Hard to gauge the desirability of bad (not good bad either!) movies with awesome shirts. you gonna post it on auction? I can offer you my Killer Klowns t-shirt in trade. Maybe you could name one in the inventory...

[lord ched]

Hmmm... was sort of dithering on putting it up at all until you asked. Thing is, the movie was a flop, but the book it's based on is a worldwide cult bestseller, and I was wondering if some Jean M. Auel uber-fans would fight over it just to complete their collections. Was going to use it as the first shirt in a new pop-culture-time-forgot feature for the Defunkd blog... hmm hmm hmm.

What does that Killer Klowns shirt look like?

[hermosavtg]

eh, nothing special, just like this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/KILLER-KLOWNS-From- ... 0161240466" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

BTW, that Quest for Fire t-shirt took about 6 months to sell for, finally going for $14! I thought it would have brought some big fight from some Jean Jacques Annaud fans but...

[lord ched]

How about I just monitor your inventory and see what I like? Though William Shatner surrounded by testicles is a compelling image...

Always on the lookout for Berlin's Pleasure Victim... if you come across it, let me know and we can deal.

[hermosavtg]

He's looking a little cross-eyed there too. So many fuzzy balls!
There's a Love Life t-shirt here: http://cgi.ebay.com/Original-1984-BERLI ... 0404095152" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It's just a hair too large for me (I like 'em 19-20" p2p, 20.5 if I'm feeling lucky), and at $75 is a bit out of reach for someone on a disability cheque. Also, I'm kind of attached to that particular album. What can I say? I'm a little girl. When we talk shirts together.

Here's my (un)obscure nomination for today:

A 1988 Die Hard Tee. FOTL label.

Unfortunately obscure tees are too obscure for me to recognize.

[jimmyj]

whoa sweet...you selling that badboy?

[CRAZYBUBBA]

Nope that's going to Manhattan as well.

I've decided against selling piece by piece myself. I'm consigning the goods one month and then selling my bales in alternate "months" (a "month" is basically whenever my next container ships). It'll help keep the quality of the bales consistent but also let me test the waters of vintage resale. Since I've just shipped a container this tee won't be in stores for another 2 months.

[jimmyj]

what about selling it to your ol' pal jimmy j?

[CRAZYBUBBA]

It's yours. I'll send you a PM.

[jimmyj]

Action Jackson....one from my collection.

[StivTaters]

Yes! I love this category! Pre Alligator incident Carl Weathers. Great shirt and unfortunately for one guy from my high school who got caught doing his best Pee-Wee Herman impersonation in the bathroom stall, a great nickname.

[CRAZYBUBBA]

My contribution for today:

It's a non-obscure TV show but let's just pretend that it's for one of Hasslehoff's many "forgotten" movie cameos.

It's got an 80s Hanes tag.

[hermosavtg]

Should there be a separate thread for "Forgotten TV-Show Shirts"?

[CRAZYBUBBA]

I'm not sure that there would be enough material to keep the thread alive. We'd see a few Alf, Sesame street and maybe the odd MASH.. then nothing.

Not obscure, but still snazzy and rare:

Here's one truly forgotten film "Bebe's Kids"

[Frank]

"Bebe's Kids" plays on heavy rotation on BET Kids Channel

oh snap

[lord ched]

Remember this one?

[jimmyj]

no....what is it? it looks really interesting though...must have gone straight to vhs and slipped in to obscurity.

[CRAZYBUBBA]

must have gone straight to vhs and slipped in to obscurity.

[lord ched]

Hey- it's not the first non-obscure title to hit this thread.

[jimmyj]

True...Batman wasn't obscure either.
