The Most Expensive Vintage Rock T-Shirts on eBay In 2008
For your viewing pleasure, I present the highest priced tees currently for sale in eBay stores in 2008. Feel free to caress the shirts while they’re on your monitor, but I do frown upon the usage of tongue.
1988 Vintage Iron Maiden New York T-Shirt
Cost: $999.99
Seller’s Store: 4all2envy
My Two Cents: This is one of four Iron Maiden tees in this seller’s store priced this way. Hey, don’t complain, they’re still under a grand, and you can make an offer on any of them. There’s also a wack-load of sick vintage Nike sneakers that would send Spike Lee into orbit.
1979 Vintage The Clash Bo Diddley T-Shirt
Cost: $750.00
Seller’s Store: rainbowgasoline
My Two Cents: If you don’t think this shirt is worth its weight in gold, you don’t know Diddley. This seller actually has an even more expensive shirt, go check it out. I won’t ruin the surprise, but let’s just say you’d have to be livin la vida loca to buy it. With over 800 shirts in stock, this is the type of store children get lost in, and are never found.
1970 Vintage Led Zeppelin III Ringer T-Shirt
Cost: $750.00
Seller’s Store: Wyco_Vintage
My Two Cents: Ringer shirts have taken a dive in popularity over the past few years, but in a shirt like this you are exempt from any silly fashion trends. Besides, it’s only a collar ringer. This up-and-coming vintage tee store is quite impressive with a nice balance of auctions and fixed price rarities.
1975 Vintage Rolling Stones Memphis Tour Crew T-Shirt
Cost: $500.00
Seller’s Store: stormcrow-vintage
My Two Cents: Crew shirts are among the rarer shirts around because they were only printed for staff, there’s just not many in circulation. While you are checking out this tee, fly through Stormcrow’s entire store, it’s definitely not for the birds.
1985 Venom Nightmare T-Shirt
Cost: $400.00
Seller’s Store: silverruins
My Two Cents: Vintage thrash metal t-shirts have really skyrocketed in value in the past few years. If you’ve become a little soft in your old age, this store has one of the better selections of hardcore. Just make sure not to wear them around children or the elderly.
