Welcome to my online garage sale. There are 3 pages; you are on page 1. There is a link to the next page at the bottom.

Click on the camera to see each item. The photos are very low resolution but should be a sufficient guide. Most of the posters were shrink-wrapped on acid-free board at the time I took the photos, and they show a lot of glare and reflection, but there wasn't much I could do about that. Poster sizes are approximate.

Email me (1) what you want and (2) your state or country. I will email you back with a total price (including postage any applicable fees and sales tax; if you want insurance you need to ask for it).  Then you can login to Paypal.com either as a member or "guest" and pay with your credit card to my email address.  Minimum order is $20. If you are serious about buying, I'm happy to answer any questions you have. Don't ask "is it still available" unless you are prepared to buy if it is available. I consider "Is it available" equivalent to an offer to buy at the stated price plus shipping.

The persons on the mailing list receive advance notice of this sale.  If you did not get advance notice it means you aren't on the mailing list because you either never signed up, your email changed, you didn't check your email or you never ordered the new book. If you want advance notice next time, get on the mailing list.

Happy shopping!

STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN
 
The Really Cool Stuff
  In Step Band/VIP-ONLY Tour Jacket. The highest quality tour jacket of all the jackets made for the band/crew. This beautiful black wool and red leather coat is exceptionally rare and was never available to the public. Each band and major crew member had a jacket with their name embroidered on the front above the In Step logo (this one belonged to crew member Danny), and the back is embroidered with the large "SRV and Double Trouble" logo. You could put a pin or two over Danny's name and no one would even know it's there, and the jacket would still be in original condition. My experience with these letterman-style jackets is that they run larger than the size tag indicates. I am six feet tall and 175 pounds, and this jacket fits almost like it was tailored for me. There is plenty of length in the body and sleeves for me; it is comfortable but a little snug around the middle which is where all my weight seems to be going as I get older! The jacket is used, but the leather is in excellent condition and has been well taken care of. The fabric collar and cuffs are the only places with slight fuzziness from being used. I have only seen three or maybe four of these jackets on the market. Stevie's jacket now belongs to friends of mine and has been exhibited at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame + Museum in Cleveland. Janna's jacket is in my SRV Museum Collection. There might have been one other on the market, but that's about it. All the band/VIP-only jackets are rare, but many think this one is the best looking. $1995
1984 Couldn't Stand the Weather Tour Jacket - Impossibly rare. One of only three on the market in the past 20 years, to my knowledge, and I have two of them (the other stays in the museum collection). Embroidered front and back, this is the first SRV tour jacket to feature embroidery and was only the second tour jacket ever made for the band. The first was a satin jacket with a printed design. This was crew member Dan's jacket, his name embroidered on the front. Again, if you want to hide his name without damaging the jacket, put a small pin over his name. $1750
1987 Live Alive Tour Jacket - The most elaborately embroidered of all the tour jackets (and the only "hoodie"), with a large image of Stevie wearing the Native American headdress on the back. This is nice warm jacket with a liner, zip front plus snaps and a hood that can be left inside or pulled out. Size M.  One dark spot on one elbow, cuffs and bottom elastic a little bit "fuzzy" which could be rememdied easily.  $750
1985 Japan Tour Program - One of only two SRV&DT tour programs ever created, this is by far the most rare! (The other was for the Australian tour.) In almost twenty years of collecting I've seen less than ten of these on the market in the United States. 20 pages, oversized heavy cardstock paper.  $295
The ULTIMATE SRV Guitar Collection - This is my personal collection of replicas of Stevie's most famous guitars. These will be sold ONLY as a set of four guitars. I will not respond to any requests to sell individual guitars.

1. The Fender Custom Shop "Number One."  Luthier John Cruz confirmed for me that this is #12 of only 100 Custom Shop guitars. According to a dealer at the Dallas Guitar Show in 2009, the asking price on these is now $50,000-55,000 if you can find one. Custom Shop guitars like this are investment grade. Flight case, case candy and original box.

2. The Fender Custom Shop "Lenny." Only 185 of these guitars were released for the U.S. market in 2007 by the famous Custom Shop. The original sold for $623,000. Flight case, case candy and original box.

3. Charley's Guitar Shop "Lipstick Special." Number 1 of only 23 made by Charley's Guitar Shop and Rene Martinez in January 2003. That's right - this is #1, the very first one. Other owners include Carlos Santana, John Mayer and other celebrities. Irridescent blue/white "flip-flop" paint, Charley's logo, hula girl on back, immitation snakeskin case. Certificate signed by Rene Martinez, Stevie's guitar tech. Best tone of any guitar I own.

4. Jim Hamilton "Hamiltone" a.ka. "Main." The most beautiful guitar I have ever owned. Sweet tone. This is  number 01, made in 2004 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Stevie receiving his from Jim Hamilton in April 1984. There are photos of this guitar being made in Jim's studio elsewhere on this website. Signed on the back of the headstock by Jim Hamilton. This is NOT one of the asian knockoffs being sold by someone other than Jim Hamilton under the Hamiltone name. This is the real deal made by the same man who made Stevie's guitar.

GUITAR PICKS

 

There are 17 different custom picks with Stevie's name printed on the pick. Easily the most common pick Stevie used was a plain ol' Fender medium. The only guitar picks I can confidently say were actually used by Stevie Ray Vaughan to make some of the most amazing music in history are those I have obtained directly from his roadies or his former fiance. 

Picks showing wear from use by Stevie:
- Fender medium, red. He used these throughout his career, but particularly in the early years. USED. $1250
- Fender medium, red. Similar to above. USED. $1250
- Fender medium, light blue. USED. $1250
- Fender medium, tortoise shell. USED. $1250 (not pictured)

Custom picks (no wear apparent):
- Yellow "Stevie Ray" - his second pick with his name on it. ca. 1983. $850
- Tortoise shell "Stevie Ray Vaughan" in white. Probably his fourth pick, and first to have full name. SOLD
- Purple Delrin "Stevie Ray Vaughan". $700
- White "Stevie Ray Vaughan" on two lines. $700
- Multicolor "Stevie Ray Vaughan" in gold letters. $700
- Multicolor "Stevie Ray Vaughan" in gold letters. $700
- Multicolor "Stevie Ray Vaughan" in gold letters. $700
- Multicolor "Stevie Ray Vaughan" in highly contrasting white letters. I don't think I'm going to sell this one, but you can make an offer.

Other SRV picks 
One of Stevie's roadies recently discovered some guitar picks left over from touring with Stevie. These picks all date to the period 1983-1985 and are unused. They are from two of Stevie's favorite guitar shops - Ray Hennig's Heart of Texas Music in Austin, and Charley's Guitar Shop in Dallas. I think they are really cool because of where they are from and I added some of these to my Stevie pick collection because they are just as much from Stevie's pick supply as those with his name on them. Not as expensive, but just as genuine. Because they do not have Stevie's name on them, we are offering them for ONLY $100 each, or a set of seven for $650
- Vintage "H.O.T. Music" pick from Ray Hennig's Heart of Texas Music in Austin, Texas! Ray's store is where Stevie got Number One in 1974, and where he would stop before shows to get picks, strings, etc. Available in red, white, blue, tortoise and black. State your top two color choices, and if we run out of your top choices we'll send you one of the others.
- Vintage Charley's Guitar Shop pick from Dallas, Texas. Charley Wirz was, of course, the man Stevie dedicated "Life Without You" to. Charley started the Dallas Guitar Show in 1978, and it continues on today. Stevie obtained several guitars from Charley, including the famous white guitar on the cover of Couldn't Stand the Weather. Picks available in yellow and white glow-in-the-dark. State your preference, but if we run out of glow-in-the-dark we'll send you a yellow one.

AUTOGRAPHS
Autographs - Extrememly rare poster signed by all four band members! This is the only one of these genuine 1988 UK concert posters I have ever seen, and it is signed! I hate to part with it but I cannot keep everything. The poster is approximately 30" x 20" and has been signed by all four band members in black Sharpie - Stevie signed the guitar, Chris and Tommy above Stevie's signature, and Reese signed to the left of them in the black area. Unfortunately you have to look at Reese's signature at the right angle to see it because he signed black on black. The poster has bee folded three times and there is some edge and surface ware but it displays great! I've had it sitting next to my TV in the living room in a temporary frame since the day I got it. The orange color is a very bright day-glo orange which the camera did not capture. A very rare opportunity to get a great autographed original concert poster.  $1750

Autograph - Texas Flood album (New Zealand pressing) signed boldly in black marker by all three band members. This is incredible! One of the most high contrast signed album covers I have ever had, and no personalized inscription! This would frame beautifully and be the centerpiece of most collections. $1250
Autograph - Live Alive promotional flat (12x12") signed in bold blue marker ca. 1987 for an acquaintance of Stevie's publicist. The man had correspondence from Stevie's publicist to prove their acquaintance. He worked for the Liverpool newspaper. $1095
Autograph - Live Alive album cover signed large on the front in green marker "Stevie Ray Vaughan c/s" and on the back cover by Chris, Tommy and Reese. Chris tried to sign with a ballpoint on the picture of the cymbal and it is indistinct. $850
  Autograph. Soul To Soul-era Stevie Ray Vaughan autograph on a 3.5" x 5.5" record store postcard, with photo of Stevie at the event. Stevie and the band, plus the T-Birds, attended the in-store appearance at Sam's Jams in Ferndale, Michigan, probably in February 1986. Signed "S.R.Vaughan c/s" in heavy black marker. See the FAQ for the explanation of "c/s". Rare to have a candid photo from the signing event. $750
Autograph - Interesting "To Steve" from Stevie Ray Vaughan. Pencil signature on the back of a message pad sheet. Obtained in '88 or '89 at President's health club in Dallas. (I have Stevie's membership form in my collection, so the story has merit.)  $750
Autograph - Joe Sia's (famous photographer who shot Jimi Hendrix) business card signed on back, "To Joe, Take Care! Stevie Ray Vaughan '90."  $750
Autograph - Paper signed "To Bobby. Best of All of Life! Stevie Ray Vaughan." Very cool inscription. $750
POSTERS
Most Important Concert of Stevie's career! The Montreux Jazz Festival in 1982 launched Stevie and Double Trouble on the international scene. Contacts he made there with David  Bowie and Jackson Browne led to studio work for Bowie's next record, massive publicity and free studio time to record Texas Flood. The original poster from 1982 is now very difficult to find and would probably fetch $300 or more on the market. This is an exact replica made by the Montreux Jazz organization several years ago. It is the same size, silk-screened on very heavy poster stock. It appears metallic inks were used because some of the colors are shiny as if they were painted on the paper. The only difference is the wording of the small credit in the bottom left corner. A truly collectible artwork poster. Approx. 28x39. Mint condition.  $150
Texas Flood type promo poster - This poster is also huge, approximately 48 x 36 !! It is almost identical to the first SRV promo poster for Texas Flood except that when they reprinted this poster in 1987 to use for tour promotion they added "AND DOUBLE TROUBLE" at the top of the poster, probably at Stevie's insistence that the band be acknowledged on the poster. It is in very good condition with minor edge wear and a 1/2" wrinkle mark repeating down the middle every few inches from having been slightly creased while rolled. (The other one I had is sold)

$200

Printer's Proof - In Step Color Separations - A set of nine (9) color separations on heavy stock for the In Step CD longbox and cassette artwork, including the printer's cover sheet. Impossibly rare and in my collection since 1993. There are two all-colors prints, one each of black ink, red ink, yellow ink, blue ink - I can't remember them all because they have been in storage for 17 years. Each sheet is approximately 34" x 22". I have one of the all-color sheets matted and framed, but it is too large to ship framed. If you live close you can pick it up framed, otherwise it will ship unframed. This is the ONLY set I have ever seen. $995
Arminski lithograph of SRV - Limited edition of 100 signed lithographs, approximately 22x30. For sale online at up to $250.  $150
Antone's 1982 Birthday Celebration - Reprint of one of the most sought after SRV posters, made and initialed by the artist in the early 2000s. The original was orange and sells for $500 and up if you can find one. 11x17 $40
Austin City Limits - Extremely rare promotional poster for the world famous TV show on which Stevie appeared twice. This is an anniversary poster from 1985 showing Stevie, Willie Nelson, Ray Charles, Roy Orbison and others in the clouds. This is the only one I've seen and has been in my collection since the early 1990s. 17x23 $40
SRV Run For Recovery - TWO posters, one for each of the memorial Run For Recovery benefiting the Ethel Daniels Foundation in Dallas. 11x17 and 13x17. Will include race application forms. Races were in 1994 and 1995. $10
Notodden Norway Blues Club - Very cool poster from the early 2000s with large picture of Stevie. 20x28 $25
2005 SRV Ride & Concert - A later printing which adds Tyler Bryant to the lineup listed for the poster above. 11x17 $35
2006 SRV Ride & Concert - featuring the late, great Jeff Healey. 11x17 $25

It is 24 minutes of video Stevie from Montruex, El Mocambo and Austin City Limits. The minimum pledge to get this DVD was $75. The only one I've seen on eBay went for about that much. I have two available $75
SRV Box Set with Best Buy Bonus Disc - 3CDs, 1 DVD plus rare CD single with "Sting's Swing" outtake from 1984, and "Drivin' South" live in Houston in 1983. The CD was released in 2000 with the early copies of the SRV box set, and these songs were exclusive to this promo disc and not included in the box set. The bonus discs have sold for up to $150 by themselves. Booklet is loose from box; a common occurrence and makes the booklet easier to read. $125
SRV Box Set - From 2000, the 3-CD + 1 DVD box set in near mint condition.  $40
Couldn't Stand the Weather LP - Still in the original shrink wrap (open) with the 2x3" sticker on the front proclaiming Stevie "The Guitar Player of the Year". Near mint condition. $20
SRV & Michael Jordan?? Yes. A Michael Jordan Fan Pak sold by Upper Deck in 1998 with a Chicago Bulls Greatest Hits CD featuring "The House is Rockin'" by SRV, a 3.5 x 5" Upper Deck MJ card and two MJ "coins." Still in the original packaging, but opened along one side to allow removal of the CD. $25
MTV Unplugged CD-ROM - I don't know how rare this is, but I haven't seen any in a long while. 1995 CD-ROM of Unplugged performances including Stevie (one song) and behind-the-scenes extras such as photos, bios, rare footage from 70 artists. Still in the original large box in the shrink wrap (open) and flyer advertising the MTV Unplugged book, instruction booklet and registration card. $45

RECORDS FROM STEVIE'S PERSONAL COLLECTION - These are 45rpm records from Stevie's record collection. These were among about a dozen albums and 45s from Stevie's collection that I obtained many years ago. I will include a statement of authenticity signed by Janna and myself.
 - King Floyd "Groove Me" / What Our Love Needs" on Chimneyville Records
 - Undercovers "Daddy's Cadillac" / "Blues Is No. 1" on Layin' Rubber Records Nov. '85
$500 ea.
Rare 1979 W.C. Clark single with Stevie and the Cobras. This was Stevie's second appearance on record, and it shows up in the marketplace the least of any SRV vinyl - even more rare than the 1971 album and Cobras picture sleeve single. Only 500 were pressed, likely making this the rarest of all SRV commercial releases. This one is in very nice condition. No obvious flaws in the vinyl. The lable has "Stevie Vaughan" because it was before he started using his full name. $195
OTHER
Pins -  1990s cloisonne (metal and enamel) pin made by the Estate of Stevie Ray Vaughan. Gold and white guitar with "Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble." These are the nicest SRV pins ever made. They were originally made in small quantity at the time Couldn't Stand the Weather was released in 1984. The Estate of SRV made another relatively small quantity around 1994. I recently bought out what I believe to be the last horde of these 15-year-old pins. One sold on eBay recently for $71, and the originals from 1984 (if you can find one) sell for up to $100. These pins are identical except for the texture on the back of the pin. It has a locking clasp on the back like jewelry, not one of those detachable round clasps you squeeze. This is not a cheap pin-back button but a high quality cloisonne pin. They are 1.5" long. 

$40

The First SRV T-shirt!  This is a rare survivor - believed to be the first SRV shirt sold to the public back in 1982. This shirt is in pretty good condition considering it has been washed many times. It is a size L, but you won't want to wear it - frame it like a poster! I think it's the coolest artwork ever on an SRV shirt. $95
Cars. These are limited edition cars made in 2000. These were licensed by the Estate of Stevie Ray Vaughan.Only 2500 were made of each of the big (1:24 scale) cars, 10,000 each of the small (1:64 scale) cars, except the '57 Chevy (20,000) and the Chevelle (unknown quantity). There are seven different cars. Click below to see closeup photos of six of them (the seventh is a small version of the big Chevy. The little blue & white car ('67 Chevelle SS) is very hard to find because it was a factory error and was never supposed to be released.

I have ONLY a complete collection of all seven for sale. No individual cars. Three Two sets available.

Business Card from Charley's Guitar Shop - the original location from the period 1983-85. $15

This was for a show scheduled September 7, 1990, in Switzerland and is printed in the German language. Large 3.25" x 8.125" unused ticket. It was glued in a scrapbook and is still attached to the paper. A very rare ticket for SRV ticket collectors. $85

FUTURE - Posters, Magazines, Etc.
I am considering selling my entire collection of SRV promotional posters and banners, as complete a collection as you will find. There are approximately 25 or so posters and banners, some are two-sided, one is an extremely rare box set promo poster which was only available in Dallas at one event and there were probably only ten made. I have not added up the value of this collection yet, but my initial estimate is $2,000. If you are interested in purchasing the entire collection, let me know and I'll work up a list and a price. These are the actual posters photographed for Stevie Ray Vaughan: Day by Day, Night After Night.
I am going to sell my personal collection of SRV magazines, newspaper articles and clippings. I collected these items from all over the world for almost 20 years. A few date into the 1960s, but most are from 1974 to 2009. This is almost certainly the most complete SRV research library in the world, used to create the newlsetters, website and books I have published. The standard-size magazines and clippings are organized into approximately 16 large notebooks, plus there are several boxes of newspapers and oversized magazines. For the items with Stevie on the cover, these are the actual magazines pictured in the books I have done. If you are interested in buying the entire collection, let me know and I'll figure out a price; it will probably be $2,500 or more. Please note that if we reach an agreement on this collection, it is probably going to be late-2010 before I will be ready to transfer it to you, as I am still using them for another project.
NOTE ABOUT THE ABOVE COLLECTIONS: The reason I mention these collections is that if I go to the trouble of photographing and listing hundreds of individual items, the price will probably be double what I'll offer the collection for because I'll want something for all the time and trouble of sending out hundreds of packages. Save me the time of doing that and I'll make you a good price on an entire collection.
