What eBay could learn from Etsy. The art of the sell.

September 12, 2016 by evpcd

I’ve been a member of eBay since November of 1997. Yeah, a long time. Done literally hundreds and hundreds of transactions both as a buyer and seller. For the most part most have gone well. I have flawless feedback somewhere in the 1000’s. And yeah, been scammed a few times. Had my share of of dealing with miserable sellers. As well as being a disgruntled buyer a few times. But overall can’t really complain. Until now. Collecting isn’t a hobby with me, […]

Advertising and Marketing The Doors. A dream assignment?

May 12, 2016 by evpcd

I’ve been in the marketing/advertising biz for over 30 years. And with the exception of a handful of very cool projects, working with Slash for the L.A. Zoo, and Guitar Hero for Aerosmith, I’ve never really had the opportunity to market a band. My background is graphic design and illustration so it’s no surprise my collection is driven by what I find visually appealing. I began to look at the ads created by Elektra and placed in music trade publications […]

The Doors L.A. Woman. Motel money murder madness.

May 9, 2016 by evpcd

This is hands down my favorite Doors album. Period. And L.A. Woman might be my favorite Doors song. Jim as his best. Honest and raw. I’ve looked for any memorabilia connected with this album and while there isn’t much, I’ve managed to track down a few items. The following was taken from teamrock.com. http://teamrock.com/feature/2014-11-05/the-20-greatest-doors-songs In which Mr Mojo Risin’ declares his love for all the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows and the City of Light in particular. The original handwritten […]

Everybody remembers their “first.” My Jim Morrison and Doors autograph.

March 22, 2016 by evpcd

An amazing find. To be perfectly honest, I already had resigned myself to NEVER owning an early Doors autograph. Let alone anything signed by Jim himself. So go figure. Here’s a fully signed Doors tour book from 1969. A rare program on it’s own, but this one is signed by the entire band. Each member signing on his page and Jim signing next to the opening page where the lyrics to “The Wasp. Texas Radio and The Big Beat” are […]

Selling or trading things you swore would die with you, to buy other stuff you swear will die with you.

October 12, 2015 by evpcd

With us crazy collectors the hunt for “stuff” is never over. With me while I can say, ” Yeah I’ve been looking for one of these or one of those for years.” I find it’s more about what’s out there that I don’t know about. What I have never seen before and don’t even know exists. That’s the thrilling and exciting part of the hunt for me. Finding stuff and being offered pieces that I’ve never seen. Over the years […]

John Densmore Drummer for The Doors. “Snarling as hell, that was my sound.”

September 18, 2015 by evpcd

“It was a pretty standard set-up. One tom-tom on the bass drum and a floor tom. Real spectacular! I never went for the two bass drum routine; there are lots of people who can do more with one than most guys can do with two. I liked to take the bottom heads off my toms to make them bark and growl. I hated new skins – I loved the sound of ’em after they’d been beaten to death for months, […]

Before they were rock and roll icons. Richard, Saul, William, Bruce and James.

March 8, 2015 by evpcd

You know you’ve made it to “rock icon status” when just your first name is enough. Or Ringo, Slash, Axl, Bruce and Jim. I’ve always been fascinated by the origins and beginnings of rock stars and collecting the related memorabilia to their early bands and careers. Photos, set lists, business cards or even high school yearbooks, helps me understand and appreciate how they became who they are. In this post I’ll share some of what I’ve been able to track […]
