I went back to reddit and found this posted with a ton of comments. Its interesting to me how an item can be looked over here but gains a lot of attention elsewhere. I still do not know who these guys are but its always nice to have a new band to research.

It's hard to tell how these things will be valued sometimes, both by fans and otherwise. The band is growing in popularity, but not really exploding or anything. I've seen them before (about 6 years ago) and recall liking them, but not necessarily thinking they were going to be huge. I think the band is still fairly accessible (most at the club level are), so perhaps the response is in part due to the limited edition (color?) nature of the vinyl.

Ah that would make sense. I have a vinyl collection but do not consider myself a vinyl collector I tried briefly but after seeing how the market is manipulated to keep consumers interested, I switched to buying only what I like and am no longer concerned with pressings, colors or limited variations. I do own a few but I have no idea what goes on in the minds of true collectors these days.. If I get back into it, Id rather go for vinyl from the 20th century. Although any item that includes autographs will always pique my interests.
