Vintage Iron Maiden concert shirts are held in high esteem by collectors. I've sold a LOT of vintage concert tour t shirts on eBay and I'd have to say that Iron Maiden fans are some of the most hard core when it comes to getting the shirts they want. Iron Maiden formed in 1975 and then exploded in the U.S. in 1982. They had a string of hit albums and I personally remember myself and many of my friends wearing those freshly minted concert t shirts back in the '80s.
Iron Maiden Shirt
Concert shirts are a classic second hand sale item. Many people want their vintage t shirt to look like it took a beating. I sold about 160 concert shirts last summer after I bought a couple massive collections and couldn't store them anymore. If you have any of these floating around, you might want to consider listing them for sale. I'm sure someone would appreciate it. You might also want to hang on to it. It looks like they are getting pretty collectible.
If you are looking specifically for an Iron Maiden shirt, you have a pretty good chance of finding it on eBay. I know I'm not the only one who looks for vintage concert t-shirts when I go out shopping. Some of the Iron maiden shirts go for some pretty high prices, but that just shows the devotion of those people buying them.
Probably the most popular Iron Maiden concert tour t-shirts I've seen selling on eBay are the ones from 1982 and 1983, but pretty much anything original and vintage from the early to mid eighties does very well for sellers.

I had a pretty good collection of my own concert shirts from back in my high school days and just haven't been able to bring myself to sell them off yet. I guess I'm hanging on to my youth through them or something. I also thought it would be pretty funny to bust out an old Iron Maiden shirt someday when one of my daughters brings home some boy to meet her family! Just kidding.
If you are going to buy an Iron Maiden shirt that is vintage, first of all, be sure to ask if the shirt is true vintage and not a reproduction. Most sellers who know anything about selling vintage shirts will be sure to include a photo of the copyright date printed on the shirt (if there is one). Another thing to remember when buying vintage clothing is that things were not "supersized" quite so much back in the eighties and earlier. A 1980's extra large is sometimes more like what a large is today. If the seller hasn't included actual measurements of the item, ask for them, and then compare those measurements to those of a shirt you know fits well. There is no sense in buying the shirt if it doesn't fit unless you are planning to hang on to it as an investment or you plan to display it. I've sold a few of these Iron Maiden t-shirts that I did not originally own. I may be listing some from my own collection soon. Until then, here are some of the ones available now on eBay.
