I'm just stating a fact.

At this point, he's probably tricked his brain into a level of certainty that he actually did, though....

And I'm just telling you what is on the award, Pete. Don't get testy with me.

Rare!!! Award to Pearl Jam presented to the drummer at the time, Dave Abbruzzese, CERTIFIED (RIAA) Diamond award in recognition of 12 million in sales of his work on debut album Ten.

What work did he do on Ten?

I'm guessing they had this trophy made up at the time and didn't realize they had the wrong guy. So it sat in a closet until some dude found it and thought he could get some cash for it. I just messaged him and offered him 10 bucks plus shipping for it explaining to him what we are talking about here.

That was a serious post, btw.

Well the diamond is real anyways.

Let us know if you get a response

I don't remotely know how these things work but it wouldn't surprise me if the award was legitimate, I can easily imagine a scenario where they just make up an award for each member of the band without giving it further thought. They probably won plenty of these kind of things for Ten, I doubt they were mailing them to Dave Krusen every time.

That was my thought too. I sure hope the guy takes me up on my ten dollar offer, though. That would be sweet in my Pearl Jam room/walk-in closet.

I don't know if that matters. There are a lot of Ten-Vitalogy remasters out there signed by Matt Cameron.

Well this one would be from 2003 as this is when it was certified 12x platinum. What's also suspicious is that they would qualify for this thing already in 1999 when they started giving the diamond awards out.

It's an odd mistake to make.

I'd need to see a pic of a band member holding that trophy, or their version of it. Who's to say this dude just didn't go to a nice trophy store and had a top-dollar engraving job done on this.

Apparently the millennial "Everyone gets a trophy" problem started with Dave A

If nothing else, at least Dave A holds the record for "Oldest Soul Patch"

even as an ugly teenage werewolf, i can honestly say that dude's facial hair is gross
