Huge Third Man Auction!

Post by shaneoftheroad »

Whoa! For anyone who has ever wanted a piece of Third Man history, I think you'll find something in this auction. I know there are a few items I wouldn't mind having. Crazy.
Third Man Records is proud to disperse pieces of its history into the world via an online garage sale/auction featuring guitars, amplifiers, personal items, notes, stage equipment, and other one-of-a-kind items from the label's archives and owner Jack White's musical career and collection.

All items come directly from Third Man Records and have a Certificate of Authenticity .

A portion of proceeds will go to benefit John Peel Centre for Creative Arts, Gideon's Army, and the Detroit Phoenix Center.

So, if money wasn't an issue, what would be the item you'd want most? I've gotta go with the "Hardest Button to Button" drum kit. Though, of course, the Triple Jet is a goddamn Siren.

Interesting background on this one that TMR can't seem to remember. Kamen (TMR Collectors FB group) shipped this lovely thing to Jack with love from Russia 10 years ago. He's okay with it going up for auction but the description left something to be desired...

Yeah, I am interested to see what some of these items will go for. I have a few smaller items in mind that I hope to have a fighting chance at.

I was reading the thread on the facebook group this morning. I would be pretty bummed about this if I were him. It's surprising that they would have kept a gift this long though. I'm sure most things are tossed out of given away. I am friends with The Glorious Sons in Canada and they are now (Pre-COVID) doing arena tours across the country and it's crazy the amount of gifts and weird shit they get every night. They had to request people to stop because they just didn't have the room on the bus and trailer for everything.

Off the top of my head, the triple jet was $27.5k. That was when I realized everything would be out of my range

Was anyone here able to afford anything? Even the things I figured I might have a shot at, went for way more than expected. Even the Neil Young auction a few years ago wasn't this crazy..
