Vintage T-Shirt Forum & Community Authentication Appraisals

Found at a Car Boot/ Garage Sale and I’m positive it is authentic. The seller I bought from used to be a crew/ roadie for several bands in the 70-80s

Pit to Pit - 18”
Collar to Bottom - 26”

From my research the tag is Fruit of Loom (Unbranded) - RN 13765 which matches with that era.

Alongside this, the item is single stitch and the sizing is significantly smaller as to what we would class as a large. Anyways I have tried to find an equivalent of this tee online but all I can find is reprints and no sales for the original. What price do you think this would fetch? How rare is it?

Also, I bought several other seemingly rare items from this seller from bands like Thin Lizzy, Rush, Motörhead, King Crimson, The Ramones etc. so if you want me to upload and wouldn’t mind appraising all them it would be highly appreciated

Beauty. No question as to authenticity. Size is always the limiting factor of these 70s and 80s tees. But I did find a few TL tees in the $500 range from that era. Couldn't find this exact print tho. The only Black Rose ones were clearly reprints from the 90s.

I would price it at $500 with offers and see what rolls in. Prob land at at least $250.

Sure, up em all! Love to see these hauls!

Okay I will do so in a couple of hours just have some work to finish! I have already had an offer for this tee at £200/ $260, so I’m presuming I could push for a bit more if I wanted. Do you agree?

Through eBay? How long ago did you post it?

No, I posted on a forum called tshirtslayer which is made for showing off your collections, buying & selling memorabilia etc. I only listed it yesterday evening.

ahh nice. It's always good to try eBay too, price it high with offers, see what nibbles you get.
