It's a metal Yield sign with Pearl Jam printed on the front.

I'm pretty sure I want to sell this thing on eBay. What do you imagine it is worth?

I wish I wasn't broke right now, I'd offer to buy it.

This thing has to be worth some mad coin but Google isn't being very helpful at the moment.

Each side is about 12 inches? I don't think the mini is worth all that much, I'd guess $40 or so.

If it's full size, then you might see $$$.

My brother has the No Code cube that was used for the album promotion, i'll try to take pics of it one time.

I have a mini yield PJ sign. It's kinda shit.
I have the no code cube, too. Think i have cubes from a couple of PJ albums. They were really in vogue for a while in Australia as record company promo items to use in record stores as advertising tools. The cubes are like a big cardboard poster with folds. You fold along the folds and tuck in the little tags, and it makes a cube with artwork on all sides. Most record stores hung them from the ceiling, so you could see all sides. I think i may have a yield one. I've definitley got a no code one. All folded up gathering dust in storage in Oz...

That's almost it. Mine has PEARL JAM printed on a slightly different angle and doesn't have that weird tyre track in front of the P.

And I don't think this one is the small one, I'd say it is at least two feet on each side.

this one is 26" on each side. maybe they printed some of them differently? since there were probably very few of them distributed, that may be the case.

i always wanted to nab a yield sign off the street when i was in college, but i always thought it could lead to a horrible accident, so i never did it.

Shit. I can make one of those!

You have 30 minutes to remove your cube.

I've got one of those. Whenever I see it on eBay, I monitor the auction to see what they go for. And they don't go for much. People are just not aware of this item as being "official." I know for a fact that they are. And who really gives a shit if they're official or not? It's a great piece to own and display.

At worst, it might cause a little fender bender.

I agree, sorry to break your goldrush dreams but it is not worth much. Maybe you can pay for a used text book with it nothing more.

The only yield sign I would buy would be the actual street sign that was handed to Eddie Vedder at the 9/19/98 Washington D.C. show which he then signed and returned to the audience member. Now that has to be worth some cash.
