I first got into tees when I started going to concerts around 1986-87. My brother gave me a cassette of Diary of a Madman when I was younger and I’ve been hooked ever since. A few years of Ozzy’s solo stuff and then I dove into Sabbath. I have seen Ozzy and Sabbath in concert around 15 times. I consider myself a massive Ozzy and t-shirt fan.

I’m totally psyched for Ozzy’s new album. I have already pre-ordered a signed copy of it. And I’m definitely looking forward to his NFL halftime kick-off.

My go-to shirt is my Tribute shirt!

It’s hard to pick my Ozzy grail tee shirt but it would probably be my No More Tears..no wait The Ultimate Sin…wait, no, it’s gotta be my No Rest For The Wicked.

I’m on the constant hunt for Ozzy or Black Sabbath Ozzy-era tees. Always looking for different prints from different countries, different legs of tours, or those all-over prints.

I have somewhere around 300+ vintage band shirts ranging from the 70s to some current bands. Some of my prized shirts would have to be my 80s Metallica, 80s Megadeth, 87 Helloween, Doro Pesch(high-school crush), 80s Loudness, and 90s Lynch Mob. I’m sure I could list at least 10 more grails.

I started reselling around 6 years ago.

Fun fact: I answered an ad in a Goldmine magazine in the 90s where they looking for magazine covers that featured Ozzy on the cover. I lived in Spain in the 80s and often bought metal magazines so I had a few that featured Ozzy. I sent copies of the covers they replied they would buy them – and it ended up being Ozzy’s manager! I told him I didn’t want the money but if he could send a signed picture that would be cool. He sent a very nice care package!
