Perhaps a bit more detail on the Awe In Ones--the Rock Licks & Rock Vibes--the main difference here is that the Rock Licks are a little thicker--and I have more as they were changing the colours and sent me one of the old colour & one of the new at no extra cost.   |

Okay--not really a pick--it's a guitar pick shaped mouse pad.  |

And for real picks-these are some of the picks (The others are the other examples of the same type) I bought back in the spring/summer when Covid stuff was easing off & I picked up some cables. they had a bunch of picks on sale--so I got some to try. The Ernie Ball ones are pretty similar to the Tortex ones I favour. the middle two on the top are both sides of the same type of pick--I like these on my Mandobird. the Prime Tone ones--(bottom row) are okay--nto quite my thing though--the pattern feels odd, but I'd have no problem using them. When they put picks on sale I tend to pick some up  |

Soem thick picks. The rubber & felt ones were in another picture The middle row has three Stubby Picks. The one on the left & the middle one are different thicknesses, and bear an oxymoron for the name--Big Stubby the bottom row are three thick Stash picks--they aren't bevelled, they have square edges--so they do feel different playing with them--btu they have a cool sound to them. As far as I know the Stash ones are the only ones no longer made.  |

The ones on the left in the top row are Wedgie picks.
I once gave one away--and I can say I gave that person a Wedgie.

Promo picks for an Alberta public radio station, and another for a group called Guitar Church (No longer active)-but with the logo worn off. (I believe they were Alberta based as well)  |

These were a gift--and see day I'd like to have all the CFL teams. (And maybe some other teams)  (These are definitely more souvenir style picks--unless you like flimsy picks.--but still cool in my books) |

The one on the right is a Grip pick--it's wavy which is supposed to make it fit on your thumb-doesn'tquite work--but still interesting. The other is a Herco/Dunlop--and it's basically a thumb pick that fits on your thumb like a regular pick should--so it may be at an odd angle for some thumb pickers. But it would be difficult to drop it:  |

Some miscellaneous picks A Stagg pick that could have been in the striped picture from earlier A House of Blues promo pick (I don't recall where or how I got this one) A Graph Tech Tusq pick (These sound like metal if you drop them, but they are a form of plastic or something like that--kind of cool--a bit different for sure) Clayton Hex Pick--a variation on the Star pick or other picks with a shape cut out--supposedly to help you hold on better-I kind of find it uncomfortable--but some like it) A Cat's Tongue pick (See the CT--these are the same, basically as Snarling Dog picks--which I have as well--the idea being the rough surface makes it easier to hang on)  |

Not my picks--from online--but I would like to check out Cactus picks--it just costs so much shipping to order a few up here.  |

Hmmm, Stampeder fan..... I really missed the CFL this past year. I’m a big Ticat fan. If I ever see a Tiger-cat pick, I’ll let you know, but I haven’t seen any in my 64 years on this earth.

Mine were a gift--I think they were bought online. I've seen them for some of the other teams--but it would be a bit pricey to order them all at once. So over time sure. I do have the little mini helmets for most of the CFL Although some of them are no longer the style. |

I'd like to try these--but I've only seen hem on one site--and their price to ship to Canada is ridiculous. Unless I was a retailer--and ordering a lot. But I still would like to try these. And not just because of the pun aspect. Yes these are guitar picks, and teeth--yes they are tooth picks.  |

Snark not only makes tuners, you can buy Snark picks.   On the left is the back of pick, on the right is the pick file mentioned on the packaging Although you might be able to use it as a raspy thick pick--but probably not too sturdy.  I got these, because (same as above)--a local store had them on sale. I already had some, but not the pick file--so for a couple of bucks, I couldn't resist. They also have celluloid ones, but I'd be more likely to sue these ones. But as I type this I am contemplating going back for the celluloid ones as well (I do have one of them) |

Want a pick that lights up?
Want to spend $50+ on it?
Not my thing, but it could be cool of a live show.
Maybe.
but presented as another variation on guitar picks.

I scanned some picks today--possibly have some repeats in part. But sharing some more picks. Glorbz makes sheets to store picks in. I have some. And when you order them they send you a couple of Glorbz picks as well. They have different types. (You see three of the four I have here, as the 4th duplicates the celluloid one) Here we have celluloid, nylon & Delrin picks. There's a broken one--one of my favourite picks from the early days. And then 4 promo picks from a guitar show  |

All four Glorbz picks--and the reverse of some of the others.  |

I just picked up a few different "Jazz III".. I picked up the Kirk Hammets, John Petrucci, .73 and 1.0 Tortex's. The Tortex's aren't what I would call Jazz III, but they are listed as Jazz III. I come to prefer the Jazz III

I come to prefer the Jazz III I find I need more to hang onto--but hey--I know some people who love huge picks & some who like tiny ones--which is cool that there are picks to match those people--and all sorts of stuff in between. |

These were both given to me. One is Delrin the other is nylon the one on the right does not reflect my lifestyle (& oddly did not reflect the lifestyle of the person who gave it to me) it does glow in the dark  |
