This vintage 4 1/2" tall laminated crew pass was for the MTV Shady National Convention.  This was a mock-convention in honor of the debut of Eminem's satellite radio station, Shade 45 held on November 13, 2004.  Carson Daly and Vanessa Lachey hosted the event, and Donald Trump endorsed/introduced Eminem as part of the show.  Some of the other members of the sketches were 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, Ludacris, Snoop Dogg, P. Diddy, the members of D12, and many more.

Click the picture to see a larger more detailed image. Vintage cardboard package has an image of the novelty salt and pepper shakers. The box says "Salt and Pepper Candelabra" "Made in Hong Kong". They are from the 1960s. The candelabra itself is 6" tall and all plastic. One candle is marked "S" and the other "P". You just twist the top off to fill them. They still work. It looks like the black paint dripped in some small spots it shouldn't have, but oddly, it adds to the spooky effect. These are so bad they are good. They have an Adams family Gothic look and vibe to them. Great Halloween item. This is a very recent find. They are in excellent unused condition.

  
These Grateful Dead stickers/decals are old tour merchandise. I found them wrapped in plastic in boxes in master cases. They came from a distributor who sold them to tour vendors. The condition is pristine and they still will work as a car decal or window/mirror sticker. We found them packed away in storage boxes dated 1992 (many are older than that) and 1995 (year Jerry Garcia died). They are high quality artist renderings of Grateful Dead themes. Back in the day, the Dead did not monitor copyrights and that sort of thing, and in fact, at one point encouraged artists to do designs. The LA times explained it well “The Grateful Dead was famously lax in enforcing it’s intellectual property rights and trademarks, allowing fans to create their own designs using the band’s expansive iconography”. Since there was no serious monitoring or much concern back then, a lot of up and coming artists got involved in designing them. This is how some of them got their starts. Some of the sticker artists who designed these stickers went on to produce official licensed works for the Grateful Dead and other famous groups. These stickers include some by now famous designers including David Opie, and others. These 1995 and older stickers are very hard to find anymore.
