Iron Maiden - Powerslave - Back Patch 1984 (Mummy Version)

😱😱 Finally, after 3 months of waiting for the package to arrive, I get my hands on what is now my most special Iron Maiden back patch. We all know how rare the Stranger in a Strange Land back patch is, but this one is mega-rare and to even have it sealed makes it even juicier😜 Such an awesome Powerslave back patch, and next to Live after Death my all time favorite Eddie.
I cannot thank the good old BansheeBrent enough for choosing my collection to let this patch go to 🀘😫🀘

Wow! Killer patch, man! I never get tired of seeing vintage stuff still sealed. And the other Powerslave patches are pure gold!

Thanks mate! The Powerslave patches are so majestic, almost everybody loves them. But, this sealed one is a real gem 😁

I'd frame that fella, and have some UV resistant glass or plastic film covering (preferable on both sides.) Also, make sure the glass doesn't touch the patch and moisture can seep in and glue it on there.

If have too many patches which are worth framing that it is very difficult to pick which to frame πŸ˜… Although I love this artwork, and appreciate its rarity fully, I would have loved to have the art be full patch covering like these versions: https://tshirtslayer.com/patch/iron-maiden-back-patch-wst and https://tshirtslayer.com/patch/iron-maiden-world-slavery-vintage-back-patch Hopefully I can one day add one of these to my collection, and frame one of these.

What about designating an entire room to framed backpatches?

Hahaha! I would love that but I don't want my house to become a museum πŸ€ͺ I'm already happy I have a girlfriend who also thinks the vintage back patches are awesome and she is ok with having some in our house. It's just a matter of picking the right ones and having them framed ($$$). Once I've done it I will definitely post it here on TSS πŸ˜„

OH WOW, the one with lightning is FANTASTIC!

Yea I hate it when backpatch (or patches in general) skimp on imagery. I've seen some decently stitched backpatch boots that just had hardly any imagery at all; lol, I'm sorry what's my incentive to buy? As for official stuff, maybe that's how your tell the release versions apart, where version 1 has more artwork.

Outstanding! This marquee patch has put your collection into the stratosphere! This one is so rare I have never seen it elsewhere.
I will bet it was a nervous few weeks of waiting, but worth it!

Thanks buddy, and also thanks for your very kind words about my collection 😊 It indeed is a "marquee patch" 🀘😫🀘

Our friend, the Banshee, bought this on Ebay and he immediately contacted me about this gem. He was so excited about it, and like you, he never seen it before. Even without the packaging this would have been an outstanding piece. I'm so privileged that Brent gave me a first pick out of his collection.

The waiting was nerve wrecking to say the least. Brent sent everything right before the Covid-19 crisis so the package got stuck together with a package that contained the Stranger in a Strange Land + Sealed Eddie Crunch. Since it was not moving on the tracking and USPS did not provide further information we both got a bit nervous, especially knowing how much this was worth πŸ˜… Luckily, 'the cat landed on its feet' and I received everything. I still have many pieces to add to my collection, so the hunt continues....it never stops πŸ˜…

This one is so awesome! Such a pity the print is kind of small, would have looked way better if it would cover more of the material.
Nevertheless, this is an outstanding piece!

Thanks man! I agree with you on the size of the print. I guess you can't have everything 😜
