Defunkd’s exclusive collection of vintage t-shirts for sale at reasonably exorbitant prices. Item #8: Elvira Year: Early 1980s Circulation: Scarily scarce.

Item #7: Bob Marley and the Wailers Island Records Promo Album: Exodus Year: 1977 Circulation: In this condition?! Next to nil. Wow, this is the rarest shirt we’ve ever had our hands on.

Defunkd’s exclusive collection of vintage t-shirts for sale at reasonably exorbitant prices. Item #4: Spandau Ballet T-Shirt Album: True Tour: Over North America Year: 1983 Circulation: Rare.
