Ghost bootlegs! 7" vinyl singles + flexi discs

Let me state right away that I´m usually a huge fan of the vinyl bootleg and hunt after them like crazy!
That being said however, I am NOT a fan of this recent trend of mega limited editions - often only five or ten copies. Not only is it almost impossible to find them, but if you do manage to track one of them down the price asked for them are nothing short of ridiculous.
I like to try to get as complete a collection as possible, but those limited quantities and accompanying prices effectively kills both the collecting spirit and the wallet.

For this reason, I do not collect bootlegs by Ghost and none of the records listed above are my own. I still like to keep an eye open for what´s out there and have saved pictures of bootlegs over the past three years when I have found them. I don´t have any first hand information on any of them and all I know is what can be read on the pictures. More colors available of some release, a second run produced of another - I have no idea! When I find it I will add it, but for now, this is all I know.
All pictures come from searches on eBay over the years.

Besides the first entry below, which was actually the first one that ever appeared for Ghost fans, the bootlegs are not presented in any particular order.
