Probably my earliest collectible is a copy of Rockbill magazine with U2 on the cover from 1983. I don't think Rockbill is still in production.....

U2 4-pack is also in my collection.

I'm pretty ole school U2.

I got one of Larry's (maybe Bono's) drumsticks from Love and Peace or Else in Atlanta, 11-18-05. B dropped them after he was done and the security guard picked one up and I tapped him on his shoulder and he gave it to me! I also collected some confetti in Atlanta and Charlotte. I have some great pics of Love and Peace onPlease login or register to view this link, the name's Jake.....I also have the GA list for Charlotte as I was the one running it.

I also regard my copy of Zoo Europa as a collectible because it was the first bootleg i received in the mail back when trading was the best/fun way to get bootlegs, that is until u2start came along!

Christ I had U23 7inch and 12in (re issue), had all the 1980's Singles double packs....and yes they were left with an old girlfriend in about 1990 in Scotland......not much use to me in Melbourne, eh?

To list a few of my collectables....

First and foremost, as someone else mentioned, the experience of playing with them....I'm "mattfromcanada" from Dublin, June 25 2005, got to play 'Party Girl'

Had the guitar picks, but they were in my van when it was stolen (nooooooo!!!!)

Other than that....

Every 7" release from Three-Vertigo with the exception of 'Another Day' with P/S....have just the vinyl though
My Hometown Croke 85 Bootleg on Vinyl
Backstage Passes from PopMart (cousin was tour accountant with TNA)
'Thanks For Shopping PopMart' signs from the K-Mart tour kick-off (see note above)
this is very cool.....Bottle of wine leftover from the PopMart kick-off party in Las Vegas....probably pretty bad now...maybe I'll open it for my first-born

Three 7" signed by Bono in Toronto, 2001....sunglasses over Peter's eyes
Larry's drumsticks leftover from PopMart Chicago soundcheck
All albums except ATYCLB on Vinyl
Best of 1980-1990 Radio promo disc w/ selected tracks (incl Trash, Trampoline And The Party Girl)
Many many photos and video clips of my Dublin experience

And perhaps the best thing I got from U2....a gateway into the music world. I didn't listen to music before U2....they've broadened my horizons....

No, playing with them was way cooler, but that's still a good bonus!
