Karnak77 has listed some cool items. An original Cro-Mags Age of Quarrel sticker and a small lot of Agnostic Front flyers. It’s funny, but most of the collectors I know cherish items like these more than items worth much more. Value isn’t everything, that’s for sure.
What’s not to love about a chainsaw wielding skinhead??
Ok, so this thing is a rag. I am not gonna lie. If you know me, you know I have serious issues and infatuation with all things Wishingwell Records. I find that I can’t help myself when one of these weird shirts pop up.
I am sure you have seen a black Bl’ast! shirt before in pictures, I know I have. I am 99% certain that all the ones I have seen in person were bootlegs. Too crisp and too clean, usually something is off.
When I saw this one for sale, a few things immediately grabbed me. The chest logo is actually 3 hits of color slightly offset to give a weird 3d effect. I am into that. The shirt also looks like it has been to war, IE original.
Sleeves cut, bottom cut, this shirt certainly has issues. I know there are some of you who will disagree, but I like to buy a rarity that I need,even if it is in such rough shape, and add it to my collection until I can find one in a better condition.
If you have an original one of these in better condition, please get in touch. I would love to upgrade…
WOAH baby. So this thing has been through the ringer. It looks like something you would throw away. Slow down there pal. This is a test shirt that the Verbal Assault guys did when they were first making shirts. Features the talking heads with cartoon bubble dialog boxes. I have never seen this design before.
The best thing about it is the cartoon dude verbally assaulting himself. He is wearing a R.I.X. shirt. Never have I seen that before either.
I am proud to have this shirt in my collection. Rhode Island has/had deep rooted connections with the hardcore goings on across the country, and Verbal Assault was a Rhode Island institution. The stories and memories that come along with this “rag” are priceless.
Thanks for allowing me to add this to my collection Brian. It will be cherished.
OK, so Teamwork Records may not be your favorite record label, but c’mon. I’m sure you can find it in your heart to spend $1.50 on this shirt. Wear it to the gym, wear it to the beach or wear it mowing the lawn. Someone please save this shirt from the car wash rag pile.
You can represent Floorpunch, Atari, 97A, Ensign, Atari, Rain on the Parade and Pushed Too Far all in one shot!
