Who here collects Bootlegs?

[weasel]

Cheers for the info John. I knew they were hard to come by but not a lot more than that, apart from knowing about Headman, obviously!

As a matter of interest, do you kow the UK based collector? I assume you didn't name him as he wants to remain under the radar, but I was just curious as to whether he is known in certain circles or is just known to exist, as such.

Thanks for that insight John - sorry I didn't pay full attention to what Joe had written previously. There's no chance I'll ever be going down the road of hunting for any, even relatively rare carded bootlegs - but it's interesting to learn a little about them. Cheers

Yeah, he's a pretty good friend of mine. He's known in bootleg circles (Adam, Joe, Martijn, and some others know him) but not too much outside of there. He doesn't post to any of the boards. I'm not sure if he would mind me mentioning him but out of respect I didn't. He's a helll of a nice guy with one of the sickest collections of not only bootlegs but non-US carded also.

EDIT: Here are some old pics of his stuff http://community.webshots.com/user/emporerburns It's on webshots so it's not a big secret to share these.

Cheers John. Yeah, I deliberately didn't ask what the collectors name is as I assumed you hadn't named him for that reason. I can understand him wanting to stay under the radar, or at least not be seen to show off what he has. All the same that's one hell of an impressive collection! I wouldn't even want to TRY and guess how much it would cost to try and assemble something like that. 8)

That is an amazing collection Joe and I'm really pleased to say that I too have an item seen in your case - the SW curtain
