Thanks.
Just wait until I post a picture of my shrine.
And all my pictures of Davey.
…you know, not that it’s getting to a point that I’m beginning to feel my fanaticism is becoming pathological or getting out of hand or anything like that…

I’ve seen those 3 pop up on eBay from time to time. There was an Argentinian one a little while back.
I’m also missing the dead bird. Think I’ve got 9 or 10 copies of STS. Every one is the formanifer

My standard (red) copy of Sing the Sorrow is the foraminifer as well, but my copy of Clandestine was the dead crow. I have the black on black and just acquired the silver on black as well but those I’m keeping sealed.

Omg I suck so hard at technology.
Edit:
Okay because I’m a complete retard I’m trying this again, with screencaps, because I still photograph in portait in 2018 and apparently this forum freaks out and flips them sideways anyway when I tried to post them.
I wasn’t lying when I said it’s almost a shrine.
Posters I haven’t gotten around to framing yet.
And this
I’ll be the first to admit I’ve had like the biggest mancrush on Davey for the last 20 years.
Ah, you’re still my main man, Dave…
And just because…
Oh yeah and if you were wondering - yes that’s a blanket under all my AFI stuff. I couldn’t put everything directly on the floor even though I had just vacuumed lol. God forbid a speck of dust gets on something. 
Also I had quite a scare trying to find my silver Sing the Sorrow. I recently got it and I had left it in the bubble mailer. I thought I had maybe thrown it out by accident.

Thanks! It’s not as impressive as some people’s here and obviously I’m missing some things (especially vinyl) but I love what I have and wouldn’t part with any of it for the world.
That’s Awesome! Love it!! 
Any story on how you found the test pressings? I’m always curious on how you, @4ibanez, @insectpins @Slinch find these rare gems. So awesome Bro!

Again super happy for you to get them. Gonna be a buzzkill now though (or hopefully assist)!.. you seem to be missing a version of BTT. There are 3 versions of the normal pressing: 1st press (/400) transparent against the light, black, 2nd press opaque black (/100), 3rd version is part of the 1st press (20ish I think) with the different insert and photocopied sleeve - it isn’t remarkably different to the eye, but the insert is the giveaway. I don’t have the regular black Atom Age pressings. Assume if I placed an order now I’d receive the black pressings?
As for mine, I bought the Key Lime Pie ones from Sistinas and Bombing the Bay from another DFer - Sunder Munich I think, all these were via the message boards. Sistinas is a former AFI collector who had a load of test pressings. I think she was a big Tiger Army fan and probably knew GK personally. The rest of mine from memory are from ebay…

Where did you find that photocopied sleeve one? I assume that one will be another holy grail I’ll take years to find.
