Hi all!

Been following Defunkd for years – fascinating how old shirts have gone up in value and at the same time frustrating for the old ones from the 90s (and 80s) I threw out!

Thankfully I kept this (amongst a few others) from a visit to the 1992 Reading Festival.
Primarily to see Suede on a small stage, Public Enemy and many others.We didn't really know if Nirvana would show, but show up they did!

Soem pics here!

I do wonder how much it would sell for - interesting when we see tees selling for thousands every week!

I'm now based in Spain so on the lookout down there for odd vintage shirts down there so will post when I come across some!

Cheers all!
Stephen

Very cool, thanks for sharing. We do have a Nirvana expert on the app who would have a better idea than me. I can see from your IG post that he's seen it. I added your IG photos in here too.

We had one in our Marketplace that was listed at $550 back in 2016.

I can't find any records in WorthPoint, or any others currently listed on the main marketplaces. There is one listed in Japan for ¥34,200 which I think is about $250 USD. But that seems low to me. It's kind of a gold mine of very cool bands - lollapalooza t-shirts do well for that reason.

Try Hikki from the app.

Hey there!

Thanks for the reply! Yes indeed I got it valued at 1200 – which is great!!

Just seems to be a kind of crazy market at the moment - I imagine to the right person it could go for more.

Still, great to see all the interesting old tees on this site!!

All the best!
