I don’t have ANNNNNY idea who this iftheworldwasflat guy is, but I’m in awe that his Rival Mob auction is only just now starting to get bids…
This shirt was selling for buckets of cash not even a month ago, kind of surprised to see it down around $1.25. Still, there’s a little over a day to go, a flurry of 11th hour bidding could send this up to reach the same epic heights. Or it could be one of you will get to snatch it up for a nice and reasonable price.
I must admit that I have personally gotten caught up in the hype of collecting in the past. I had to have all the designs/colors/variations/styles of different bands records and shirts. I am sure alot of you are familiar with this “problem”, and I am sure have different ways to cope with it. As for myself, I had to narrow my scope or I was on my way to being divorced and living in a cardboard box with only a blanket made out of schism shirts and chung kings for warmth. Anyway, back to this Stop and Think shirt. In the shirtography of Stop and Think, I would place this at the bottom. It is relatively uneventful, evokes no excitement and has no declaration of the BOSTON STRAIGHT EDGE(still on top). If it were me trying to focus my collection, I would take a pass on something like this, unless it was the last one I needed for my collections.(sigh)
Update: word on the street: BOOTLEG. Who knew someone was bootlegging this??
OK CT heads, I need your help on this one. I’m 90% certain this is a Lost And Found hood, but someone clue me in. Adam Tanner, I’m looking at you … I’ve seen this one before. I know it’s not super old. As I recall, Owen Rogers used to wear this one all the time. Or am I confusing it? Either way, it’s a little much for me. Much like those recent B9 Project X hoods, this has just a few too many sides, colors and fonts. Sorry madballmarshall but you aren’t getting my money. Of course, I’m sure he’ll get plenty for it … Just not from me.
Seller madballmarshall has a No Warning shirt up currently that I swear is a Morgado piece. But Morgado is busy cleaning the lint out of his closets and scrubbing toilets. Instead of Morgado’s banter on dog chains, you’re stuck with me. Now I liked No Warning. Got to see them a bunch, but I bet I don’t like them as much as Morgado did. Here’s what I do know. When the seller says, ” Those who were around during the time of No Warning [know] how great they were live and just how few and far between these shirts are,” he’s grasping for that “rare” straw. These shirts weren’t limited. They were made in the same quantity as any band merch was and is. The only thing that would make them rare is their age. You probably won’t find a lot of people with these shirts in excellent condition. Send this one through your favorite Oxy Clean alternative, and you might be good to go.
Morgado, if you are out there, chime in. We need you buddy.
Update: Just heard a fun fact from my main man, Bob Shedd. Apparently there was a pre-cursor to this tshirt. It featured a picture of a dog behind a fence. However, they couldn’t get a good enough picture so the band had to get someone to draw a picture instead. Pretty cool factoid. Bob may or may not have a print out of the original artwork somewhere. Would like to see that …
