Ok, i've been recently trawling through ebay trying to increase my physical U2 collection which has been successful (it's now huge). It's mostly all common singles, vinyls and magazines etc but I have picked up a few collectible bargains. My favorite items are my Australian Numb video single (individually numbered 523) and my Slane lithograph (huge) and my Bomb singles on 3 inch CD.

Now I want to be nosy and ask you guys if you have any particular collectibles. I know Remy has The Fly shades the jammy git. I can't push myself to spend £70 on them. So tell me what you've got and post pics if you wish

ooh a Popmart Lemon? The inflatable? Quite cool indeed. I'm not a collector of t-shirts. I also have the Bomb/Book combination but I though it was a little too common to list

If it's collectible, list it! I can't wait...though people call me mad.

I'd have to check the quality of the second one (it's in the loft), but yeah, maybe something could be arranged.

I hope to say the following within 2 years: 'I went to a U2-concert and all I got was this lousy t-shirt....and a brilliant show'.

The only show I attended was in 2001 and I was a very poor student. I did buy my (now ex-) girlfriend a shirt, and bought myself an Elevation beanie....no idea where it is now.
