bizzare -
I saw Maiden on that tour. June 8, 1982. Front row/standing, left of center stage. Man, that was nearly 30 years ago. Great show.Comment

I was never really into Iron Maiden. I think its because I didnt like the front mans voice that much. I thought Judas Priest was really cool back in the day though. (I was really into heavy metal back in the eighties).Comment

Wow, a shirt that was made for and sold at only seven dates. I can certainly see the rarity there. No wonder it's going for big bucks.Comment

I don't really understand the appeal. Too easy to fake a vintage T.
I have a box full of old concert shirts. I should crack em out and sell em. They are not in the best of shape tho, as I actually wore them.Comment

What'ya got, I'm interested in any punk/hardcore/new wave shirts.Comment

As for faking them there are subtle differences that are hard to reproduce. You'd need to print them on vintage blanks as well, size is a dead giveaway.Comment

Personally, these are the type that I like best. When I started doing eBay, that's what I sold, old t-shirts and records.
When I sold old tees that werent in the best shape I'd always state in the auction "If you want a tee that looks like it came from a mall kiosk, go to the mall, if you want a tee that actually came from the show/tour and has lived through the experience, this is the shirt for you". Seems to have worked, I did well with t-shirts. still do really. Between Bill, Megoat and myself we'd probably be all over your old tee's.Comment

We shouldn't judge...remember...other people think we are crazy spending our lunch money on plastic eight inch dollies...lol.sigpicComment

Not really. It's easy to make a shirt that LOOKS like a vintage tee, but just like any collectible, it's pretty easy for those that are experienced to tell the difference 'tween fakes/repros and the real deal.
Like Bill said, you could find vintage blank tees and screen on 'em but even then there are ways to tell.
I love concert tees. Just bought 14 pretty good ones today!
As for the auction, Maiden shirts are some of the more highly collectible concert tees. Not surprising at all. This shirt would also be VERY difficult to convincingly reproduce......Last edited by megoat; Feb 11, '12, 7:37 PM.Comment

No judgment here. I, that being me and/or myself, just don't get the appeal. Other folks dig them and that is fine by me. I know that 99% of folks in the world would not be able to tell a DM Bruce Wayne from an original Mego. I am just in the 99% when it comes to rock Ts. Perhaps some folks will gain if any of my high school memories have survived the years.
You're gonna have to be awfully skinny, tho.

Damn, I wish I kept all my concert shirts.

Looking back now, I liked the album covers more than I dd the music. Particularly since a t-shirts or posters were an easy way to annoy teachers and other authority figures.
I cam see it going for that much... Vintage clothing, particularly concert shirts are a huge market. Much bugger than our toys given the wide reach bands like ths ave and that sweet spt of teen rebellion nostalgia.
Eddie is pretty darn awesome across all hs incarnations.

That T-Shirt will not fit into one of my thighs...let alone my torso...No judgment here. I, that being me and/or myself, just don't get the appeal. Other folks dig them and that is fine by me.
