1983-1986 - FRONT - UPDATED

Here’s the almost complete set of early BonJovi Picks. The only one missing on this scan is Gold on Black Jon Bon Jovi that Ongaku-sha, the promoter of the Japan Tour ‘85, gave him those Pickboy’s Picks as a present since Jon did not have custom picks at that time. - He was using Sambora’s picks on the Japan Tour ‘85. And In ‘86, Jon finally had the custom.
