my camera is bust otherwise id be all over this thread.
i used to collect old band tees as wll, AK: your picks are killing me, i lost my collection to some ratfink ex flatmate who jacked the lot and was never seen again.
im talking bootleg stones tour shirts from the 70s, hendrix tour shirts, ill epmd and PE shirts, f*ckin hall and oates shirts, huey lewis and the news (ride or die), priest, a f*ckin LED ZEPPELIN TOIUR SHIRT FROM THE 70s... damn, now im angry all over again.
this spot in hollywood beach that was shuttered and one day it was mysteriously open. A very impatient and clearly sheltered hasidic woman was in charge and the vibes were weird, real weird and she was asking me personal questions. New never worn things from no later than 1982 all of them, with the original tags on them. I went nuts in there buying shit. i honestly don't think there was even a name except "beach funtimes" or something like that.
phonegone i hadn't thought of selling Rakim, but i would guess you could find one on the bay if you stuck to it?

NZ I feel your pain on losing your originals to that cretin thief so here's a KISS:
Healthy Habits related tee represent:
another one of my papa's b-ball set, it was featured here on the troplicalia blog but you can see it better below that i like it because it feature records and basketball:
Here's a pic of me in my very favorite T-shirt of all time. I hand stitched it all over the whole t-shirt in black stitching and hand cut it and had it for like ten years, then it was lost or stolen last month....if anyone ever sees someone wearing this, please steal it back for me!
i was trying to find a pic of this Fleetwood Mac shirt I have that I like..its an old 70s iron on, unfrotunately I have washed and dried it too many times and it has pretty much disintegrated...I found a pic...seeing the price, I wish I hadnt ruined mine...dang http://americanringer.com/pres/search.asp?searchPhrase=fleetwood
I have a brown , OG, qualude "rorer 714" tshirt that gets some wear as well..
here's another old philly one, and i find it to be funny but i don't get too into graphic tees at all, and it's giant so i wear it seldom:
that looks like it's been worn quite a bit. So far, as your philly t-shirts go AK i am into this one more:
F*ck a reissue. Strictly originals.
Here is a weird an wonderful tee with a story, what's weird is this tee is from the 1980 World Series, way before Obama's Yes We Can, I got this down in Miami a few years back at the weirdest store on the planet, but that's another thread. Anyway I loved wearing it this fall when I took the pic, it worked to combine the 2008 Phillies pride and the Obama support.
This is a pic of my Know Your Rights Clash T from the 1986 world tour...it's falling apart, ripped everywhere, still the best, still wearable.
Here is a pic of me in my "Jefferson Airplane Loves You" T, not authentically vintage, but great nonetheless....
The best one I own is definitely my red sleevless Descendents Bonus Tour shirt with full color artwork of a carton man drinking a cup of coffee on the front., totally worn to perfection...unfortunately no picture.
not necessarily the best tshirts i own cuz that would be my tv tshirt my lil cousin made for me out of puffy paints. but these were on my photobucket. mostly food related joints.
weiner joint in slo
japanese fishcake (kamaboko)
kebab kid british boner dog fast food joint.cant really see it but im way up in the top left by the record players. coincidentally this dj set up was up against a cliff which i accidentally fell off of that nite whilst holding a new order bizarre love triangle 12"
po' folks diner "im po but im proud" logo on the back that is awesome. this is a real shitty picture tho on a nite when i went all around socal eating pastrami burritos aka the original fusion cuisine and i had the fire shits for 2 days .
