Item: Vintage 80s Wellsboro, Pennsylvania Shirt
Bought for: $1
Sold for: $5
Title: Vintage 80s Yes There Is Wellsboro Pennsylvania shirt
Description: Well, is there a Wellsboro, PA? The answer, given definitively by this shirt, is a resounding, "YES!" Should we know something about this curious city? Once again, YES!
Wellsboro, PA, estimated population of 3,328 and home to "Forest & Stream" sportswriter George W. Sears (1821-1890), is located just across the NY/PA border in Tioga County. It was named in honor of Mary Wells, wife to one of the settlers of the town, and, I'm sure, one heckuva woman.
Want more interesting Americana? Wellsboro was home to one of the first lightbulb factories in America, is the start of one end of the "Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania" (the Pine Creek Gorge), and today is home to the Wellsboro Diner, which, according to Google Reviewer Lisa D., has "the best fries". So stop on by, and tell 'em this auction sent ya.

Vintage Pittsburgh Pirates Shirt
Item: Vintage Pittsburgh Pirates Shirt
Bought for: $1.50
Sold for: $4.99
Title: Vintage 90s Pittsburgh Pirates Shirt Soft L XL
Description: The word "Pirate" is from the Greek "peirates", which means "brigand". Wikipedia defines piracy as "a war-like act committed by a non-state actor, especially robbery or criminal violence committed at sea, on water, or sometimes on shore". Bearing this in mind, I can't think of a more apt name for the baseball team from Pittsburgh than the Pirates. I mean, the names Zane Smith, Mike LaValliere, and Don Slaught are pretty much synonymous with the above descriptions. Remember how Andy Van Slyke used to swing in to CF on a chandelier? Or how Orlando Merced would use a scabbard to sheath his bat? And who could forget John Smiley bringing an 1850s Colt revolver to the mound for Game 7 of the 1991 NLCS? Is anyone still reading this? Anyway, relive the glory years of the Pirates with this shirt!
The shirt is an Extra Large and measures 19" pit-to-pit. It is 50% cotton, 50% polyester, and made by Logo 7. It is from 1991. This is in great vintage condition! Thanks for looking!

Key West T-shirt
Item: Vintage Key West T-shirt
Bought for: $1
Sold for: $3.99
Title: Vintage 80s Key West Parrot Shirt XL L SOFT Cotton Poly
Description: I could feel the cool breeze nipping at the hairs on the nape of my neck. The moon hung low in the sky, almost mocking me as it illuminated the expanse of desert I had to cross with the treasure I'd just looted from an Incan temple. This was going to be one long night. Who knew a chest full of golden doubloons would be so heavy? Luckily, I had on my 50/50 Key West Parrot shirt. It's light weight kept me cool and the front of it kept sand off my sweating body. As I hauled the chest across the sand, a huge asp rose up in the wind, its little eyes full of fury. I knew the sweat on my brow would mess with its heat-vision, but oh no! The shirt! It had absorbed my body heat, but not my sweat! I was a dead man walking! The asp lowered its reptilian head, lunged, and bit me square in the shirt. I wrested the snake from my shirt and beat it to death, but the damage had been done: I now had two little holes near the neck. Drats!
Either that, or I caught the shirt on a piece of metal as I was picking it up a few days ago. Which story do you believe?
The jersey is an Extra Large, and fits like a large. It is made by Screen Stars. It is super soft and 50% Cotton, 50% Polyester. This is in great vintage condition except for the little holes near the neck! Thanks for looking!
