Just wondering what other vintage hunters have as their most prized possession. Mine hasn't arrived but it's probably an Overkill Under the Influence Chaly patch.

My black and white Anthrax shorts. Looking for the yellow pair.
Too many to list, but here are some off the top of my head:
-Necrophagia - Season of the Dead promo poster (signed by the band, including the now deceased, Killjoy)
-Death / DBC - Screaming in your Brain Tour 1988 promo poster (also, most of my Death promo posters)
-Necrophobic - The Call (7” with poster)
-Megadeth - Killing is my Business (LP/gatefold with poster)
-Immolation - Dawn of Possession Tour promo poster
-Megadeth - Birth of Vic - blacklight poster (as well as many of my others, especially the French ones)
-NWOBH-era patches
-Mercyful Fate - Don’t Break the Oath back patches
-Nihilist - OG demo shirt
-Slayer - Hell Awaits Tour shirt
-Voivod - To the Death tour poster (signed by the entire band)
-Celtic Frost/Voivod/Running Wild - Prepare for the Blitz -1986 North American Tour poster
-Laaz Rockit - Know Your Enemy promo poster signed by the whole band
-Dark Angel - Leave Scars Tour shirt
-old Rage shirts
-Rage - Extended Power promo poster
-Kreator - Metalmania - Live in Poland 1988 (signed by Mille and Ventor)
-Bolt Thrower - Realm of Chaos and Warmaster Posters
-Blind Guardian - Battalions of Fear promo poster (signed)
Black Sabbath - Heaven and hell purple border vintage stripe
Wintersun - Time official patch
Iced Earth - Something Wicked Comes official patch
Emperor - as the shadows rise red border bootleg woven patch
Iron Maiden - the X Factor vintage patch
Blaze Bayley - the tour that would not die official patch
Dissection - storm of the lights bane shaped patch official (pull the plug patches)
Dio - Both Dream Evil vintage back patches
Metallica - creeping death vintage mini strip patch
That was the hardest one to find man out of everything I have pretty much lol
what’s crazy is when Time came out in 2012 it was a really common one to order online and at their shows but now it seems like one of the hardest to find
Like most of you, too much to know what's the one single piece to answer the question (and I've got tons of rare stuff that's not necessarily valuable as the artist isn't well collected!) However...
- Hrossharsgrani "Uruk Hai" demo tape (I had 2, sold one on Discogs for £400)
- Uruk-Hai and Hrossharsgrani original artwork, armour and swords used on albums and for promotional photos
- Goodness how many one-off and limited to 5 or under tape and CD from Uruk-Hai!
- Original Duncan Storr artwork for Skyclad albums and singles (tend to start at £1000 per piece)
- Sabbat 'Fragments Of A Faih Forgotten' original demo tape (3 copies - Red, Green, Yellow)
- Sabbat 'Dreamweaver' long-box CD (sealed) - I've yet to see another
- Skyclad signed 'Vintage Whine' vinyl
- Skyclad 'A Clown Of Thorns' vintage shirt
Possibly some of the black metal demo tapes in my collection, but I can't assess if their rarity is coupled with significant demand to make them truly valuable. So I'll pick some of my vintage original patches:
> Venom - Black Metal (Red Border)
> Slayer - Slaytanic Wehrmacht (Green Border)
> Black Sabbath - Headless Cross (Green Border)
> Black Sabbath - Cross Logo (Purple Border)
> Manowar - Triumph of Steel 1992 (Misweave: wrong colourpalette)
All of them basically impossible to find, some I have never seen another copy of.
Band owned / concert worn items from John L Hebert when he played drums for the Mercyful Fate / King Diamond double headliner tours in '98
Of those items, his Dead Again Itinerary with instructions on how to post bail and get Hank Shermann out of jail, practice notes from King while learning MF songs and King Diamond's personal phone number when John stayed at Kings house.
My test pressing of Melissa is dear to my heart too, but the one of a kind stuff is my favorite.
Rigor Mortis (US) - orig.Firstpress LP
Malevolent Creation - The ten commitments - orig.Tour Sweater
Immortal - Sons of nothern darkness - MetalBox (?) no idea how rare...but rare i guess...

Bathory - Under The Sign Of The Black Mark sweatshirt old Hungarian press. Lots of vinyl: Bathory first LP, swedish press The return US press. Sacred Reich - surfing nicaragua signed by all member. Possessed - Seven Churches signed by Jeff Beccera, Glacier-EP, CPG - hungarian punk record signed by all member, Tormentor - Anno Domini first press Nocturnal Art Prod. 1995 signed by all member, Pantera - far Beyond Driven CD - signed by all member, Slayer - South Of Heavyen LP signed by Dave Lombardo
I guess I'd say some of the following:

Eternal Champion - Armor of Ire red 1st press LP
Quartz embroidered patch from 1980
Motörhead Another Perfect Day patch
Motörhead purple and green snaggletooth circle patch

Nothing as extravagant as most folks, but these are either a pain to find or command a high price when up for sale.
Lovely list mate! 💪 The Motörhead - Another Perfect Day and Purple/Green Snaggletooth are lethal man 🔥🔥🔥🤘🥵🔥🔥🔥 Those are definitely in my Patch Extravaganza book 😁
I have the entire Leprosy lineup's autographs as well as 1 of 50 Hellwitch demo shirts from 1986. Also my Selena autograph, not metal but still really cool!
Craft sigil pin
Craft total eclipse tape

Sinmara pins and couple of katharsis tapes which are official Sombre records releases.
It’s more sentimental value. I have a 1985 Dio shirt and Dio tour program and Yngwie Malmsteen shirt also. This concert I saw was with my younger brothers Lee and Michael and my sister Lucy. It was the only concert we all went together with. My brothers would pass away later. I miss them very much.

Hehe, they will come my friend, no worries! I try to upload everything at some point. :)
