Donkey Kong Cereal shirt
Well, I know the donkey kong cereal items are collectible (as are all video game cereal items as there is a cross popularity with 2 collecting worlds).
I got this DK cereal shirt - and Im pretty sure it was a promo only, as, I don't think they sold these items at retail.
I thought I recalled 1 to 2 years back, a DK cereal shirt sold for $100? Anyways, just wanted some opinion on value - maybe from someone who knows items from that era, or, the DK cereal stuff.
I cant find any info anywhere about the shirt...
Thanks!!

It looks like if you added a few buttons to the lower hem it would be a "onesie"
thats what I was thinking. Who designs a t-shirt like that??
Just wondering. What size is that?
Extra Medium?

Its actually a Youth Small. Im hoping, that, the bottom wasn't cut. The person I bought it from says this is how they initially came. I've seen shirts like it, so, I am kind of leaning in that fashion.

yeah it looks very tiny. I am pretty sure the shirt came like that. I have a few of those styled shirts and they all look cut at the bottom.

Thats what my thoughts were. I know I've seen vintage 80's football shirts shaped this way at times, so, I was leaning to the fact it did come this way.
I do agree though, it is very similar to a onsie. lol. I really hope it wasn't part of a pajamas set
$100-$175, depending on condition. The size cuts the price down quite a bit, as if it was an adult size (which is far more rare), it would be $250+. If it is NOS (New Old Stock/Never Worn or Washed), double the price. DK cereal lists in my cereal boxes guide (unopened) as $300-500, and folded as $125-200, IIRC, and the T-Shirt would be a bit less than the box, as although fewer were made, more were likely saved.
Yea, I would say it was the adult version that sold at open auction for $100+ if I recall correctly. I believe it was 1-2 years back, and I havent seen another since. I guess the rarity / price is why!

I would say you could get $100-$150 for it pretty easily. I had a similar shirt I sold privately a year or so back in that range.
Also, the shirts definitely came like that (at the bottom). Old style baseball shirts were produced this way, and many companies will simply just copy that look. It's simply the difference between a shirt that's been folded and hemmed vs. one that has simply been cut. Maybe there was a significant cost difference back in the day between selling shirts "unhemmed" and actually taking the time to do so.
This was the most common promo graphic for DK items of the era. The difference is, on this shirt it actually says "CEREAL" below the title. There was a lot of apparel...even trucker hats, which had this logo on, but those six little letters set this one apart.
Wait, the most common promo graphic for DK has Mario and DK squishing Walnuts with a hammer?
