An original Grateful Dead T-shirt from 1967sold for $17,640 through Sotheby’s on Friday, Oct. 15, breaking the record for the most expensive vintage rock shirt sold at auction.
Designed by Hells Angel and graphic artist Allan “Gut” Terk, the simple yellow tee sold for nearly twice as much as a Led Zeppelin shirt from that band’s 1979 concerts at Knebworth, which previously held the record for selling for $10,000 in an eBay auction in 2011.
