1. 

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

2. 

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

3. 

   Vera BullockHot 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 LedgerNOT. The shirt isn't saying anything. The app is.

5. 

   Dale BearmanHot take: in one Bidstitch example, a vintage tee ran from one dollar to two hundred twenty-five dollars in estimated value.

6. 

   Dale BearmanThat's the whole market, and it's held together with a camera.

7. 

   Hank LedgerHOT. 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 BullockExcuse me, that's a shrug with upside.

9. 

   Dale BearmanUpside of one dollar, Vera. I've seen your podcast numbers.

10. 

    Hank LedgerMy final take is the hottest.

11. 

    Hank LedgerI 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.
