Is the original Dirty Frank t-shirt a "holy grail" item?

gregsaintmgregsaintm Posts: 12
I was at the iconic Drop in the Park show back on 9/20/92 and still have my XL black Dirty Frank t-shirt as well as my Music For Rhinos tee. The Dirty Frank shirt is in really good condition --- only worn a handful of times and in storage the rest of the 32 years --- and the Music For Rhinos is in good but more worn condition. No holes, nicks, tears, fading, etc.  I'm just wondering what exactly I've got on my hands before I consider parting with it. Does anyone have a feel for the value and rarity of either shirt? I'd appreciate anyone with knowledge of these things weighing in!

    Holy Grail item is whatever you want the most. I'm sure to a few it might be.

    The use of the word holy grail may seem like an attempt to get a load of money

    Grail, no.  Cool as hell?  Yes.

    I just saw this post from PJ and was wondering if it was over the top rare or something since I have one and they singled it out. I would consider selling or trading it but not knowing the real value I just didn’t want to short change myself and do anything foolish that I’d regret later on, that’s all…..

    My biggest memories of the show (I was one day shy of turning 17) are the size of the crowd, thinking we were seeing their last show ever as Eddie was surely going to die falling from that scaffolding, how awesome Sonic Reducer sounded, seeing the late, great Shawn Smith perform along with Lazy Susan, Cypress Hill and others and emceed by Jim Rose from the Jim Rose Circus Side Show. It was so amazing. Here’s a photo of my shirt. I had a few others that I got there too since they were all just $10 (plus the free show and getting bussed to and from the show all for free too) but only this, the Black shirt w/candles on the front and Music For Rhinos survived.
