Future of Vintage t shirt Hobby
Hello all, been a while since my last post here...too damned busy with day job this year. First of all, sorry to hear about the loss of the sales forum. I have noticed that dealing with paypal has become more complicated over the years (even for a private seller) so can't imagine the "hassle factor ...

Re: State of the hobby?
I'd forgotten about the comic book thingie :o mind you, I was mostly into the western stuff; Rawhide Kid, and some war comics...Sgt Fury and his Howling Commandos...not sure if that stuff would be worth anything these days or not! Money all seems to be in the "superhero" genre, something I just ...

State of the hobby?
I've been wondering about this for the last few weeks, btw; a couple things made me focus on it. Firstly, a customer (from my day job) asked if I had any "smaller" band t's from Metallica, Nirvana, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, etc; for his 13 yr old niece. (I did, but cautioned him that two of them were ...

Re: 3D rip? Or just a cool t?
I was wondering how old this was as well :? I kept thinking it can't be too "old" because the shirt shows little (if any) wear, but then I went and looked at a few of my personal black t's from the 80's and they look just as good. Guess it wasn't worn much, or whoever owned it looked after it!

3D rip? Or just a cool t?
Carrying on the endless 3D trucker t saga :roll: I came across this gem in a "lot" buy a couple months back, and finally got around to takin some pics yesterday. On the whole, a pretty nice t. Material feels good, and the print quality is above average with tight registration; with the exception of ...

Re: Post your most obscure band t-shirts
Wow...Fist! A GREAT band whose heyday was early 80's..."Thunder in Rock" and "Fleet Street" were two of their best songs, and probably the best known due to some pretty decent airplay in 81-82. Ron Schenier (hope I've got that spelled correctly) was a decent guitar player who got a phenomenal sound ...

Re: 3D t shirts...scarce tag!
That's interesting that the AW & c/r stuff has been acquired; hopefully some t's will emerge from this? That's the first time I've seen that combo tag on one of these t's, so I was thinkin' out loud. I've had a couple friends who were employed downstream from the factory doing specialized paintwork ...

Don't appear to able to resize these pics so they'll load, so I'll just provide a description. :evil: Continuing the 3D shirt saga, came across a shirt/tag this week that got me thinking about these t's in a new light. It's a very early 3D shirt, 1985 c/r; which predates all I've seen by a year ...

Great blog topic! I've actually wondered about this for years; for all the SW fanatics I know (it closely rivals the ST fanatics btw, but I'm from THAT generation haha) I have yet to have more than a handful ask about an authentic SW t from the 80's...let alone the 70's :lol: In fact, I get way more ...

Re: Led Zeppelin ? 80's
That's a cool shirt! I've got quite a few 'Backstage Pass' t's in the closet, & despite my search for info on the company itself, there's not much out there. I can tell you that they were a Canadian-based company that printed band t's (both extant & expired) under license, & that they did a lot of ...

Good info...thanx for the link to the GnR tour site.

I was actually looking for a bit of ...

I'm kinda wondering about this too...all of the 3D stuff I've sold in the last year has gone to Thailand or Malaysia. Mostly 'trucker t's" but the 3D Harley stuff sells at decent prices too, tho' not as high as something with Flying J Travel Plaza across the back. I can't see "Ice Road Truckers ...
