 The top 100 criteria is as follows;

1. limited

2. sought after

3. hard to find (this is different to "sought after")

4. expensive

5. classics in the bootleg collecting world

The top 100 is hard to figure out, some items are very rare, expensive & sought after. Some items are very limited and hard to find but not worth much or sought after. Some items are limited but cheap. It's a combination of these criteria that makes a top 100 item. If an item matches all five then it is a top 100 item for definite. If an item matches three or four criteria then it may still be a top 100 items.

Some Bootlegs like the "Metal Up Your Ass", "Master Of Evil", "Speed Metal Gods", "Justice For Adelaide" etc. will always be in the top 100 list as they are "classics" bootlegs in the collecting world & they will never be taken off the list. They are marked with an asterisk (*).
