I'd love to see them That is awesome!

I stopped at a yard sale recently where the elderly woman was leaving to a nursing home and among her belonging she was selling was what looked to me like every single Elvis record and trinket ever produced. TONS of plastic elvis crap!

Someday someone is going to go to a yardsale and hit the Prince the jackpot with all of us obsessives.lol

this person keeps their collection in a bloody warehouse!! i think they must be a tad obsessed

I can't guarantee it, but I would bet money that Serpan from Holland has the biggest collection of everything Prince outside of Paisley Park.

My wife was cool enough to buy me record frames for Christmas last year! I used them for some of my rarer 12" singles though.

Keep her.

Wait a minute, I just realized there are two Prince geeks who have wives!!!

There were two girls that lived outside Houston that had an entire single-wide mobile home filled with Prince stuff. I've been there a few times.

They sold it (I don't know to who, but not me ) about 15 years ago.

That mobile home was outfitted like a record store - bins and bins and bins of stuff.

For some unknown yet bizarre reason, they ditched Prince for Michael Bolton.

I'm told that while they did not actually know Prince, he'd heard about them.

AMEN on that, Serpan has an excellent collection

Thanks for sharing, And djdaffy1227 - wow! Nice collection.

Nice thread, and just wanted to remind all of you, we are looking for folks that would like to share pics of collections etc. for the book project! (vvv see link below)

who is "serpan from holland", "Alex from Sleevographia" and the "Madhouse UK folks" that was mentioned in this thread??? are these nicknames of this community?

"Serpan from Holland" is a long time member of the Org and other Prince sites over the years. He's very well known within the Prince collecting world for his enthusiasm.

suomynona used to have a link in his profile that showed a pic of a massive CD collection... http://prince.org/profile/suomynona

If think the person with the biggest collection is Yormeister (Tom and Joris from Belgium).
Other "big" collectors are indeed Serpan99, Aprilsnow, and Thomas Duus.

These days, I am not that much interested in getting all released Cds, maxi's etc etc.
My main interest is used/unused Prince concert tickets !!

I thought of you Xeno. There was an unused concert ticket on E-Bay yesterday.

does anybody of you know if these hardcore-prince-collectors have a webside or so?

To my knowledge only the Yormeister dudes do. But their site is not of their collection, it's an online Prince store.

Jesus! That was scary. That dude loves Prince's face & hot pants more than his music, for me it's the music all the way. Happy to say I have all his cd's and vinyls, no posters except for that god awful one that folded out in the rave CD
