The Classic
The Classic is a red and blue rugby shirt formerly worn by Chris from an unknown time before his discovery by the internet to when he became a Tomgirl, and it was seemingly lost in 2014 to the Destruction of Chris's House.
It had survived at the bottom of a soaked and grimy garbage bag full of clothing. Prompted by the Financhu Crisis, Chris went searching for it in April 2017, hoping to sell it to a fan.
Actually, that shirt was Not totally lost in that fire; to my recollection, it was in a mountain pile of laundry in the laundry room. So, more accurately, it was in one of the black bags down here. I have just dug through the dirty half of those bags, more than ten or twenty of them. Then, in a bag of damp ones, I found the shirt. I took a photo; part of the selling amount will go to better restoring the shirt; I am personally putting it through a page or two in my washer and dryer. Only after sale of the relic, I will be able to afford having it restored to its glory, and I will frame it and add a personal Certificate of Authenticity, before shipping it. Thank you. |
Inspired by the successful sale of the Sonic Totem relic for $1,500 two weeks before, he listed the shirt on eBay for $12,000 minimum, then recorded Live Game Stream - C-Log 04192017 - The Shirt to promote it, donning the shirt for the first time in years. Three days later, the auction ended at $25,100. The winning bidder did not pay.
Humorously, Chris fails to realise that $25,100 is a gross overestimate of how much money would be required to repair a piece of clothing, even those affected by water damage.
