Most of us have a drawer full of old t-shirts we don’t wear anymore - often picked up at long-forgotten concerts as souvenirs.
Think twice before binning them during your annual spring clean though, because some of these items of clothing are now worth serious money.
The recent Oasis reunuion announcement has seen huge interest in vintage t-shirts from their glory days three decades ago, but there’s a market for a wide range of band merchandise - the rarer the better.
To see what’s reaching the biggest prices, we looked at the most expensive band t-shirts to sell on eBay over the last six months in the UK.
So, here’s what you should look out for next time you’re organising your clothes.

8. Sonic Youth: £560-£580
Another entry for Sonic Youth. This t-shirt was made especially for the band's appearance at the 1993 Phoenix Festival. One lucky seller had two of them - bid up to £560 and £580 in June. Wonder how many tickets you could have got for the festival for £1,140. | Contributed
