It didn’t matter that Rev star on the back. It probably doesn’t even have sleeve print … which is sort of a shame, really. Make sure to pick this one up fast, and Chip’s other auctions. New homes are not cheap.
Rival Mob Graffiti
I’m not very good at reading Graffiti. Neither is futura. I’m sure they could clue us in. Like the seller, I have never seen this tshirt either. What’s the deal with this one? When was it sold, what tour?
Lars Frederiksen Is NOT Jeff Nelson
Lars Frederkisen is no Jeff Nelson by any stretch of the imagination. Granted, Jeff was in Minor Threat, Egg Hunt, Skewbald, High-Back Chairs (anyone got emps?), … while Lars joined Rancid before the second album and also leads Lars Frederiksen and The Bastards. Imagine if Jeff Nelson had a band called Jeff Nelson and The Bastards??
Jeff took the time and effort to put up classic, detailed postings of some of the greatest hardcore items around. He added trivia and minutia, everything a collector would want. Lars did not go that route. No sir. Instead, he gave a handful of tees to this guy with a few words like, “uh, I think I got this 20 years ago,” or “this is old.” Yes, Lars gave his tees to an individual who has been “authorized to sell his stuff on ebay.” His words, not mine. Actually, it gets worse. Because all of his auctions read like this.
I HAVE BEEN AUTHORIZED TO SELL HIS STUFF ON EBAY. HERE’S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO OWN A PART OF PUNK ROCK HISTORY!! YOU ARE BIDDING ON AN ORIGINAL, VINTAGE D.O.A “MURDER” SIZE MEDIUM/LARGE TOUR T-SHIRT. THE SHIRT IS IN GREAT SHAPE FOR BEING 20 YEARS OLD ALTHOUGH THE TAG HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT. LARS SAID HE BOUGHT THIS AT THE SHOW AND WORE IT A BUNCH OF TIMES SINCE THEN.
Yeck. Every auction. Yelling at you. Granted, the shirts aren’t terrible. He’s got a few good ones in there. Take that Rancid superfan. Have at it.
Update: Jeff Nelson just upped more items to ebay. Thanks, Cooch!
