to hang it on my wall,like some sort of diploma!
"Congratulations! You were patient."

clevohardcore - 10-18-2009 at 01:04 PM

You know Paul, it is a virtue.

That is bad ass.

haha yeah,well I meant to protect it,not to hang it on the wall beside your family portrait. I didn't think about it being kept inside the record sleeve.

XnMeX - 10-18-2009 at 05:13 PM

$1.00 Bob... I just want to be the asshole that is trying to be "Closest without going over."

diploma? shit, hanging it on the wall is a sign of respect. not like the diplomas I've lost or have sitting in the envelope it was mailed in.

Vanilla Gorilla - 10-18-2009 at 05:23 PM

$1.01 Bob, just to be the other asshole who fucks the first asshole over.

"Respect" for what,though?

That I was a patient 14 year old? That Dischord doesn't forget the importance of mail-order? That,even after nearly 30 years,I still hold onto dopey HC records?

'Not trying to cause any trouble,here...but,it's not like I entertain very often in my apartment...I'm not going to frame it,hang it,and then adoringly stare at it thinking "Wow...I'm friggin' cool.".

My Fred Blassie picture disc already proves that.

REV.PAULIE - 10-18-2009 at 06:12 PM

Actually,I do have this little something special framed,in my apartment...Riley from Murderer's Row got it for me out of our mutual love for The Little Rascals...It's Tommy "Butch" Bond,who played the quintessential bully in many of the shorts with Spanky & Alfalfa...Riley tracked him down,before he passed away,and got him to personally autograph a picture for me...Riley fucking rules!!
