Don't get me wrong. I like a nice White Sox t-shirt as much as the next fan, but $28.00 is a bit steep for a cotton/poly blend t-shirt. That's just my opinion.
I'm both tall and a little on the heavy side, so typically, I wear 2X, 2XT, or 3X size shirts, depending on the cut and manufacturer. Unfortunately, these t-shirts are only available in small, medium, large and extra large. What if Adam Dunn wanted to wear one of these t-shirts? I'm thinking that a tall, muscular guy like him would be out of luck. I see an extra large t-shirt fitting Adam Dunn like a baby doll tee.
Even if I wanted to pay $28 for a t-shirt and I was able to squeeze into one, would I want to pay $9.29 just to get it to my residence? I would have to, since that is the ONLY option available for shipping.
For the biggest option, an extra large t-shirt, I would have to pay $37.29 to get it delivered to my door if I failed to have a coupon code.
No thanks, Topps. That is nearly twice what I'm willing to pay for the convenience of getting a t-shirt (not a polo or dress shirt, mind you) delivered to my door. You lost me at $28 a t-shirt. I clicked off your website when I saw $9.29 shipping.

Cool shirt though. But yeah, that's a little steep. I can't think of any reasonable shipping method, even with handling costs, that should cost that much for a single t-shirt.
It seems to me that Topps charges top dollar for everyting on their website. Maybe you can find one cheaper on the secondary market.
Q: Is A T-Shirt Worth $37.29?
A: No
Especially since there isn't even a Padres version, which should read (if it existed):
"You can hang a star on that baby!"
Want my opinion? Screen cap the logo. Buy a cheaper t-shirt and fabric paint. Make it yourself.
As long as you don't sell it, Topps can't stop you. I have been thinking about doing that to the shirts I see that read "I'm still calling it Comiskey". $30? I don't think so.
I'm sure I'll find it on the secondary market both cheaper and in larger sizes.
I may look into making my own shirts.
pirates!
Hey, I remembered your post about this shirt when I ran across this:
http://www.homage.com/store/tees-tops/t-shirts/sports/baseball/comiskey-park
They have sizes to 3XL. The retail price is the same and shipping is $5.95, but you can save 25% when you use my referral link. (I get a kickback)
