I've got 103 and probably more Stones t shirts from many sources going back to 1975. A lot are from shows, including boot t shirts sold outside the venue,a tone off eBay, private dealers/creators of Stones T Shirts such as Keith Richards Athletic Club, a few from stores, what else, more.
A really nice one I have shows a shot of the band from the foto session where they shot the inside cover of Sticky Fingers, just a plain black and white foto. I could go on -- lots of descriptions and stories of cool stonesshirts.
BUT, I am looking so hard and VERY BADLY WANT at least the following two:
1) the Voodoo Charlie t shirt based on Ronnie's painting of the same title,

I have seen this once on eBay and bought it -- a brand new one -- and I wore it throughout much of Europe during the Stones tour in June 07 but when someone else (I assume) took my bag at the Tel Aviv airport, it was gone, along with some other Stones gear and a nice Who shirt. Some of that I have been able to replace. But not the Charlie shirt.
I simply cannot find it anywhere since, though I continue to search eBay and the web in general and put out occasional posts looking for it. Heck, even Matt Lee has looked for it for me. I was told that the entire set of Voodoo t shirts -- one for each member of the band -- was sold at the Licks shows and while I have found like Mick and Keith on eBay, Voodoo Charlie seems unobtainable, just no where. I did see it a few times worn by people on the ABB tour, but that has been it.
So, if any one knows of one or would like to sell theirs, I just NEED it. Or trade for it.
2) The venue shirt that was made for the Bridges to Babylon MSG shows, with the BTB giant lion looming over the skycrapers of Manhattan, just a cool shirt.

Saw it on eBay twice within a week or so of each other and twice hit the place bid button just a little too late (once because my damn computer took forever to boot up) and the auction ended before my bid could even get in. At least once this resulted in a great deal of remorse, self-recrimination,and screaming at myself, waking up my family. This was like two years ago and I have not seen it since.
So, if anyone out there has or knows of where I can obtain these, I would be much obliged and would be more than fair in both paying/trading for them and would even pay a "commission" to anyone who is able to find one for me.
Thanks.
