I remember when I saw PopMart in L.A. I got a cool little flyer that had all kinds of PopCrap you could buy on it. Everything from snow globes to condoms to whatever. People at the show were tossing around those inflatable lemons around the coliseum like they were beach balls. I wish I would've picked a couple up.
Over the years my collection has waned due occasional lapses in judgement. Items that went way of used record stores, ebay and whatever include:
"Two Hearts Beat as One" Remix 12"
All the 12" cassette singles from Joshua Tree
An original JT tour book
Zooropa Europe tourbook
a ZooTV condom
Yeah, I'm an idiot. The only thing I have left is the "official" Rattle and Hum" companion book to the movie.

awesome mate. just awesome. Not keen on that last one though.
Is that the Vertigo necklace in that little pouch? I like that one
That last one is an incredibly rare print by Trevor Horswell, number 31/450. All plates have been destroyed so it can never be reproduced. I love it ;-)
And yes, that is the V/05 necklace..................
