Carnegie Deli, once a legendary New York institution, was famed for its towering pastrami sandwiches and celebrity clientele. This T-shirt is part of a promotional run from the 1990s, capturing the restaurant’s tongue-in-cheek humor and larger-than-life presence. The “Not all skyscrapers…” slogan is a playful nod to both New York’s skyline and the deli’s massive sandwiches. The Fruit of the Loom tag confirms its period authenticity, and the double stitching dates it post-1995. Highly sought by collectors of food culture, NYC memorabilia, and 90s streetwear.

FAQ's

VintaBid is Thailand’s first online auction platform specializing in vintage and second-hand clothing. Buyers can bid on unique pieces, and sellers can list their items to reach a fashion-loving community.

We’re launching in May 2025. Sign up now to get early access and a free vintage clothing guide.

Yes, but sellers need to apply for a seller account. This helps us maintain quality and protect the community from fast fashion or fake items.

You’ll find real vintage clothes, curated second-hand pieces, select handmade fashion (new items), and accessories. No fast fashion is accepted — just real style with character.

Each item on VintaBid is listed with a starting bid and a countdown timer. Buyers can place bids until the auction ends — the highest bidder at the closing time wins the item and proceeds to payment.

Buyers also have the option to use automatic bidding. Simply set the maximum amount you’re willing to pay, and VintaBid will automatically increase your bid only as needed to keep you in the lead — up to your limit.

Sellers can customize each listing by setting:

  • A starting price (the initial bid amount),

  • A reserve price (the minimum you’re willing to sell for), and

  • An optional Buy Now price — allowing a buyer to skip the auction and purchase the item immediately.

Yes! You’ll get an email and a message in your VintaBid account as soon as the auction ends.

Yes — once your seller account is approved, you’ll get access to a seller dashboard where you can list, manage, and promote multiple products.
