t shirt graveyard - swans time is money

here is a vintage swans GREED / HOLY MONEY era shirt that i bought on ebay at least 7 or 8 years ago.  i paid about $25 for it at the time.  sadly, i never wear it cuz it's a bit delicate and it's very thin.  i ADORE the design, it's got that early brut minimalistic style that all SWANS merch apparently had back in the mid 80s.

    a part of me says yes, because i'll probably never wear it.. but another part of me says to hold on to it. i would hate to be an asshole and ask for a lot of money for it, even though the shirt is from the mid 80s and worth a bit. it's hard to say really. i guess i would need to think about it. no one's asked to buy any of my shirts.

    omg i can never find vintage shirts of bands i deeply love or if i do theyre entirely unaffordable (like i swear those poeple who sell all those vintage shirts on etsy must have bots set up that buy cheap vintage shirts the second theyre listed on any major clothing sale website like ebay or poshmark or etc.)

    i would die for this shirt. omg. any chance that, a decade later, and almost to the day even, you might still have this shirt hanging around the back of your closet or folded and safely put away in a bin.... that would make my day/week/month.
