Home alone 2 promo tee

Post by Maxfern790 »

Can’t find online. It’s a promo tee before the movie I think it’s extremely rare. I’ve tried to look it up can’t find it. It was purchased from someone who worked for the company who made home alone. It is dated 1/30/92 on a tag at the bottom attached to it. Almost a year before the movie came out.

Very cool, no doubt it was a pre-release promo. Seems to be scarce when I try to track similar ones down. I did find two examples of this t-shirt - an Oasis Sports The Addams Family cartoon promo.

So one theory could be that they printed them in the state you had it - and then allowed aftermarket printing to certain companies for additional promo?

Either way I couldn't find any others exactly like yours. The provenance is solid, if it's as you describe. I would try to get a letter from the employee.

I'm confused with that date tag, where is it fastened, how is it fastened?

Thank you for this! Any chance you had a price appraisal on it?

The max for HA 2 tees is about $200. But if you got a letter, and kept it in what appears to be deadstock, maybe $250-500.

How is that tag attached? where?
