CDs

a promo version of the album Babylon by Skindred; the gold lettering on the front is printed to the booklet and reads "FOR PROMOTIONAL USE ONLY. SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER IS PROHIBITED. MUST BE RETURNED ON DEMAND OF RECORDING COMPANY"
the first cd i ever owned :')
one of only twenty copies of this demo EP exist in the world from the most underrated (and short-lived (rest in peace sundogs ( they aren't dead the band just broke up))) punk bands ever. the band had posted on their instagram story for physical copies of their first release ever and i dmed them almost immediately and bought one. each CD had the title, the number disc it was, and a little message. mine said SUNDOGS DEMO EP / DISC 10 / I DONT HAVE ANYTHING FUNNY FOR THIS ONE :( and it is probably my most prized posession ever.
an original (not reissued) version of Sick 'Em from the gone-too-soon seattle area punk band 7 Year Bitch

Vinyls

a 7" of an amazing local punk band Thee Deception. i ended up talking to their guitarist at the merch table and he gave me a free shirt! i bought this as a thanks. i also managed to snag their setlist and it's on my wall rn >:)
a signed copy of Imagō by Nostalghia (the cover of mine, unfortunately, has a bit of damage but still a beautiful album regardless)
the number one most expensive thing in my collection, my 8 x LP 30th anniversary box set of Nevermind by Nirvana that i got as a gift from my step-dad
