The good news: VV has gone throwback by auctioning over 100 vintage t-shirts through their eBay account. I can’t recall the last time they had so many tees up for grabs…I’m pretty sure Bush was in the White House, and American troops were in Iraq.

Unfortunately, the eBay system’s limitations prevented me from authoring the guides exactly how I wanted. Well, I just updated them with the latest info on forgery techniques and decked them out with tons of new photos including a vintage brand gallery.
