Dad’s Deep Space Ticket

Back in the early days tape trading was done by slow mail. Exchanging lists and Grateful Dead concert’s on Maxel XL Chrome 90 minutes cassette deck tapes.

But Internet was born and the library of the world opened up. Still trading tapes but contacts and info via the quick (CompuServe) news-groups.

Here’s a list from back of these good ol’ days. Compiled by Gary Ross and published in a Relix magazine years ago. A star (*) means i had the concert on tape. I still have a box with tapes in custom made covers somewhere on the attack…

More records for sale

The ‘Grateful Dead Collector’s Shop NL‘ is on its way now.

I’ve posted quite a few Books, Comics , Cards and Tickets for sale now. And i am beginning with the vinyl and compact discs. The prices are based on the regular Discogs price, and on the eBay prices. The quality of the vinyl/disc and of the cover/inlay is also an influence on the price, as is the availability of the item.
For being a (former) collector myself i try to grade the items conservatively so not to disappoint the buyers/collectors. A result of that conservative grading is that i still have an 100 % positive grading on the discogs site.

This site with all Grateful Dead items has no grading option but rest asure. I will try to do my upmost best to keep the customers satisfied! The records were always stored vertically in a smoke-free room.
Every item has it’s own photo’s and I try to collect additional info from the internet.
Coming weeks this site will be updated with new items.
In the meantime, here’s a video I once made for YouTube.

Happy Collecting !
