Vintage T-Shirt Forum & Community Authentication Appraisals

Hey Everyone,

My mother & I inherited over 100 Greateful Dead Tee Shirts.

We are looking to learn, see the significance, value of what his collection is. Mainly want to see value, how to properly preserve, and share with folks who may know the significance, value, and possible sale to the right person who will cherish these as much as he did!

Any help would be great, I have attached a few pictures to show some shirts…. LOTS more where these came from as he followed them for years & went to 100’s of shows.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry for your loss.

But they clearly had good taste in tunes and tees.

This is going to be a tough job to pull off since you have so many.

But your best best is to use Terapeak - eBay's research tool and punch in keywords for each tee and get value on them.

For example "Further Festival 1996 Dead Shirt"

And then see if you can spot yours and what price it's sold for.

Some of the ones you posted might be obscure bootlegs, where it's tough to get a match though.

You can circle back if you're interested in selling the whole lot, we can help with that.
