I stumbled on the above Morrissey Kill Uncle era relics by searching eBay’s top performing vintage t-shirt listings. $150 each with a few hours left before the listing ended…

Looks like the 1990s nostalgia bug continues to bite. We reported on the surging Nirvana vintage t-shirt trend a few months back. And Nirvana is to alternative what Morrissey is to indie so it’s no surprise his early 90s tees are now a hot ticket. It’s true, the 1990s are the new 1980s. Like clockwork 90s music swag is experiencing the same eBay action the rock merch of the 80s did in the early 2000s.
