Why People Collect T-Shirts
There are many people who collect things. In fact, the reasons why they collect the things they collect are as varied as the subjects of their collections. Even if you are not intentionally a collector, chances are that you do own several items of a specific kind that would point to the start of some type of collecting activity.
Much of this comes from our childhood where we learn the importance of having some of our own possessions and the value that brings to us.
But why do people collect t-shirts? Here are a few of the reasons.
1 – A Valued Memento
Maybe you attended an event where you picked up a t-shirt that was produced just for that activity. A live concert would be a good example of this. In addition to picking up a CD of the band performing, a t-shirt would make a good keepsake and reminder of that great show. After attending more concerts, you would end up with a small collection of concert t-shirts that would not only fill your wardrobe but bring back fond memories of those crazy, good times.
2 – A Fan Souvenir
Your favorite sporting team or the team from your hometown or the school/university you attend is going to have t-shirts. These are fun t-shirts as they will come in team colors, feature the team name, logo and additional branding unique to the team. These make great collectables as you can not only show off your team loyalty, but you can keep adding to them. Each time the team releases a new design or update for the upcoming game season you’ll want to have one.
3 – A Tourist Souvenir
If you have gone on a vacation to somewhere you have never been to before, you probably picked up a t-shirt from that exotic locale as a keepsake. It isn’t unusual and tourists tend to seek these kinds of souvenirs. The best thing about a souvenir holiday t-shirt is that it is something you can wear and it will remind you of a certain time and place. Collecting t-shirts from holiday trips is an affordable way to collect some kind of souvenir from your regular travels.
4 – A Rare Find
Then there are those t-shirt collectors who are seriously out to find rare and unusual t-shirts. These are the collectors who rarely wear their finds opting instead to store or display them for others to see. This kind of collecting takes a certain skill as not all t-shirts are considered collectable and the condition of them has a huge bearing on value. However, t-shirt collecting seriously or for fun is rewarding regardless of the incentive and the value of the find.
