    Post 2000 shows that are unreleased/hoarded/uncirculated

    in 2013

    Posted

    I don't really know what qualifies for this list

    Anything that very few people have that can't be found anywhere on the internet.
    So than I have the full Arnhem show, anyone wants to have it? Than I will have to find a way to rip it from the DVDs and upload it somewhere...

    Trade it with another unreleased show before you release it

    Hmmm... That could be an idea... Against what should I trade and who do I contact?

    I hope Kimi wins, so they can celebrate together!

    Not a snowballs chance in hell. Vettel may win 2/3 of the races this year. I will be watching, and if he comes on, I will post a pic ASAP.

    BULLSHIT..

    Haha exactly!!

    Axl will probably be there next week in Sepang

    We know Axl loves Formula 1.

    Today and tomorrow GN'R will be playing shows in Melbourne.

    Tomorrow is the Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix in Melbourne, do you think Axl will be there or maybe one of the teams invited him?

    Anyone ever hear of someone talking their way to meeting Axl from the meet n greet area?

    At the M&G I was at, some girl asked if Axl was going to be there, and the girl who came to pick us up looked at her like, what do you think?

    AXL ROSE TO SIGN FIRST CERTIFIED AUTOGRAPHS FOR TOPPS

    in 2013

    By Chris Olds | Beckett Baseball Editor

    Welcome to the jungle.

    Topps announced the headliner in its forthcoming 2013 Topps Archives Heavy Metal Autographs set on Tuesday, and it's none other than Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose.

    It will be Rose's first fully licensed trading card appearance and his first certified autograph as he has nothing listed in the Beckett.com database. The singer was an icon of the late-1980s and early 1990s as his band's 1987 debut album, Appetite for Destruction, has sold more than 35 million copies worldwide while five other records sold more than 65 million copies total.

    The 10-card autograph set will be one of three additional insert sets to the previously announced 2013 Topps Archives release. There will be a standard version of the cards as well as one that will be limited to 25 copies and printed on metal.

    Among the metal signers? Motley Crue‘s Tommy Lee, Skid Row‘s Sebastian Bach and Twisted Sister's Dee Snider.

    Interest in the Rose autograph should be strong as PSA-authenticated autographs have strong asking prices and are not plentiful online.

    Along with the arrival of Archives, Topps is planning a two-week hobby shop promotion where a limited number of 25-cent packs will be made available. These will include a parallel card only found in these packs. In addition, a Father's Day promo will allow collectors to bring in a 1980s card and receive a free cello pack of 2013 Topps Series 2. Those packs will include parallels only found as part of this promotion along with randomly inserted autographs.

    Topps also will be doing a redemption program tied to Archives where one redemption card will be found in every hobby box good for a throwback single-card pack with a 1950s-1980s card inside.

    Here is the preliminary checklist for the Heavy Metal set as provided by Topps:

    Heavy Metal Autographs

    Sebastian Bach, Skid Row

    Tommy Lee, Motley Crue

    Kip Winger, Winger

    Reb Beach, Winger

    Lita Ford

    Bobbie Brown from Warrant’s Cherry Pie video

    Stephen Pearcy, Ratt

    Scott Ian, Anthrax

    Dee Snider, Twisted Sister

    Axl Rose, Guns N' Roses
