Major Cooper Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 No offence but I wouldn't say "lucky". They do pop up on eBay every once in a while. All you have to do is save your $ and be the highest bidder. It's not like he found his copies in a Willy Wonka, Scrumdidlyumptious bar. It is a safety ep.... not a golden ticket. True. It's not a golden ticket. Because willy wonka and golden tickets do not exists. A Safety ep, on the other hand, does. LOL!!! Just messing with you No1CPfan! He is absolutely right...! Basically, majority of the "Luck" originates from ebay. Not a secret at all =) Collecting involves patience, strategy, and knowledge on what and how to find the right stuff. Just like NoCPfan's massive collection...! There's some logic behind the madness in there with all the stickers and logos and everything. When all the Stars Align, that's a Lucky Break. We are all Lucky with our own personal collection. People bid on ebay... From all around the world and all walks of life. Now, when you win... You become the owner of that item. It doesn't matter if it is a Safety Ep or a Promo CD worth $10... You are still Lucky being the owner of it =) An item can pop up in ebay every single day... But winning the best ones out there, doesn't happen every single day... Kudos to you No1CPfan...!!! Good catch with those new "God Put A Smile Upon Your Face" cds... They definitely are rarities!!! Kudos to all of us Collectors...!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No1CPfan Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Thanks! But I still don't believe "luck" has anything to do with any part of our collection. What it comes down to is spending a lot of time searching and having the money to lock in the highest bid. I know you may feel lucky when you win an auction for a super rare CD but think about it. Finding a rare Coldplay CD on a park bench sitting all alone needing a home.... That's luck. Sitting up all night watching an auction. Dropping a bomb at the last second and winning that same CD. That's work... not luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Cooper Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Of course :) you're so lucky to own them! You think so? Thanks, "The Master"...! I do feel lucky... Only 500 copies worldwide... And signed too...! The signature in one of them, especially signed during the era prior to their global success, is definitely a piece of history that cannot be replicated in a snap. But I do feel lucky owning my first parachutes album too...! I guess "Lucky" really is subjective. It all depends in the eye of the beholder. In this case, we are both on the same page. I do feel lucky, my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No1CPfan Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I guess luck would be that same auction for that same rare Coldplay CD... A person who has little money and places a small bid. A person who has a lot of money let's say his internet provider's server takes a dump and boot's him off line before he can drop his "bomb" and the little guy wins. That's "luck" I guess.

No1CPfan Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Not my best CDs of my collection but one of my favs. would be "The Fir Trees" CD a very rare special piece of Coldplay history. Am I lucky to have it? I say no. It sat there for sale for weeks before I did the research and picked it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a method to any form of madness. When the method works, driven by any motive or desire... Fell lucky. Your work made you a winner. All Subjective... No one is purely right...

No1CPfan Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I'm not saying anyone is "wrong". I just want that person who said "You're lucky" to understand that if he wants a copy of the "Safety ep" he can have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No1CPfan Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I guess also it's the fact that I know that anyone with a collection of any size would agree that if they had to put time, effort and money into it, it's not luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No1CPfan Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 It's all good... as long as you're happy with what you have. If we weren't we wouldn't be on this thread showing it off :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No1CPfan Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Has anyone heard "Magic" on the radio? I was listening to it and this version sounded so good. It had a lot of snare drum in it. It had a back ground type of sound that was different. It was all around awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Master... Our subjectivity is aligned... Yours and mine... We have to respect No1CPfan for his opinion too... It is really cool to own the item... Thank you for sharing the happiness with me...! To all coldplayers... Lesson of the day from The Major... "It's all Subjective..." Copyright that... BOOM!!!

No1CPfan has been a resource for me to make sure some of the items I'm bidding on is authentic. He is a legitimate Collector, man...! He has a wealth of knowledge on this.

No1CPfan Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 The Master- What I was trying to say... That copy of safety was posted for sale at auction. You or I could have purchased it. All you would have had to do is type in a number bigger than his.... That's not luck. If Jonny sent it directly to him out of the blue... That's luck.

No1CPfan Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I think we should start a Coldplay Convention. Where we collectors can come and buy, sell and trade items or just look and see what's out there. I vote Phoenix be the first location! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
