Heartland

I just wanted to share my Sisters Treasure with everyone a framed piece of memorabilia I have in my office.

The set list is from the Washington DC concert at the 9:30 Club on September 23, 1999 as is the ticket stub. In the lower right corner of the set list you can see I was lucky enough to get to make his mark.
This was no easy task! The Electric Factory flyer was handed out outside the show after the concert. The Sisters of Mercy stars trading card was given to me that week of the concert as was the Sisters of Mercy logo pin.

Does anyone know who originally marketed the pin?

Anyway I would love to see other peoples Sisters Treasures, so open up and share people.

Thank you and goodnite....Von has left the building.

wow, that is cool.

I have nothing so pretty. And I repeat, that is very cool.

My real treasure is my vnv nation autographs with ticket stub and flyer...but thats a boast for a different set of obsessives..

Dammit - saw the subject line and thought it was some bizarre form of incestuous porn...

I believe it was Poker Box who did the pins. I originally got one through Olympus Designs and picked up another from the Reptile House a couple of years later.

i had the head/star pin... might have been on my leather jacket that was stolen from my car in NYC many yERAs ago...

i found my 1991 Sisters baseball cap in the attic; hardly ever wore it - it's like new!

Cologne 2006 setlist, signed by Andrew, Chris and Ben.

Besides that I've got a signed ticket (same gig) and I own a guitar plectrum of the Tilburg 2005 gig (thrown into the audience by Adam Pearson).

I was waiting for your guitar QB. Be proud!

I've got the pin, although the spurs have snapped. It's now on a chain around my neck. Got it in the indoor market behind the Merrion Centre a couple of years ago...

Sorted little collection, 9w9!

I have a Floodland flyer

Well now that Quiffy's played his hand, I can mention my Chris Catalyst signed set list from Tilburg and Ben Christo signed ticket from Manchester, safe in the knowledge that everyone else's will look equally puny in comparison to the guitar

I'm speechless, Barry!
but - why, God's sake, you let the treasure been touched by Robert De Niro?

Only 4 strings?

Considering most Sisters tunes used the top 2 more than the rest, that's a lot of Gary's finger-grease you're missing!

Must dig out a scan of my fake Von sig.

i have cds, bootlegs and poster from krakow gig

certianly did, thanks

any idea when & where it was taken?

are there any others in circulation that show him using that guitar? that's the only one i've ever seen

Great treasures! Now, to try and get one up on the lot of you, I will endeavour to trap and hold captive a former or current band member and keep him as some sort of twisted pet. They'll be used to such treatment, so it's not as cruel as it sounds. Now, who's the softest target?

I'm not going for Von, before anyone suggests. A man has to know his limitations...
