Featured eBay Item: Original Nimrod Press Kit

Nimrod Press Kit from 1997
The first Featured eBay Item is an original press kit given out to promote 1997's Nimrod. Some may be wondering what a press kit is, exactly. In the simplest of terms, it's a kind of band resume or portfolio, given to press and executives as a way to formally introduce a new release. This particular press kit contains information about Nimrod. Included is a hardcover, bound info-book, with band bios and other things inside. The kit also contains a window display, and a card with a few major promotional dates, such as appearances on late night TV shows.
Overall, this is a really cool item, due to its rarity. A relatively limited number of these were ever given out, as they were not available to the public. With a starting bid of only $35, the seller has actually been pretty reasonable with the price. At the time of this post, the auction had a little over six days' time remaining. If you're interested, give it a bid!
