How rare is this item?

[DavidMn]

Ok, my friend is a Stevie collector, and he has these two things that I find to be quite remarkable. It's Bella Donna and Wildheart. But the thing is they're in how shall I say this, VERY ornate boxes with engraving on the outside. I'm sure some of you know what I'm talking about.

I think everybody has that. What I mean by "everybody" is hundreds of people. Wynnco sold them for awhile.

They are collectors items, but not incredibly rare. Of course, I don't have them, so...

You know what I'm talking about then I take it. It's almost like theyre alabaster or some material like that. Were they promotional or what?

What are they? Albums?

WHat they are are boxes, but not ordinary boxes. Theyre made out of I dont want to say marble, but something similar to that. They have engraving on the front and a clip on the front to latch them closed. Only Bella Donna and Wildheart. I'd really be curious to know the genesis of these items.

I could be wrong, but I think these are fan-made boxes. What I really want are the wooden boxes that were given by the record company. I had a chance to buy the Bella Donna one for $80 and didn't do it...why, I don't know.

someone kick me in the ass.

I'll bet those fetch a pretty penny these days.

Is it this?



They are pretty cool, but I have never really understood where they came from or why they were made. I don't think they were "official."

Yes that's it! Thank you Tiffany. I'd love to know the genesis of them.

If they are what Tiff showed you, than they are pure unadulterated crap manufactured by the anti-christs of the collectibles world.. WYNNCO. (I'm playa' hatin' I hate Wynnco, but still wish I had one of these...lol) They are fan, (i.e the trolls slaving in the Wynnco basement) made to the best of my knowledge and JazFlow's comment about one that was legit is news to me. I don't see how or why the record company would have made a "box" set persay in the early 80's for something like BD. I dunno, that's just me. If you didn't get something that was legit for $80...bend over and let me be the first to kick thy ass.

Some of these Wynnco boxes had t-shirts and stuff in them. Really a nice package, but back in the day when they first started offering them, they wanted like $250 or something. My bitterness for those of you unfamiliar was having bought "boot" copies of the boot collection Uncirculated Rumours for approx $350 from Wynnco, and as the Internet grew and my knowledge grew, realizing that 99% of the stuff I had purchased from them over the years photos, cd's, "press-kits" all fakes. Bastards...and then they send all this psycho zealous Religous flyers w/ each purchase....JOY! Anyway........

I remember that about them getting those religious things with the package. Always gave me a good laugh.

Yea, and it was always like "Rock and Roll is the Devil's tool. Beware of Satan." SOB's...HELLLO, you are selling R&R memrobilia. WhatEVAH! So they are bassackwards, AND selling me fake sheet! Unreal.

So, how is it your friend doesn't know all about them? What did he or she have to say about them?

He was like It's a neccecary evil. One of those things. I'll bet if I told them I was gay theyd stop doing business with me huh?

Now, now, don't hate on Wynnco. Where else can you get a pair of "Stevie's" old pantyhose and "Lindsey's" speedo, in a dingy old gymbag for a mere $2,000? Sotheyby's tags still attached!!!



(Wonder why that hasn't sold .)

Here's the Rock A Little box, by the way. I looked for the Wild Heart one, but they don't have it up anymore.
