Apparently I'm old and clueless. I had to Google "Supreme Box Tee." And I still don't know why they're so special and what makes them so expensive. What gives?

The Supreme brand is valuable because they limit their releases, and got lucky that people like it that much

Artificial scarcity and people like it

and this guy managed to get releases from before 2007, when it wasn’t as globally popular, making it even scarcer

they go for thousands
