This Week On Ebay: Shirts and Show Memorabilia

I haven’t done a cool ebay wrap up in a bit so lets get back to it. I recall many people were fans of this segment, but I’ve been busy. I’ve actually been surfing ebay a lot less lately. Weird.

But lets get back into the swing of things. Here are a few items you may have missed or didn’t have the scratch to purchase.

This is a gem. You’ve all heard the story about how all those Wishingwell records were stolen out of their van. And some that actually made it to stores were melted on porches. OUCH. So this guy is pretty damn limited at this point. If you own both red and blue, you’re either a true fan, or someone with DEEP pockets.

This one sold for WAY less than I was expecting. I suppose it’s only a few months old but it has a ton of things going for it. A) white tees rule! B) white tees with purple ink RULE. C) Big screens, lots of chill mix tapes and sleeve print. D) It’s a friggin COLD WORLD tee folks! Cold World merch is usually solid gold as far as ebay goes. No idea. I think it’s chill. Maybe kids are against size Large white tees. That’s ok. More for me.

This shirt is cool. I own this particular colorway. Anyone got a maroon and white one for me? There should be a ton of these tees floating around somewhere. I recall seeing BOXES and BOXES of these arrive at the show. More than expected, I think. Maybe they were all bought by Merrimack Valley heads, who knows?

This is a cool little souvenir. I don’t know, I like it. Then again, I’m a Bane and In My Eyes nerd. But hey, it was only $4 shipped, and it reminds me of some awesome times that were had that night. I still need to get my screened poster framed. Shit. I have to remember to do that.

I recall buying one of these from Pat a bunch of years ago. It’s a dope shirt, no doubt. I then traded mine plus some other stuff for a Floorpunch on gold. SCORE! Besides the wishingwell 4 sided tee, this is probably my favorite YOT shirt. I mean, look at that back image. Rad.

Some of you may not be familiar with Release. That’s a shame. Release was dope. I’m sure everyone is familiar with the bands these dudes went on to form. I’m sure everyone has heard of Floorpunch and 108 … If you haven’t, how did you even find this website?? This shirt is pretty rad. White tee, green ink. Classic combo. I’ve seen shirts in better quality but finding a mint Release shirt is like finding a Honus Wagner card.

I watched this auction VERY closely. I was hoping to scoop it for cheap. The seller listed it as an “x-rate” watch. Typing “x-rated” into ebay found no matches. I was hoping to scoop for cheap. Especially consider that 3 of the 4 prongs on one end of the watch had snapped off. If it had stayed cheap, I would have scooped and had the parts for an auto conversion. But it jumped in the end. Someone else must have been smart when searching. I heard the new owner may be a member of the band Energy … Cool.

And finally.

OOOOOOOOFFFFFFFFFF. $1? Seriously, $1? Oh man. That sort of pains me. No big deal, I guess. When I sold them on the west coast, kids loved them. I had some lines to deal with and sold a bunch. I put a lot of effort into them. Hell, they are even on unbleached cotton American Apparel tees! Oh well, someone got themselves a deal.

That’s all for this week. We saw highs and lows, scoops and pains. That’s ebay, I guess. Peace.
