From the man himself. I guess it's easier than signing autographs. I don't keep it in a case or anything.

I don't collect picks but have a few...the best one was a pick Dickey Betts tossed to my son at a concert in Nashville,I was taking pictures and I framed and matted a picture of Dickey and fit the pick into the mat,turned out pretty cool,my son has it on the wall of his music room.

Don't collect em but...Buddy Guy...got it at a concert in Germany...I was standing right in front about two feet to the left of Buddy and right in front of his Tweed Bassman that was cranked! And it was freaking LOUD :!: ...I looked down about 1/2 way through the show and it was stuck to the sweat on my arm :!: :D As I have said before even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then...

I have a John Lennon pick that cost me the best part of $3,000-it came with my 1965 John Lennon Casino.I also have a George Strait pick that came with a George Strait Wrangler brand shirt I bought -not because I'm a closet fan but it was a cool shirt.My pick of choice though is the .73mm Dunlop nylon-been using them since they came out.

Like this? This is my favorite pick. Does anyone use the V Picks? I've been wanting to try them out.

I use v-picks and they're great well worth it . They have a starter pack that will give you styles to try.

I have 2 picks from the Van Halen For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge tour in the 90's.
it has the acronym and EVH's signature embossed on one and Michael Anthony's sig on the bass pick. I also have a dunlop pick that Eddie was supposedly using when my then girlfriend's father asked him for it. I also have a couple from Reel Big Fish. i saw where they landed during a show and went directly to that spot when the lights came up. They say the band name on one side and "Don't Hurt People" on the other. I also have a Les Paul and Friends pick that was a promo item when the CD of the same name came out. I also have a crapload of Almost Famous picks from when the DVD of the movie was released. I woked in a CD store and we did't give away very many and my boss was going to throw them out, so I took the whole box. They came in a little clear box with foam in many different shapes. I used up most of these ones.

I snagged a Gene Simmons pick that was used by Ace Frehley in 96' during a show in Buffalo.
Also grabbed half of a smashed Paul Stanley guitar, and a rose thrown out by Peter Criss during Beth (which thank God I didn't give to my then girlfriend who was right next to me!!!)
