Very interesting coincidence for me - I was at the 2018 Red Rocks show that was two days before this one, AND was at the show in Denver featured on Vol. 2.

Going by this logic, I predict Vol. 4 will feature a summer 2013 TWFM show 🙃

Which is why it should have been limited to one copy. This membership should not be your lifeline to a second income flipping records. Seems like lots of Cherry Tree subscribers missed out on this.

I guarantee even with 1 copy per person, people would be flipping these. It'll be interesting to see what these sell for but with a black version also coming out, I don't know that these flippers will get these kinds of prices for em.

Looking like my records are arriving on saturday if USPS happens to be right in their tracking...
 
It's probably a thankless position to be in as a band/merch company. Limiting orders to 1 stops some flippers but I imagine there are people who do actual group/gift orders who would email them asking why they can't compromise and set a limit at 2-3, etc.

There's also the uncomfortable reality that flippers are part of the ecosystem that creates FOMO and boosts sales. Even a band as large and collectable as the National can get stuck with dead stock of a limited variant if the illusion of scarcity is removed (it looks like their IATEF Cherry Tree variant hung around too long and cooled off hard and is still available today or at least it was available recently).

Some, but not as many. Like I said I still think my biggest issue with this whole thing is that they gave no pressing info on these colored versions and made no mention of them being limited. They let people know pressing info with High Violet 10th Anniversary CT Exclusive , it shouldn't have been that hard to do that with these. The yearly records are great, but the people running the club leave a lot to be desired.

Yes but with I am Hard to find there were mutiple colored variants, same with High Violet 10th Anniversary. Cherry Tree, SSFDL, S/T were all out of print and only had a very limited colored pressing in 2010,
