Nice list! I'd love a McCartney but even at $1500 retail I'm not sure I could do it regardless of what it's really worth. 

I passed on the airplane book and regret it so much now. My plan would have been to cut the page and mount with one of my Neilson signatures but decided to leave it for someone who would leave the book intact. I thought it's probably for the best for the sake of the hobby but I grew up on this type of comedy. Stupid me didn't consider just keeping the book intact for my own collection instead of cutting lol. Bonehead decision. 

Hopefully Green Day comes through for you. It's one Im probably going to cave in and buy on the secondary market if anything.

Thanks man! You had an awesome year from your list, but hope next year is better for you medically!
:-)

Yeah, I was lucky enough to find McCartney at retail but still not an easy one on the wallet by any means…

Same on comedy and always neat hearing about your SNL collection…had to have the Airplane! book after growing up on the movie. Hope you can track one down eventually but very cool to have Nielsen. 

Thanks about Green Day, hoping there may be something either in-store or online on/around release date…I was cautious of doing the pre-order indie-store thing, thinking it was a repeat of  RHCP but should have gone for it. Agree will probably go secondary if nothing else.

That's some great stuff! I wanted to send off for the scorpions fanmail. Emailed them about it and they told me to send a few euros for shipping with my request. I asked if they would take US dollars and never received a response. Ended up spending around $30 for the vinyl that included the signed card. I'd really love to grab 1 more for my daughter. How long did the turn around take?

Thanks JH :) 

Specifically this item didn't take too long, for me it was about like 2-3 weeks from the day I visited the post-office to the day I got the return envelope back. But I'm from Israel and the shipping services here are pretty slow, although I'm not sure if it's slower than from US to Europe and back...

I became active here about 15 months ago and I can't speak highly enough of the group here. While I'm typically not fast enough to start a thread, I try to contribute within threads wherever I think I can help. Some stuff I've found this year, mainly due to this site, but some on my own:

Brian Johnson

Geezer Butler

Wolfgang Van Halen

Gary Moore

Vinny Appice

Sacred Reich full band

Machine Head full band

Rob Halford

Kai Hansen

Michael Weikath

Adrian Vandenberg

Rival Sons full band

Glenn Danzig & Jerry Only

Gavin Rossdale

Riot V full band

Mick Box

Ed Sheeran

The Airplane! guys

Empire State Bastard

Carcass full band

Billy Connolly (gift for family member)

Andy Partridge (gift for family member

Regarding misses, I'm trying to think if there was anything that wasn't a live event (really jealous of those who met James Hetfield and today, Neil Young). If the Green Day order cancels that will be very disappointing. That's about all I can think of.

Machine Head was available @ Zia Records on December 23rd 2022, received mine on Jan 3rd, 2023. Machine Head - Of Kingdom & Crown (Autographed Zia Exclusive) Brown & Orange Color Vinyl. Not sure if other stores had it too. It turned out really decent.
