Most Valuable Release That You Own

[Raime]

I used to see posts on Facebook groups I was a part of where we'd pull out either our most cherished, expensive, or rarest release, and I thought "Hey, I don't actually know what people here have". I don't usually spend too much on releases (only spent over 100 dollars once, and that was for internet documentation purposes).

Most cherished: Flying Saucer Attack - s/t (first pressing, self released)

I've been a big FSA fan for over a decade, and to have this hand numbered release, and with photocopied booklet just gives me warm and fuzzy feelings. It's not one of first hundred, but it's just really cool to see how much love was put into making this release come to life. I only spent around 30 dollars on this too, which makes it extra special for getting it so cheap.

Most Expensive: Home - "Odyssey" (First Pressing)

I paid 15 dollars or something like that for this because "ha, meme song not bad" when I first saw it go up on bandcamp. Checked my collection one day and noticed people were paying $350 for a meme. It'll be good for when I move away and can't take everything with me and need to sell stuff.

Rarest: Waves Crashing Piano Chords "Just Give Me Something to Fuck" (Lathe Cut, Nickelodeon Orange)

I guess I was just lucky, but I have the only "Nickelodeon Orange" version that was cut, and the lathe cut release was only an edition of 8 as it is. Not sure how I came across "Juggalo Power Electronics", but yeah, it's a cute little release. Kind of wonder how much it's worth tho, considering a fair amount of people on discogs want it.
