One of my favorite bands over the last four years has been The Bronx, from here in LA. In general, I usually collect the vinyl of my favorite bands. But The Bronx are one of those bands who have their finger on the pulse of the vinyl collecting-nerd populous. Kids will pay a shit load of money for their "rare" records. But today, my stars-in-the-sky aligned.
The Bronx released 3 x 7" series entitled "The Social Club" with-in the last year. They are limited to 250 pressings each, and hand silk screened by the band. That basically = $$$ for Bronx collectors.
I have seen these 7" go for over $100 APIECE! (check Popsike.com if you don't believe me) I managed to win all 3 at once, in mint condition, for $22. (!!!) needless to say.. i am stoked out of my fucking mind. This is one of The Bronx collectors items I figured would be waaay to rich for my blood, especially with the wedding, and everything else coming up.
While we are on the topic of The Bronx.. I managed to also get their "Bats" limited edition picture disk recently, for dirt cheap. The last one i saw on eBay, went for $54... I bought this one of some guy in a BIN (buy it now) auction for $10.. wtf?
merry xmas to myself?
