Synaesthesia Picks: Top 5 Collectibles of the Month

They say modesty is a virtue, but when you’ve got rare finds as cool as these, tooting your own horn feels more like a public service. 🎺 So, here I am, shamelessly parading 5 gems that any collector worth their weight in dust jackets should know about.

Don’t worry, this isn’t just a sales pitch (okay, maybe it is)—but it’s one you’ll thank me for later. Here’s this month’s 5ivers 📚

• Capture the haunting beauty of the overlooked with this striking gelatin silver print, echoing the raw, intimate style of Diane Arbus, where every shadow tells an interesting story.

• Unlock the boozy, bawdy, and bizarre history of the West with these Clampers ECV journals—because no one tells tall tales and history — or places low-ball bids on eBay — quite like a Clamper after a few rounds.
• Own a signed Joel-Peter Witkin Disciple & Master —because nothing says ‘conversation starter’ like beautifully grotesque art that makes you question your mortality (and maybe Witkin’s sanity).
• Signed promo photo of The Orchids to Kim Fowley—because even in the world of cancelled legends, rock ‘n’ roll history doesn’t erase its autographs (just don’t bring him up at dinner…and come to think of it, did anyone actually bring Kim to dinner while he was still alive?).
