Autographed MJY Matchbook
« on: June 13, 2014, 06:35:49 PM »
I almost fell off my rocker and bought this thing, but then I got my wits about me and remembered that I was cheap and (despite how fucking cool this is) would not spend that much money on a matchbook. Part of me would, but if I always succumbed to those urges, I'd be dirt poor. So, here it is for anyone who may be interested. It's a pretty cool piece of memorabilia. I was actually looking for rare Nine Inch Nails stuff (which I also found), when I stumbled upon this.

Now, if this was a tangible MJY demo tape, I would've gladly dropped the money.

This is pretty fucking cool. I don't think you're cheap for not paying that amount, I wouldn't either.
You dirty pirate hooker. Go back to your home on Whore Island!

I'd drop some money if a Mighty Joe Young shirt surfaced.

Good, glad to know I'm not off base in thinking that lol.

Hmmmmm. I'd probably agree with that, that'd be pretty dope. This kinda makes me wonder what else could be out there, nothing obscene of course, but little things having to do with MJY. Actually, I'd like to know who designed the MJY logo, I've always thought it was really simplistic and cool.

That's a pretty incredible find. Even just the matchbook on it's own has got to be a rare item - who saves matchbooks? Seriously.

It's a cool find but extremely overpriced IMO. I found an original MJY demo tape and press kit years ago on eBay and got it for less than the price of the matchbook.

I agree, but I'd kill for an MJY demo. That's cool that you found one on there, just tells me I should be more ebay-vigilant for this sort of thing. How much did it run you exactly if you can recall?

I saw that matchbook on Ebay last night. It's definitely cool, but as someone already stated, it's too expensive for what it is. But speaking of MJY demo tapes, I got a 3-track 1991 MJY demo on Ebay a while back. The seller was a former A&R person. It had Super Scary Area, Naked Sunday and Piece of Pie on it. It was a steal.
Karma schmarma.

Lol. Damn you guys, having those demos. That's cool though, I can't help but wonder how many demos are still just out there, just floating around. I can tell you that if I get my hands on one, I'll probably have it till death lol.
