I'm about to list these shirts on eBay but I have no knowledge of t-shirt pricing. I welcome anyone who wants to give an opinion. Thanks.
The Clash - Takes The Fifth - US Tour 1979 Approx Size: Pit to pit 18" x 23" long - I wore this one it has 3 small hole in the front - see photo. I see a faded version of on sale eBay US for $901.19 which seems a tad optimistic to me.
and
Talking Heads UK Tour 1978 T-shirt-Laurie Rae Chamberlain Design Approx Size: Pit to pit 17" x 37.5" long - This has never been worn.
I can't find this one anywhere other than featured in Cesar Padilla's book "Ripped t-shirts from the underground".

Wow, these are both relics. If I were you I would price both at $1000 and set best offers and see what rolls in. With the sizes being so small, they are definitely not going to the modern wearers, but will find a home among the 70s heads.

Other Clash takes tees have fetched near to $1000 (different designs tho)

and Talking will be worth a good chunk of change too - interesting tag on that one.
