DT collection

I picked up this Illumination Theory picture disc off Amazon a couple of months ago.

That was the Independent Record Store Day release from a year or so ago. If you paid more than $13 for that, you paid too much. You can still find them in stores for that price.

I paid $16 for it and since I've never seen them anywhere in a store, being that I generally don't go to stores to buy music, I'm not going to whine about a few dollars.

That's not bad.  Most I've seen online seem to go for double or triple that if not more.

Never understood the idea that people would want to pay more for something they could get for less, but there are quite a few things I don't understand lately.

To be fair, if you have to spend a few dollars on gas to get to the store, the cost basically offsets.

Well, sure. A few dollars more is fine. What I don't get is the quite a bit more than that. And the shipping offsets the gas unless you're getting it shipped free.

How much have you seen it go for?  I'm surprised I never came across it on ebay.

[RaiseTheKnife]

I picked it up on record release day too for about $13 or so.  Luckily, Dream Theater was there to sign it as well!

Stuff:

Awake-era cloth flag; signed this tour cycle by the band
SC Tour Book signed
3- Meet & Greet photos + VIP passes (SC, ADToE, DT12)
Tickets from all the shows my wife and I have seen (2004 to present at least once each cycle)

NYC crest (military green from the SC era) signed by the band

Many, many memories and photos that cannot be cataloged...

I really didn't set out to collect anything... this is all just stuff that I've amassed being a fan for 23-years.

[vtgrad]

Since I never did post my collection in the earlier thread, I'll take this opportunity to post it here.  I think this represents all the stuff I have (minus the VIP tote bags, glassware, ticket stubs, Guitar Magazines, various t-shirts and Rock Discipline VHS tape).  Several of the CD's and programs are autographed inside the booklets.   My Majesty demo is signed by Derek.

Actually, after seeing this post, maybe I shouldn't have posted at all. 

Awesome collection 

[hefdaddy42]

I don't have anything really weird or unusual.  I have the signed promo lithograph for Systematic Chaos that available as a gift for preorders (500 or so), and I have I&W Live in Tokyo on VHS.  And the cassette of Awake.

[Prog Snob]

I don't have the patience to lay out everything and take photos of it all, besides most of it is packed away for the move.  Maybe when I move into the apartment and have to unpack everything I'll do it.

The only thing unusual I might have is the Awake-era flag... got comments from all of the guys on that one.  Even their tour manager (or the guy I assumed was their tour manager) made a comment about it... asked me if I made it!  I honestly have no idea where my wife found it.

The Awake cassette is VERY cool to me... the only cassette I have of DT is I&W.  I remember that day in 7th grade... man I was so excited to get that thing home and blast it!  I even remember the smell of the tape when I opened it; it had an industrial smell that was quite "pleasing to the nose."  Still has the smell...

Yeah, I remember the cassette smell. 

Interesting thing about the Awake cassette: it lacks Scarred.  Running time limitations.  For some time after release, I didn't know anything about Scarred.  Imagine my surprise when I finally upgraded to CD and discovered an unbelievably awesome new song!

I didn't know about the cassette not having scarred. I was also quite surprised that up to Octavarium, DT still released on cassette.

I purposely bought the Awake cassette off eBay a while back just for that reason.

Thanks!  The LTE Box set is worth every penny.

Oh, and II always expect Innocence Faded's last few notes before Space Dye Vest.  Conditioned by the cassette order.

I don't really check that often, but I checked a few weeks back and there were a bunch of them in the $20 to $30 plus range and a few for a little less than that.

Looks kinda like one of Steve Theater's artworks, or perhaps that of another forum member, though I don't think Blob would've done that.

It's very well done. Just not my thing. 
I'm kind of guessing that there's no compensation to the artist involved based on where it's coming from.
