1970s Nike label???

I have seen couple auctions for a Nike striped shirt claiming to be from the 70s, but the label looks more 90s to me especially since this style shirt usually has an orange swoosh sportswear label. What do you think?

Buyers that I refuse to sell to and refund money up front

One guy from Malaysia sends me two or three emails asking about an item. It was over a Christmas holiday weekend and he was upset that I had not gotten back to him soon enough. Then he purchased the shirt before I could reply to him. His international address was not verified on Pay Pal. Then he ...

Benetton Polo score

So, I'm going through some bales of used clothing with other pickers, and my friend Dan, knowing I am sucker for anything cheesy 80s, holds up this shirt and asks me if it is worth anything. Based on my t-shirt research of this brand, I told him it does not go for much. Well, I guess I did not know ...

This shirt has a lot going on! The graphic is total late 70s! I love it. Otherwise, I have nor seen the brand before. I think this shirt is Pimp.

Re: Andy Capp/Helsinki Cup, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sinatra

Sometimes soccer shirts can be pricy, and I think that Andy Cappcan he add to the price. But I think it should start at least at $25+. The chili peppers short looks legit, so it soul go for at least $30 to $75 or more. The frank shirt is nice and should go for at least $35 or more. I am rhinking ...

Re: ebayer wolf5pak scammer

He has sold stuff. It just gets me that an evil knieval shirt from 1974 is by Stedman, though the company did not start until late 70s, and this label he used started in the mid eighties. He replied telling me I was incorrect. What a cheeser in my opinion.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/400322490418?redirect=mobile Ok, this is just one example if this dude claiming NOS 70s items. Inthis case, the label is clearly a late 80s label with a 1978 iron-on graphic. This wolf5pak user is claiming all of his shirts to be NOS stock from the 70s, but I am almost ...

Re: Ebay 30 day selling limit?

So, I take it this email is norm. Just when I started putting 10 auctions at a time, I get my money held for 21 days (if i dont get feedback) and they limit me even though I should have more according to my 50 auctions a month. I guess suck is an adjective for them.

Nike Sneakers shirt???

Hi, I found this shirt that has a killer graphic, and the black and white Icarus character is wearing some Nike shoes in color. The label is a blank unreadable black tag. Has anyone ever seen a shirt like this? Is it 90's or 00's? I have no clue other than the graphic is awesome. Any ideas?

Yes, late 70's or very very early 80's. I've got mostly late 70's Sports T shirts. Nice shirt!

Oops, I was confusing Changes with the Sneakers label. I saw a 1998 date on a Changes label shirt this past week. Thanks for the correcting!

Re: Double Bull label..?

Nice shirt. The font is late seventies, and the graphic looks very late 70s. It is safe to say this could be from 1978-1981 since the bright colors and whacky designs started up around '83 or so. I have an mid 80s Made in China shirt and the label is sewn on the same way with the same shape.

Re: Howdy

You can't go wrong if it is "made in USA", unless it is ugly. And yes, I agree the blue on white label is always good. Oh, and some early 90s (possibly late 80s) jackets were blue on white label and made in Taiwan. I have seen the Taiwan jackets go for $20 bucks and some change. I have one myself.

Hey CRAZYBUBBA, I could not post it in the forums due to the file size, but I uploaded it into my SHOW Collection. I am pretty sure it is 70s based on my eBay searches, but it could be 80s- I am not the Nike expert. Check it out here: http://www.defunkd.com/product/VI71953/nice-70s-nike-t-shirt ...

Re: HE-Man Masters of Universe Changes Tag?

I think that the Changes shirt could be from around the same time 83/84. I do not think itcwas added too far afterwards. I think it is within reason. He-Man freakin' rules.
