Ok, I'm in the process of clearing out my old bedroom and while I have quite a respectable stash of Deftones memorabilia I'm not willing to part with (I spent lots of time and money obtaining these things back in the day), there is one item I would sell that I feel could be of interest to the hardcore fan.

The item is a party kit back from the Internet House Party, to launch White Pony. it basically consists of a large cardboard CD stand, White Pony branded. Lots of flyers, posters etc promoting the album launch, White Pony balloons and 'party invitations'. I believe you could order them through the bands official site leading up to June 20th 2000. Or they were sent out at random, I dunno. I bought it several years ago from a seller in the US. I don't have pics right now but I'll take some very soon. Maybe some of you guys would have seen one of these before.

Either way, I assure you they're very hard to come by these days. Would anyone potentially be interested?

I'm back at my Mums today to clear through some more stuff. I'll take some proper pics today and post them later guys.

NICE! I think I got something similar... or maybe it was a Street Team package? Either way it had a bunch of random shit for White Pony like stickers, balloons, dog tags, and thick paper stock posters. Trying to think if there's anything else. Nothing had the release date on it, just White Pony imagery.

That's pretty much everything I would include. Either way, I'd stick it on eBay to keep everything legit. I just didn't know how much interest there would be to be honest. Interest for Deftones memorabilia seems to have dropped off over the years. There's nothing like the amount of good stuff on eBay and stuff nowadays.

seriously, there's interest. deftones vinyls and rare items fly off ebay. they lull for a while but 10 minutes before auction ends it always goes crazy. i'd be very interested in this if my finances weren't so tied up right now. but know, i would jump all over this and i'm sure many people here would too. i'm looking at sly, he'll eat this up.

Throw it on eBay for sure. The balloons, stickers and those 3 panel White Pony in store flats show up from time to time but this whole set never does. Pretty sure you will get a fair amount for all this.

I own some of these balloons already ;-)

Mmmm It's cool but still, what to do with all this stuff. I keep it to collecting 'audio-carriers'.

I'll list it soon then. I have no idea what I'd value it at. With things like this it's a case of what people are willing to spend on it I guess. I spent a huge amount on Deftones memorabilia a long time ago but the same kinda stuff doesn't seem to pop up much anymore.

The whole thing folds down into different parts. It's a cardboard shipper, essentially. Naturally, for a 12 year old cardboard structure, it shows signs of wear.. Bends in places, weaker points etc. It's something for the more hardcore collector Id say.

I'll let you guys know when I list it anyway. I'll probably start the bidding pretty low and see where it goes.
