The first band I ever saw live was Tesla in 1987, supporting Def Leppard. The bass player and guitarist threw down some plecs at the end of the gig and I caught them. It was so exciting to get the picks they used! I’ve been collecting ever since, I go to a lot of gigs – and I’m always up the front! All images are copyrighted and cannot be used without permission.

We’re you in the crowd most of times or do you work on backstage (or something like that)?
I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and also have a small 27 collection. #CrowdStyle
Thank you Vagner! Glad you like the site. I’ve never worked backstage, just always in the front row of gigs and I’ve been lucky in meeting a few of my heroes. Would love to see your collection! Cheers, Ger
Nice collection!!! I have a few of my own too.
Awesome Fernando! They’re such a cool thing to collect 🙂
trade or sell
Always happy to trade Sander. Send on a list 🙂
Hi could you send me a tradelist? I have a bunch for trade.
Just found this by accident searching for a certain pick which I thought I’d never find but guess what you have it!! I”m up in Belfast and lost a pick I got at the same gig. Not sure if you’d part hopefully it doesn’t mean as much to you as it will me!! Is there a best way to contact you or give you my email? Hope you’re still here and active ; )
I’m intrigued. Which one?
