Bat Out of Hell

A monthly report on Defunkd’s notable vintage t-shirt sales.

Some people will do anything for the love of Meat Loaf, including shelling out $412 for one of his tees. But do you blame them? Check out this epic 1970s Bat Out of Hell relic.

“Master Vader, Hard to Beat” states an official Space Invaders tee that just got a high score in the sexual innuendo and price department at $274.

This Everything But the Girl tee might get lost in translation, but the $199 was easy enough to understand.

The purse was $194 for this rare Wheaties branded Rocky III tee.

The Lightning Seeds struck once, in the form of $165.

If you Heart: Blue Oyster Club, Cheap Trick, and UFO then $136 is a small price to pay for this gem.

View a previous edition where a De La Soul t-shirt fetched top dollar.

[ LINK IN BIO ] In honor of May the 4th we connected with a gentleman named Shawn whose father, Ira, worked for ILM. He designed the Biker Scout, need we say more? Shawn shared an epic tale of a bootleg Star Wars tee his dad heroically stashed away despite George Lucas' attempt to have it destroyed.
.
RIP Ira Keeler. Long live the resistance.

[ LINK IN BIO ] @legiteem8's authenticity quiz had an awesome turnout with over 300 participants. Their average score was 55%...which indicates we've got some work to do. But we also had three nearly perfect submissions and 40 people who scored above 75%. Bravo. 👏
.
Anyone who graded over 60% will be contacted in the coming weeks via email. Once the app is live you'll get a badge boost based on your results. 📈
.
For the record, yes, this quiz was tough. In the modern age of vintage tee counterfeiting, we can no longer just eye-ball items - it's not that easy. Counterfeit brands and bogus prints are getting better and better. Authentication now requires time, research, and especially making careful comparisons to known originals.
.
Follow the link in the bio for the full reveal and methodology behind the process.
.
There's still time to sign up for our public beta, visit Legiteem8.app and punch in your email address.

[ LINK IN BIO ] Sadly, there's a new record for the most expensive vintage t-shirt.
.
Last year we reported on a Grateful Dead t-shirt that fetched $17,640 at auction. Only four months later the record has been shattered by none other than Justin Bieber.
.
Bieber is reported to have worn the tee during his 2010 "My World Tour" while performing "Baby."

[ LINK IN BIO ] So far there's been nearly 200 participants in the @legiteem8 authentication quiz - and the results are pretty mixed. The lowest score is 6% (🤯) and the highest is 94% (🏆). As it stands, the average score is only 55%, barely a passing grade. A big part of our mission is to empower the community by sharpening its authentication skills.
.
The good news almost half of everyone who participated will get an instant badge boost once the app launches, some even jumped two levels. Legiteem8 features a proprietary badge system that helps assess each member’s accuracy rating over time, which can even result in some users becoming paid experts.
.
PRO-TIP: Visit Defunkd.com and cram before the exam. Educ8 yourself by checking out "The Ultimate Guide to Vintage T-Shirt Authentication." Then, hop over to the quiz (link in bio) and be sure to take your time while doing it. Do the comparisons with known originals. Consider the true usefulness of single-stitch and copyright dates, and nail your appraisal.
.
We'll reveal the results next week!
