Back in 2006, I bought a pair of sized Medium shirts from an artist named "Tomi"
as part of his PodBrix line. At the time he was known for making these LEGO
mini-sets of Apple products, events or commercials.

Here's a Wired article from 2006 showing off one of his creations:
https://www.wired.com/2005/02/steve-jobs-in-l/

From my observation, several of these mini sets have gone for thousands of dollars,
which is something I never expected. Back in '06, he also released these
t-shirts. They are a picture of Woz on the front in minifig form, and in his
hand was a 6502 processor clipped on by magnets so you could take it off and
wash the shirt.

I still have both of these. One was the shirt I wore. It's in used, but
not abused condition but the 6502 is lost. The other one is still in the original
shipping box, in it's shipping bag and has it's insert from Tomi.

There were only 300 of these made. Even though they are a fan-made item, considering
the value of the LEGO sets, I wonder if these t-shirts have any value? I've
tried to ask around on places like Reddit and no one has an idea of the price,
though people have agreed that at least the new shirt is probably desirable to
someone. People have also pointed me here, so that's why I'm asking
about it. Does anyone know what these are worth and what's the best way
to sell them at the best price? Thank you (and additional links below)!
