That is a lot of shirts. Wow. I have around 200 shirts. Slayer I have the most of, 15. Goatwhore 14. Crowbar. 10. Lots of festival shirts. California Deathfest, Monsters of Rock, Wacken Open Air, Psycho Las Vegas, Mayhem Festival, Las Vegas Deathfest, Denver Black Sky, Brutal Assault Fest are my favorites. I miss the tour programs from bands. I have a bunch from the 80’s.

What merch do you collect the most of?
- Used to be shirts and CDs I guess, but nowadays it's patches.
What merch do you collect the least of but still isn’t a small collection?
- Cassette tapes probably? I don't actively buy them anymore, but dumb kids have some sort of fad of it being a cool format (IT IS NOT, cassettes suck, they're impractical and break easily, tape gets stuck, stretches out etc... worst format! I used them more than enough back in 80's and 90's to be sick of them for life) so occasionally I kind of have to get them. I have several boxes from the old days.
What merch do you not collect but would collect if you had the a lot of money?
- Probably vinyl boxes? I do have some, but I don't buy them that regularly. Also, I don't even have a vinyl player.
What is something you have no interest in collecting?
- Well, skateboards definitely (hi, PPtP!), I've never skated nor have any interest in it. That's first that comes to mind. And in a way tapes, as mentioned.
What’s your most wanted piece of Merch?
- Just one? Probably either of the 90's Martyrium shirts.Or some of the Woods of Infinity shirts. Or... see, I can't properly answer this for my life. Oh, now I know, the Algaion shirt for Oimai Algaiou.
What is your most valuable piece of merch?
- Probably one of the old vinyls, or the 90's shirts. I don't know for sure. By Discogs median price, Summoning "Sounds of Middle-Earth" box.
What is your favorite bootleg merch?
- The XIII. Století "Elizabeth" patch I had made probably.
What is the most ridiculous piece of merch you own?
- Deadly Funeral logo bucket. No, really. I received one as thanks from the artists after sharing their demo and a translation of their Facebook story in my blog in 2017.
What same piece of merch do you have multiple copies of?
- You mean copies of the exact same item? Some CDs and tapes, and a few patches; Iron Maiden gold border by Whispers of Death, leather Atlantean Kodex and Black Funeral old logo in red. I think everything else is different borders or versions. Tapes and CDs I'd need to check, but at least Mightiest/Depressive Silence split tape (copies 240, 241 & 243 - I had 5 copies, 242 and... whatever the fifth was have been traded ages ago), Witches' Sabbath - The Beginning of a New Age demo '98 and Astray - Until I'm Cold Enough CDEP '99.
What’s your favorite merch you bought at a concert?
- Hard question, of the ones I STILL HAVE it has to be one of the shirts or hoodies. I'll go with Denial of God Finnish mini-tour hoodie.
What is the most amount of money have you spent on a single piece of merch and what was it? (If you don’t wish to share the amount then just tell just tell us the item)
- One of the boxed sets was probably the most expensive singular item, but I don't remember that accurately the prices of each.
What merch do you regret buying and why?
- Cool Mysticum hoodie from Inferno. I promptly forgot it in a portable toilet (it was too warm to actually wear it properly) in Steelfest the same year - that's like two months later. I wish I had bought instead the Urfaust shirt I was looking at, I probably wouldn't have lost it like that! :D

The merch I collect the most of is ether patches or cds. I collect a lot of both and have lots of fun collecting.
Merch I would collect if I had a lot of money would probably be more vinyl or vintage shirts and patches. All of those I want to collect or collect more of but they aren’t cheap and I just don’t have that money.
Most wanted piece of merch is hard but probably a vintage Metallica ride the lighting back patch. I’ve seen so many and there so cool but so expensive.
Favorite piece of merch at a concert is really hard but probably my dethklok shirt or one of my Metallica concert shirts.

Seem like a fun thing to answer
I collect merch from local bands because nobody will other wise everyone is this big band this this big band that and although I agree it's cool and I don't mind it support your local scene support it until your rotting in the ground with your favorite band t shirt I have been collecting for one year since my first concert that was called wretched fest in October .
Most wanted was always a type o negative hospital gown I have huge respect for doctors and type o negative and I tough that's both a great pice of merch that would connect me both to the band and my grandpa.
Favorite merch would probably be my Vokyl and Dark Throne t shirt this 2 started my collection and one got me in trouble but I don't mind it.
The smallest collection I have by far is Mcr merch and Movie related stuff also none usable stuff by a lot of people like lighters,wine cups and keychains
I personally have no interest in collecting necklaces and rings of band's since Im not huge on jewelry even tough I have some necklace pendant but I just don't really wear them anymore and I think I might even sell them for less than I originally bought them for
The most redicolous merch I own is a wine cup and a pair of still intact ear plugs from a free grind concert
I don't have to many copies of merch I own only 2 copies of my Vokyl t shirt that is from a concert with a faded back and a new t shirt never worn before
My favorite show merch that I bought has to be a the wine cup and my bring me the horizon t shirt I will see if something better pop's up sooner or later in my life
I think the only Item I regret buying is a five finger death shirt I will either sell this shit or burn it down to the ground like Varg did with those churches
And the most amount of money by far has been for my blind guardian t shirt that was 100 leva or 50euro other wise the second one is either my suicidal tendencies t shirt or the bring me the horizon one btw the money went to this kitty cat because I love cat's more than I love sweet things and trust me I love sweet things a lot
The most merch I collect from is t shirts and cds

Not really a regret, but my first pitfall into bootleg merch was a knockoff Tool "Medicine Twins" short sleeve with the alternate "Single Twin" back print. In hindsight, I wish I'd kept it, but I was so bummed at the time, that I think I just donated it.
