Wow! Amazing piece!!!

I've never seen that one before. If I were you I would probably not try to stretch it. It's a highly sought after collectors piece worth probably $300-$500.

I guess that could be it. But it still seems beyond unlikely to me. This is why we need some old people in on this. Does anyone know anybody that worked in the shirt biz back in the day? In a print shop, or anything, that may be able to say whether they saw anything like this? Just to follow up Osc...
