The Quest for the Green Obi's

I know this may be a strange post, but my collector's OCD loves to complete a collection. If you don't know what I'm talking about, Toshiki Kadomatsu rereleased his whole catalog in 1986 to coincide with his newly released album "Touch and Go". During the rerelease campaign, each album and 12-inch single had a matching green and white obi strip. Some albums, such as On the City Shore and After 5 Clash never had obis to begin with, so the only way to get a version with an obi was to get the green obi rerelease. Because I am a citypop vinyl collector, it has been my mission to collect all of the green obi variants for all of his releases. However, some of them are extremely rare, so it has been no small task. The reason I am posting about this is to ask you all if you have (or have seen) Toshiki's single Hatsu Koi with a green obi. I could not find a single photo or sold listing for a green obi variant for Hatsu Koi anywhere. I'm not explicity asking for anyone to sell me their copy (but I wouldn't say no), I just want some proof that it exists. Thanks.

Where can I get screen accurate Raiders jacket buckles?

I got a wested leather raiders jacket from facebook marketplace, but it came with the D-ring buckles instead of the rectangular black ones. Does anyone know of where to just buy accurate buckles only? Thanks.

I was messing around on Discogs a few weeks ago, and I found out that On Guitar was part of a series! I guess it's kinda obvious since it says "Professional High-Technique Series" on the Obi, but it never registered with me that it meant there were other albums. Now, a few short weeks later, I have them all! I've had On Guitar for a couple of years, so I only needed On Bass (which isn't very rare or expensive) and On Drums (which is a little more rare).

EDIT: Some people wanted me to digitize "On Drums" so here is the YT link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMW-5AupjEA
