theres a huge culture in japan and other asian countrys that is super into collecting different things, and thrasher memorabilia is one of the sought after things. i see these kinds of dudes at the flea market all the time and interact with them on ebay a lot (a lot of shirt collectors in Malaysia who use ebay a lot). most are super cool, some are grown ass men taking shirt/shoe/clothing collecting way too seriously. like jason dill said in that interview posted here recently. . . its really cool that theres people who are still "into" stuff.
