The poster from Controversy as Pete posted. C'mon now. Yes I’ve seen it. I think the poster must have had the cross cropped out But Im guessing if it wasn’t cropped it wasn’t shocking in my kid head cause I guess I had seen plenty Of guys wearing speedos with crucifix’s around their necks at the beach. I guess adults see more dirt than kids do. That was my kid thinking at the time. But your right I had seen it. | |

i wasn't being smartass, i didn't know if you were a long time fan or not, we have newer fans too so I usually don't talk like that. the longtime fans should help the newer fans.. | |

It’s ok not offended. When you all were discussing the poster before it sounded outrageous So I couldn’t recall what that would be. Honestly in the home I grew up in, no one was gonna hang half naked stuff on the wall exception being Jesus. Thanks for the help it really is the most young and most old that need help remembering sometimes babies and old people.... and I’m not a baby so thanks for the help recalling. | |

I put all my tour t-shirts in a bag for the charity shop in 2013. About 20-30 of them, they were just taking up space and didn't fit me anymore - some were well worn, some were brand new. I totally regret doing that. | |

"That mountain top situation is not really what it's all cracked up 2 B when was doing the Purple Rain tour had a lot of people who knew 'll never c again @ the concerts.just screamin n places they thought they was suppose 2 scream." | |

I don't think I've thrown a darn thing away! Wait a minute, I think I did throw a few "Right On!" Magazines away before knowing he was going to be a Superstar... | |

serious? i'm sure that would have been worth a lot to a collector. my bro has a cheap knockoff vinyl that is obviously bootleg, we got it at the lovesexy concert, i got a tape, some guy was walking the line and selling them. | |

The only thing(s) I think I actually threw away were my magazines, including most of the Uptown editions. | |

The Tamborracca that I bought for 50 bucks that now goes for upwards of 500 bucks, ouch! Batman ST in the "Batcan" cd holder from Tower. A huge custom Prince Graffitti Bridge Tower records sign made out of foamcore. Sighhhhh | |

One more: a giant (I think subway-size?) poster of Diamonds And Pearls. It was HUGE - I bought it on spring break that year in Myrtle Beach and had to try to get it home (driving) without wrecking it. | |

Wow, I would have bought them from u. haha I know, it seems silly now with hindsight, but I was having a clearout and knew that if I didn't put them in those bags with the rest of the stuff for charity, that I'd just end up not selling them and they'd be sat there for another x amount of decades. There were about 5 New ones never worn, mostly from the early nineties. The one I regret most was well worn, a crop top with P Sat on a chair with head bowed. I loved that top, and I've not seen it for sale on the usual sites since he died. | |

similar thing happened to me.. parents had some stuff in storage in the UK , so i put some stuff in there also, i went overseas for a few years, when I came back i asked them what about the storage and they had no clue what i was even talking about..
they'd even forgotten they had it, so likely it was just sold or auctioned off at the storage place someone got some bargains
old vinyl, cd's magazines etc... [Edited 2/15/19 22:36pm] Hard to believe I've been on the org for over 25 years now! | |

The only Prince stuff I've thrown away are magazines that I bought that had articles about him, and a small white refrigerator magnet with the symbol in purple on it. | |

This and 1 or 2 other pastel drawings of Prince i did when i was at school back in 1991. It was pretty big (around 1.2m tall) and was starting to get a bit faded and ragged around the edges so i took a photo and chucked it. Bad move! | |
