LC Report post Posted December 31, 2018 MJ started this intriguing thread way back in 2007 and got some great responses citing our prized Raspberries possessions. Let’s take a few minutes to update our picks—or talk about what we’ve added over the past decade! Bernie—especially interested in hearing from you.... NOTE: This is sort of a slow-developing thread. A few worthy posts on the first two pages get interrupted a lot by tomfoolery (I won’t mention names but you’ll see it’s mostly Lew and Marv). By the bottom of page 2, though, it starts cookin’. All of which brings up the point, Bernie, that if you keep decide not to nuke the community, you’ll get more PR for the next garage sale! 😄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kirk Report post Posted January 1, 2019 That was fun to revisit...I still have the HOF postcard with all 6 Raspberries signatures, still have the '2,000,000 hits' Eric autographed Strat, and, as with Marvin, a complete Raspberries Fan Club kit still intact after all these years, and just too many other things to list.

LC Report post Posted January 23, 2019 One of my prizes is a set list that Marlene sent me from a Raspberries reunion. :-) Thank you, Marlene. And, I do keep my signed 'berries Sunset Strip CD in a place of honor—it's got not only four autographs I got in person, but they're all on that nice-looking CD cover, which was designed by Bernie himself. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raspbernie Report post Posted January 24, 2019 By the way, that was a pretty incredible box set I put together for the Platinum Edition of "Raspberries: Tonight!" The trading cards, a stage-used guitar string, guitar picks, a reproduction of the scratch 'n' sniff sticker, an autographed photo...C'mon! That was pretty cool!

The couple of years after I received it I got Eric to sign the the card that came with his guitar string, I got the entire band to sign the cover in Silver Sharpie, I got all of the Overdubs and Crew members to sign it on the inside, and of course I got Bernie & Ken to sign it as well! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LC Report post Posted May 20, 2019 Garage sale! Garage sale! Garage sale! Bernie, I hope you get in a "pruning" mood soon. A garage sale could perk up our board.... I can probably find a few things to add to the party. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LC Report post Posted May 24, 2019 On eBay last month, somebody spent $100 for your Marathon Man book, Bernie. (https://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Raspberries-Eric-Carmen-MARATHON-MAN-2004-1st-Edition-Book-Mint-Rare/113714433276?epid=122290010&hash=item1a79e88cfc:g:siYAAOSwS4tcrgy1) And we seen it sell for even higher prices in the recent past. I got a kick out of the seller's note: "This book was never read..." Makes an author feel good, huh? Well, he/she likely bought two copies, one to read and one as an investment. On the other hand, last year, I saw on eBay that somebody was selling a baseball book I wrote in the late 1990s; it had been autographed by both me and the photographer whose work was featured. I even personalized it "To Ed...." Apparently, Ed no longer wanted his collector's item book of Mickey Mantle photography. So, I bought it myself! And I gave it to a close friend of mine whose name is Ed. Worked out nicely! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
