The record-setting sale of a 1979 <b>LED ZEPPELIN</b> t-shirt on <b>eBay</b> has sent ripples through the competitive vintage clothing community. The item was sold by <b>Kyle Ermatinger</b> of <b>Stormcrow Vintage</b>, one of the top online destinations for sought-after authentic vintage tees. The recent completion of the transaction places the purchase as the world's rarest and most expensive vintage t-shirt.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">"When I got the sale notification, my jaw hit the floor," </span><b style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Ermatinger</b><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"> said. "Given this shirt may be one of the only ones in existence, the price tag is completely justifiable. It's a rock relic, beyond rare. Admittedly, I still frequently pinch myself."</span><br /><br />As the most scarce <b>LED ZEPPELIN</b> t-shirt ever produced, the article was printed in limited quantity as a unique way to replace conventional backstage passes for one of the band's historic 1979 Knebworth House concerts. <b>Ermatinger</b> acquired the item for $123 from the family who ran the shop that screen-printed the original shirts. "At the time, I thought I may have overpaid, until I got back home, looked it up online and noticed it was ranked #1 as the rarest <b>ZEPPELIN</b> t-shirt."J.J.http://www.blogger.com/profile/18408701665177838439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8879376758361839932.post-16010405763792965782011-05-11T10:07:00.002-05:002011-05-11T10:10:24.184-05:00Fox Loves Them Some Aerosmith<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihNZDJOUzGnA2HSKw0zkgKpqwosJrRZwuJ9cr44c5ifm1Vh204_q2es4n38AUzk17oFer9wzSVy0AWqc2zJoCsQbNWt14cY3sAkV9oDD1UzOWH2FZxNC3MtfYUci2EG8RbMoGYqs1tV8s/s1600/simpsons+kramer.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihNZDJOUzGnA2HSKw0zkgKpqwosJrRZwuJ9cr44c5ifm1Vh204_q2es4n38AUzk17oFer9wzSVy0AWqc2zJoCsQbNWt14cY3sAkV9oDD1UzOWH2FZxNC3MtfYUci2EG8RbMoGYqs1tV8s/s320/simpsons+kramer.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605475910954543218" border="0" /></a><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><b><span>Aerosmith</span></b><span> drummer <b>Joey Kramer</b> is stepping out on his own for an appearance on the season finale of <i>The Simpsons</i>.
