Meet Zac Vege: Inside the Collection
Take a closer look at the KISStacular items in Zac Vege's enviable KISS collection.
Apr. 21, 2019
Zac Vege has loved the rock band KISS since he was a kid — and he has the basement to prove it. Zac played in a KISS tribute band with his father, who passed away two years ago. His collection of all things KISS includes Ace Frehley-designed guitars, an original KISS pinball machine, KISS trading cards, and the rare original KISS promotional poster sent to radio stations with the first KISS record.
Zac is joined by his wife Melanie, and we’ve brought along KISStorian David Ashdown to value Zac’s collection. David also brought a limited-edition vinyl album from the KISS Cruise signed by the entire band in hopes to make a trade for one of Zac’s items.
