Frank Zappa Barking Pumpkin Records 1980 Baseball Tee

Post by LisaAnn »

I am not only new to this forum, but also to to buying/selling vintage tees. I would like to get an idea of what this one is worth. I found one listed for $375 in decent condition and another for $200 that had several areas that were damaged. This one is in great condition in my opinion. I was initially concermed about part of the tag being missing, but everything else checked out (stitching, made in USA, cotton blend) Other than a small hole in one of the sleeves, it has some knotting from being washed. I'm curious about the value and may be interested in selling. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome! So it being a size small has drawbacks, since in that era even an XL is a small by today's standards.

The cut tag is indicative of a bootleg.

You'd probably get between $150 and $250 perhaps? depends on if there's a Zappa guy out there waiting for this to appear and doesn't care about the size.

Yeah, I was concerned about the tag being cut. Thank you so much for your help.

I've got some more tees I'd like for you to look at soon. I want to find out more about the consignment program as well.
