What cards on your desk..what's on your iPOD and whatcha reading?

Most probably don't know (and many likely don't care) that one of Black Flag's founding members and original bassist is auctioning off his personal collection on eBay. Has included rare early un-issued test records, the original metal stamp used to make an BF album (like the printing press for cards) and more. He was also the co-owner of the indie label SST, so has scarce insider stuff from other bands like Husker Du, The Descendants and Sonic Youth ... The un-issued test-album for BF's 1978 second EP went for over $500, and the metal stamp I think was around $400 ... The interesting thing is as the former band member and label owner, he says how many of each item were made.

Hey! My first post on this great message board. I am so glad I found some folks like myself who go after those old pieces of cardboard. I have got along way to go with my collection, and am glad to have all of you to help guide my way.

No cards on my desk. Just an autograph pic of Don Larsen's perfect game.

Listening to Buddy Holly, Lightnin Hopkins, and Townes Van Zandt today, with a twist of Ol Blue Eyes.

Reading "The Road."

I absolutely love Buddy Holly...got all his songs!!

"Big Take Over" is one of my fav songs of that genre...

It is really cool to see that some of us have a lot more in common then just our hobby.

My favorite band of all and have been for a long time-they are unbelievable and on their 30th Anniversary Tour as we speak. Free live album from it coming real soon.

....i think what this thread shows is: I'd love to have a beer with you guys.

Anytime SST records & Nap Lajoie can be found in the same thread....Wow.

Steve. ETK is Stereolab's best. Very good choice, my friend.
