Some collectibles I own

[markk]

Hello all, I have a few Motley Cure collectibles and was wondering what they were worth. Some of the stuff is in really good condition, others not so much. Overall, I'd say the condition of the collection is 5 on a scale of 1 to 10. If anyone can help me out (I could post pictures if needed) about the approximate value of the following items I'd appreciate it:

1. Stick to Your Guns / Toast of the Town 45: Not the original, but a reprint with DHP-1 (And some other codes) etched on the record

2. Helter Skelter Picture Disc

3. "Sinners Swing" bootleg vinyl (2 records). It's a live recording from Buffalo.

4. 1986 picture disc interview with Mick Mars. Has the four members on one side, and Vince Neil on the other.

5. Interview with Motley Cure picture disc. Mick Mars is on one side with a yellow and black guitar, the other three on the other side saluting the crowd after a show.

6. Smokin' / Use It or Lose It 45 picture disc with the comedy and tragedy faces.

7. Interconnecting 45 picture discs with Smokin / Home Sweet Home.

8. Girls Girls Girls 12 inch single w/ Sumthin for Nuthin and Smokin' on the B side

9. Smokin' 12 inch single with Homes Sweet Home (remix) and Shout at the Devil on the B side

10. "Pain Killers" bootleg vinyl (Tommy Lee on cover). It's a 1984 live album from Tuscon, also has "Take me to the Top" and "Stick to your Guns" studio outtakes.

11. "Theatre of Pain" and "Girls Girls Girls" tour books.

12. VHS bootleg recording in Buckeye Lake, OH of the Girls Girls Girls tour (7/26/87)

Thanks in advance if anyone can help me out re: the value of some of the above items. I had this stuff for over 20 years and found it in my parents' attic recently.  Still a huge Crue fan (saw them live the last two years) to this day.

Of course it depends on the market, but here's my 5 cents:

1. Stick to Your Guns / Toast of the Town 45: Not the original, but a reprint with DHP-1 (And some other codes) etched on the record

I sold one for 80 bucks on Ebay. Seen it go for 120.

2. Helter Skelter Picture Disc

30 - 40 bucks? Depends on condition and whether the original package with the poster is intact.

3. "Sinners Swing" bootleg vinyl (2 records). It's a live recording from Buffalo.

These boots usually go for 40 - 70 bucks.

4. 1986 picture disc interview with Mick Mars. Has the four members on one side, and Vince Neil on the other.

20 - 30.

5. Interview with Motley Cure picture disc. Mick Mars is on one side with a yellow and black guitar, the other three on the other side saluting the crowd after a show.

20 - 30.

6. Smokin' / Use It or Lose It 45 picture disc with the comedy and tragedy faces.

40.

7. Interconnecting 45 picture discs with Smokin / Home Sweet Home.

40.

8. Girls Girls Girls 12 inch single w/ Sumthin for Nuthin and Smokin' on the B side

10 - 20.

9. Smokin' 12 inch single with Homes Sweet Home (remix) and Shout at the Devil on the B side

10 - 20.


10. "Pain Killers" bootleg vinyl (Tommy Lee on cover). It's a 1984 live album from Tuscon, also has "Take me to the Top" and "Stick to your Guns" studio outtakes.

40 - 70.

11. "Theatre of Pain" and "Girls Girls Girls" tour books.

Not the most rare tour books. I'd say 30 - 50 each.

12. VHS bootleg recording in Buckeye Lake, OH of the Girls Girls Girls tour (7/26/87)

I wouldn't pay more than 10 bucks for a VHS recording. Depends on the quality of the recording, and the tape.

This all depends on the condition of the item of course.
And my guesses is based on my own hunt for Motley collectables the last six years.

And by the way, it's Mötley Crüe, not Motley Cure

Thanks David. It's much appreciated. It's difficult for me to spell "Crue"! Can't believe I mispelled it twice. At least you didn't think I was asking about my Cure collection.

Seriously, I remember I bought (well, my parents bought) the Helter Skelter picture disc for $50. Amazed to find out it is worth less these days, and then the tour books are worth more than the $5 or $10 I paid for them. I still have the poster for Helter Skelter, but that was taped to my bedroom wall at some point so it is not mint.

I do remember a bunch of other stuff I had (that book with the pink cover, a few more picture discs), but I couldn't find them. Wish I still had the tour shirts too. And some more stuff from the Shout at the Devil era.

I looked at the threads on this site and am amazed at some of the collections people have. Pretty cool stuff.
