The New York Times Weighs 'True Vintage' Clothing

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorVintage clothing is expensive and subject to trends, but the gems still delight, according to The New York Times.

2. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorOne app, Bidstitch, says it can identify, date and price a piece of vintage clothing from a photo. Vera, you're up.

3. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHot take: every scan comes with a confidence score, so a shirt is now exactly as old as the app is sure it is.

4. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNOT. The shirt isn't saying anything. The app is.

5. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHot take: in one Bidstitch example, a vintage tee ran from one dollar to two hundred twenty-five dollars in estimated value.

6. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThat's the whole market, and it's held together with a camera.

7. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHOT. A range that wide doesn't tell you much. One dollar to two hundred twenty-five is a guess with a decimal point.

8. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorExcuse me, that's a shrug with upside.

9. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorUpside of one dollar, Vera. I've seen your podcast numbers.

10. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMy final take is the hottest.

11. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI own a sixties Princeton shirt, it's my dad's, and I've never washed it, so it's worth either two hundred fifty dollars or nothing.
