I started collecting “Garbage” in 2007. But I bought my first single “Stupid Girl” in 2006. That makes Driving Lesson my first b-side! My main collection consist of singles but its growing to vinyl and memorabilia.

The biggest problem I’ve encountered is, I don’t have pay pal so I only buy within the United States. Not everything I want to buy is located here but I make do. I think I’ve done quite well for myself! My collection has set me back almost 300 USD. The most expensive item I have purchased alone is the SYM collection for 20 USD. The cheapest probably the Breaking Up The Girl European card sleeve about 3 USD. Unites states promos don’t really interest me at all. I think there drab and no fun! So I don’t own any. On to my collection its not big nor interesting but it keeps me busy! I like to say “I’m a hard-core collector in the making”.

Self tittled

This era took place right when I started school. Back in 1996, I was 5 so as you can imagine I wouldn’t remember them. As you can see very basic stuff. The G shirt is home made, it reads Garbage on the back. Milk number #11601.

Version 2.0

For this era I would just be turning 7. I was into the whole 90’s pop thing so no Garbage. I have every UK single for this album. My Trick is to keep breathing is from Germany and is still sealed! Trash26 is the first and only trash I own haha. This is a era where I want to collect memorabilia from.

beautifulgarbage

Ahhh beautifulgarbage. My favorite album by far. Come on how could ya not love it? As you see I have the special edition rose fold out CD and the SYM full set singles. Believe it or not these were really easy to get. I want to have every official release from this era.

Bleed Like Me

This era holds a special place in my heart. This is the first time I had ever point blank heard of “Garbage?” The coolest item I think from this era is the WDYLM 7″ with the real pink tape! I have all the vinyl from this era. Which I think is quite cool =) I have a US press photo showing off Shirley’s sexy legs and 4 BLM promo cards. I had 5 but gave one to a friend.

Absolute Garbage and Other

In this bin I have the special edition AG along with the fabulous DVD. Garbage star profile and a set of 9 unofficial 1″buttons. Not listed are my cut outs of every era.

Wish list
Things I’m always trying to get my grubby hands on are: Debut UK 7″collectors box, BUTG 1,2,3, Cherry Lips 2, Androgyny 1, Debut 12″vinyl, rest of debut 7″vinyl.
