No, though my remoteness partially contributes.
Mostly it's that I can no longer justify buying posters just for the sake of having them (I have several posters from the 2006-9 gigs too, still in tubes, not being displayed at all). Doesn't really matter how badly I covet them (and believe me, I am so very much coveting that RS&tL poster).
I share your pain. It's that knowledge that you have too much stuff, all treasured in its way but now hidden away... posters, ticket stubs, badges, promotional stuff. And that cupboard stuffed with all the T-shirts that seem mysteriously to have shrunk of their own accord...
Good luck with the auction, suss. Hope your stuff does find a home with a fan who is able truly to treasure it.
