Justin Case Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Here's the thing...as of now, it's got 27 bids which means it didn't start there. No idea what the starting bid was, but someone out there really, really wants this pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WIDE-ANGLE WATCHER Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 30 years from now those items could draw a lot of money from a vintage rock & roll memorabilia collector... If you have the money, probably a sound investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) I would be concerned about that setlist's authenticity; in particular when paying that type of money. True, but on the setlist you'll notice after some of the song titles, it tells the type of pyro they're using for it. While someone could easily just type it out and print it like that, it is a good indication that this paper was used up on stage or at the soundboard.

Fordgalaxy Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I would be concerned about that setlist's authenticity; in particular when paying that type of money. Why would they put some of the effects on a setlist? None of the players on stage will be close enough to have an issue with it (Neil is the closest and he only sometimes even bends over). It's up to $575 and growing. Someone is going to get suckered. Plus, there would probably be tears or maybe tape marks when they removed it from whatever it was supposedly taped to. I think it's bogus and without someone to authenticate it, or the pick, it's a huge waste of money. But when you're dealing with fan boys (or girls), this is what happens.

But when you're dealing with fan boys (or girls), this is what happens.The font looks official, but it's definitely NOT a setlist that was used during a show by the sound or light crew. If it was, there would be asterisks in front of the songs where Geddy talks to the crowd. That's not to say that it wasn't used somewhere else during the production, but it didn't come from front of house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordgalaxy Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I sent the guy a question asking if he could authenticate this pick and setlist and the reply was, "I could send you a picture of the backstage area and Alex's guitars as well as a picture of my backstage pass, a backstage pass sheet, and day sheet. But this is the setlist from the show that was used by crew for the show. If he actually has a backstage pass, who did he blow to get it and would Alex care that he was selling a pick he got from him or a roadie? Technically, it's now his pick and he can do with it what he pleases, but, and again if this is genuine, it seems a little tacky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it wouldn't prove anything.. Sound fishy? If he could send all these pics then why didn't he? If I had someone inquiring about my 570 dollar pick I think Id be motivated to hit 'send' on any pics I do have.. That list of imaginary pictures is a long one because it's only to try and convince you..! Besides, FOLlights already disproved the setlist ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 What guarantee does anyone have that the picks even belong to them? I say just buy yourself a pair of Official Neil Peart Drumsticks for $25 clams and be happy with that. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
