I'm surprised you would keep this Vaughn in your collection, you spent over $100 for it if I remember and it would instantly leave my collection. I bought one about 15-16 years ago for $1 and I felt like I paid too much, luckily I traded it away fast. Don't say you get everthing cheap, you paid waaay too much for this one.

And what's the reason? Because there's no info to find on this one just sellers offering 499 $ copies labeling it US Metal!

Still compared to the prices I've seen on Popsike I got it pretty cheap!

Anyone into shirts?

Shirts are one of my fetishes. I've posted some before but no one cared. So here are some more for no one to care about. I still love them

Those old shirts are very expensive nowadays. I've seen an auction once for a totally worn and damage 100 years old looking Kreator shirt that went for 80 E!

So that Blessed Death shirt is a real rarity! I've had more than 15 Metallica shirts and traded most in the 90's against records (like the Graven Image Pic). When I remember they actual prices for these shirts I could bit my ass!

But still I've tons of shirts, most are very limited (5-15 copies) from bands that we've been friends with or other underground troops with only 50 copies printed.

If they are not hand numbered,they are worthless.

Do people that collect shifts actually wear them? I know that if I paid $80+ for a shirt I would be afraid to wash the damn thing.

Nah, I've shirts that are more than 20 years old and are in pretty great shape. When you've tons of shirts you can change it every day, with only 1 shirt this isn't possible and it looks crappy after 2 months.

The Jag Panzer EP's back is a strange clear coloured vinyl.

So it's just stamp collecting then.

I've an old Decomposed Longsleeve from the first MLP too but this one looks terrible now.
