Not to get all braggy about all the albums, CDs, DVDs, Tourbooks, Tour Shirts, Ticket stubs, Books, Posters, Magazines, nick-nacks etc. - but rather to just share something that you might find interesting - my most prized Rush collectibles:

And a little story for this last one: Neil Peart's Drumsticks. In March 1994, I made a last minute decision to go to a Rush concert solo in St. Pete, FL. After the show, I met Larry Allen (Neil's drum tech) and asked him if he could snag a pair of sticks for me. After some persuasion ("I knew your name, man!") he walked up to Neil's kit and took these sticks right off it - sticks that were just used to play YYZ. One stick is even cracked! I walked out of the Thunderdome in disbelief, clutching these sticks...

I thought long and hard about that Tourbook collection.

 

If I didn't have everything except the 2112 program already, I might have taken the plunge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have you posted those before Chris? I remember seeing them somewhere. They remain spectacular.

The postcards are so cool! Neil writes about them in one of his books, but i have never seen one IRL. Did not realize they were so personalized, he put some real effort into them.

This is my favorite item. It includes the poster, commemorative tickets, VIP laminates and 11X14 picture of my 13 yr old daughter and myself in the front row (by Geddy's right knee), and a signed cd by all 3 members.

Here is a signed Time Machine program with some Time Machine Sticks that Neil sent out in a show in 2010.

Prior to those ones posted, Neil used to actually write out the entire card...if I had a scanner I'd post pictures of mine...

WE ARE! ;-)

You could take a picture with your cell phone or something- that would be really cool to see, even if hte image is not super great. Looks like you came close to not getting the one card- it has a change of address label on it-

What? No DVDs? Just kidding. Feel free to give more detail on your autographs and/or post a photo of them. Signed memorabilia seems more special to me since it was personally handled by whoever signed it. And having it signed to you specifically makes it unique and more sentimentally valuable. I'm so glad I took the time to send something to the tour last year.

 

Oh, and have a blast at the Mohegan sun show!

Yes, I was VERY lucky to get that first postcard forwarded to me at home after the semester had ended.... even luckier that the University mail room didn't put the address forwarding sticker over Neil's autograph!

 

:doh:

 

A whole bunch of these postcards (including some handwritten ones) appear on Andrew Olsen's site:

Im selling an item from my CD collection on Ebay. just time for someone else to have it as part of their collection.

 

http://cgi.ebay.com/...em=111034790061

 

Its a really cool CD that I received when working on college radio.

 

 

 

I have one of those. I think whoever bought it got a pretty good deal too. I think I paid about $20 when it began surfacing.

 

I use the station liners sometimes when I do mix CDs.

 

 

 

 

I was actually thinking of parting with my In The Mood/What You're Doing Canadian 45

 

It's not the Moon single obviously, but I think it's the first Canadian Mercury single.

Since that went over so well...

 

 

How about a US Stock Copy of "The Temples of Syrinx"/"Making Memories

 

Would I be correct in assuming it's a 45? You've gotta stop showing me these things. My wallet can't handle it.

Are these signatures legit?

 

http://www.ebay.ca/i...=item5d3d3c3a45

 

HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!

Not the worst I've seen. At least they tried to make them look real. Here's a real awful one listed as a reproduction. So it's a copy of a forgery. http://www.ebay.com/itm/RUSH-BAND-X3-PP-SIGNED-10-X8-PHOTO-GEDDY-LEE-REPRO-ALEX-LIFESON-N2-/290703025440?pt=UK_Music_Music_Memorabilia_LE&hash=item43af402520

They probably used an auto pen to copy legit signatures, but the text of the auction clearly states that those are "reprints" which means they are basically photocopies. The listing I posted has a Neil signature that isn't even close to right.

Yes it is. Sorry. I should have clarified that. Technically, I haven't shown you anything...yet.

 

Pics if you need 'em.
