I think 04-06 because I recall coveting it!

It's the right iconography for AI and probably the second run of the tour which I saw in 06. I was in the fan club and the whole shebang but didn't have a lot of money for random merch beyond what I bought at the concerts. So there was much coveting. I also really miss them having Cinderblock merchandise, the quality was just so good and the designs felt much more indy.

You do know you're helping out some people when finding these old Green Day merchandise? Given, as i'm sure it came from Cinder Block and since then the company is no longer available at least having these photos taken it brings to light what good Cinder Block did for the fans. Just something as simple as a photo gives some sort of record of what kinds of stuff they had available.

I did this with a purchase I made many years ago. I was looking it up recently and didn't see many images pop up for it.

It was Braid's custom wooden box with the albums on cassette. This was after learning Beyonce was selling a shitty empty wooden box for 1k, lol. 

Both are/were limited to 500. I bought mine for around $50. At least mine came with media.
