Iron Maiden - Post-2000 Back Patch Collection

I thought it was a good idea to upload my entire 'post-2000' Maiden back patch collection in one go. Some of the items here have their own entries but who cares 🤘😅🤘 The upload is in chronological order. I still miss the A Matter of Life and Death (AMOLAD) front cover (2011) and the AMOLAD logo (2007) versions, but in terms of 'artwork' out there, this is it till now.
Despite being 'modern' some of the back patches here are quite hard to find, such as AMOLAD (Front cover), Fear of the Dark Live, Dance of Death, Final Frontier (Front cover Eddie), Somewhere Back in Time and Flight 666. These are the modern, future, rarities 🤘😄🤘

Astonishing collection as always, some of these 2011 BPs are ridiculousy rare for reasons unknown (how is it that vintage deadstock is easier to acquire that those?? Hahah) but of course the HMC knows how to lure even the most difficullt patch out of hiding \m/

Thanks mate 🤘😄🤘

The reasons are indeed unknown but we can always speculate 😉 My guess is that the classic designs from the 80's are the most desirable, so more of those are printed. The majority of 80's artwork of Maiden is absolutely iconic, and are also my personal favorites. I'm not saying the modern records are bad, but I think that in most peoples eyes the Dance of Death artwork doesn't stand a chance against the Trooper or Killers 🤣

As of late the rarities are doing a great job in hiding 😅 Everyday I'm searching so one day I'll be lucky 🤞I'm only two vintage licensed BP's away from completing my vintage licensed BP collection (not including color versions). Also some vintage bootlegs are crazy rare and require a lot of patience 😵
