Your Vintage Tee Might Be Worth A Small Fortune

Your Vintage Tee Might Be Worth A Small Fortune

July 20, 2016 // Riot Fest

Nostalgia’s not dead. It’s just way pricier.

But, if you’re going for that vintage look and have some extra coin buried deep within your sofa cushions, here’s your chance because the Captain’s Vintage—an online clothing store specializing in vintage t-shirts—has a wide array of generously priced original shirts, including some head turning first-run touring tees and posthumous 80s marketing swag.

If you’re the perpetual hoarder who refuses to dustbin a 1982 Black Flag sized small t-shirt—even though you’re pushing extra large these days—you might be sitting on something safer than your 401k plan.  And if you need to unload some cardboard boxes chock-full of old tees to make room for the newly christened baby’s room, Captain Vintage will probably pay you some decent dough to take them off your hands.

Nonetheless, we found ourselves milling through the retailer’s website and there are several gems listed:


80s The Ramones Animal Boy Tour t-shirt Small
From 1986, this Ramones shirt is from the Animal Boy Tour. There is no mention on what it smells like. Asking Price: $599.99

80s NWT Wendy’s Original Where’s the Beef Deadstock t-shirt Small
A classic piece of Americana. If you don’t know where the beef is, you really missed out. Asking Price: $49.99

80s Suicidal Tendencies Skull Logo Thrash t-shirt Medium
This Suicidal Tendencies t-shirt is from one of their first east coast tours in the 1980’s. It does have stain on it from what we assume is Pepsi. Asking Price: $399.99

80s Sid Vicious Mug Shot Boy London t-shirt Small
This rare shirt comes from BOY in London and was made in 1979 or 1980 after his arrest for murder. Asking Price: $1,999.99.

80s Blank Off White Screen Stars Soft t-shirt Small
This is not a vintage t-shirt for Plain White T’s, it is literally a plain white t-shirt. Asking Price: $34.99.

80s The Smiths Morrissey Marr Promo Picture t-shirt Small
