Chompers Varsity is pretty rare. Tokyo only got 4. Based on that calculation probably around 60 or so in the world.
In terms of most expensive retail value wise, a year ago they released a 1 million yen fur jacket which is something like $8500 USD. I suppose that should be rare as well. I've never seen anyone wearing that jacket. I asked the staff at bapexclusive at that time and he said nobody has bought it.

That fur jacket was made of mink. Yea the price was outrageous on it, as b-mann said its 8500 usd. crazy. But yea personally i'd think the super ape star or the Nerd bapestas would be the rarest.

Nerdstas are pretty rare too. Through a raffle advertisement on Men's non-no. I think it was 100 pairs limited.

I think there are more levels or rarity with Bape at the moment:

-The stuff from the last 3-4 years, which is hard to find but it pops up every now and then( like Super Ape Stars, black Sharks, OG Camo's)

-And the stuff from back in the 90's, when Bape was as rare as hell and hardly known to anyone outside of Japan. Tees and hoodies and whatever else from then is rare as hell.

And some of the collabs, like supreme X Bape, are also rare.

Just some random thoughts ^^'.

I have an OG yellow camo full zip, which was the first full zip camo hoody released , back in the winter of 2001.
Not sure how rare it is really. I guess having one in the states is more rare than having one in Japan....

They did just re-release the full zip yellow / green camo hoodies tho....

I'm assuming that the new re-released versions dont have the natural faded look that i like. Does anyone know if they have the same fade or the same tags, cuz my OG one has the old A Bathing Ape tag on the inside....

I have a Desert camo which came out before and is much rarer :)

No one here is going to have the rarest Bape items as it will be one off`s Nigo did for James Lavelle and his other friends.

OG phantom camo. There was two versions, the one I have and the black and white one. Black and white is the rarest of the phantom camos.

j-dwys
03-06-2007, 06:00 PM
yea like someone said, there are levels of rarity. cause an original shark may seem rare to some but at the same time if you've seen em around they cant be all that rare ... but its a realistic grail at least

then there is the old school shirts when thats all nigo made which are no doubt very few left in existence lol, nevermind seein a pic

then theres rarity by number of pieces made too.

j2daedubblef
03-06-2007, 09:16 PM
the LV dude is proof that you can't buy style no matter how much you spend...plus it seems to me that the Millionaires are kinda "outta style" and all the people that got them cuz they had the hookup when they first came out and were impossible to get with the hugeeee waitin list have sold them off to people and moved onto the current cool pair of shades to have, you can get em off ebay just about all the time now so they can't be that rare...anyone can get em if you got a G to waste on shades

i'd say the nerdstas are rare, i think popolove was the dude on here that had a pair? gendiaz had some rare ice cream shoes also i believe...i'd say outta new shit the milo x fendi toy would be exclusive since you had to go to the party to get one...

co-sign on the fiend X Milo thing..to buy it..it worth like 1,000?? sthing like that

there is a dude on ebay right now trying to sell it at rape price and his item descrip is all a big lie basically, i actually remember seein an auction not too long ago on the bay that was sellin it at a more fair price of like 700 bucks and i almost bought it but decided it would be too silly, today i was bored at work so i went back and forth with the dude currently sellin it tellin him off about how all his item listings are full of lies and hype and how he is sellin at rape to try to get more than the damn thing is worth, no f'in way that thing is worth the 2 G's he is currently trying to get for it. now if it was a fendi x bape piece of clothing then it would be a different story...

I know where there is a Black and White but I dont think its that great or that rare. You have to remember most of this stuff is easy to get in Japan its just the fact that you are outside Japan which makes it difficult.

Something that they only made one of and you cant find for love or money is rare most of the things people are talking about are pretty easy.

you're the king of saying everything is easy to get and you know where everything is yet you never ever tell anyone where to get it even if you have no interest in it yourself, as it seems to be with this phantom camo shirt...sorta reminds me of that "how to be a hypebeast" video that was posted on here from youtube not too long ago, its like the lil kid that always says he knows a major secret but he wont tell anyone so noone ever knows if he's full of BS or not, most of the time they are...

He is right though, most people lack imagination in their grails or are easily pleased. Most stuff is easy to get, and the reason why people won't say where to find something is that even though you may not want this item, the place will surely get other items you do want in the future. So the more people that know about it, the less chance you will have to get something at a decent price from there in the future.

lack imagination in their grails? Surely its down to personal opinion or self worth.

Why should I tell you though as you are a major league hater. Perhaps if you didnt persistently come out with the rude attitude in relation to virtually anything I post, I might be a bit more willing to help you out. I am more than happy to help out nice people but all you seem to do is moan, whine and snipe so I dont see why you deserve anything. Remember respect has to be earned and if you are constantly rude to people you cant expect them to want to help you out.

I dont personally care what you think of me you just seem to be a bit obsessed with me. Oh and I dont get anything on Yahoo Japan but if you can find stuff on there good luck.

BTW you are totally right its all lies and my entire collection is photoshopped. I actually dont own any Bape or Neighborhood whatsoever and actually buy all my clothes from the local charity shop.

You really are disproving the theory of how stupid one person can be with your continued moronic posts.

WTF???? math league? not gettin into college? grow up? you obviously don't know me at all man hahahaha, i've already graduated from college for one, you're crazy seriously hahaha, i obv got under your skin pretty bad huh?

Suits me fine. I dont really care for your opinion you are probably only about 12 or something like that. You call me a hypebeast but you were the one who wanted to buy a Milo x Fendi Keychain for a stupid amount.

I am very greedy thats why I am selling stuff for less than its worth such as an 2nd Gen Red Camo for £210 when most resellers want £300 at least.

As for you being obsessed with me, thats my opinion. It would appear that I am not the only person who thinks that you have issues, so do me a favour and go and annoy someone else because you are now officially on ignore.

I got a tee from 1997 maybe 1996, its got a paramont style picture with ape head on front with "very ape" instead of bathing ape,this was passed on to me as gift by my friend who owned to shop with a stussy account,the tee was given to him by michael koppleman of stussy/gimmie 5,also i have 2 more tees from 1998,one wht with a toothpaste/paint tube with "a bathing ape" in bubblegum writting and a yellow tee which grades into orange with ape college logo and face on fron,the labal is a "nowwhere company" label...................old sckool as they come i think!!! bought from hit and run which of course is now "hideout".
I remember Frazer cooke bringing them out the back for me,they did nt even show them on display at this early stage of 1998,haha think he enjoyed the view of my fab ex girlfriend at the time who was a damm hot chik!!!

Very Ape was the british licensed version of Bathing Ape they used to sell it at Bond but stopped when Hit and Run opened. Hit & Run/Hideout used to have some great Bape pieces later on but they of course stopped selling them the Bape store opened. I am not sure what happened to the stuff that never got sold as I dont recall it turning up at BWS.

Frazer is a really nice bloke he is now director of special projects at Nike. I asked him once why he never seemed to get excited about Bape and his response was "When you spend all day looking at it, its just another clothing line" he was one of the founding members of Mo Wax, used to put on wicked club nights, had all these amazing connections like Futura, Nigo and Stash and the guy was so humble it was untrue.

What actually constitutes rare? Number in the original run? or how many are still in existence? How rare are the original sharks? Number produced? Just curious, because aside from the one of one stuff, collabs, and FUR, most people are holding up OG hoodies and the shark as being rare. Are we talking 20 ever made, or 250? or 2000? Shit dudes, I am clueless. I'd like to think I have some rare goods :-)

Rare would be something that was produced in limited number maybe less than 5. The thing people are forgetting is before about 4 years ago Bape was produced in Ltd numbers and only one place outside Japan which was Hideout was officially allowed to sell it.

I think pre 2000 runs of Bape tees were about 200 each.

I would say that anything released to the public in the lowest numbers available would be considered the most rare.
Obviously one offs , that were given to friends and family shouldn't count cuz most of us on here (excluding Rosstopher who said he rode in Nigo's car) would never be able to obtain such an item .

With that said...can people list the items that were released to the public in the lowest numbers....

Also....would a print defect be considered rare or just a fucked hoody that someone got owned on...
(like baseball card defects actually raise the price....sometimes)

not really that rare but does anyone have any info on the below, got it off a fella for a fair whack the other day...

1.what's inside? is it this "respect is mutual" tee, or the box tee (with the tongue logo graphic)?
2. what's the going rate for this (before I totally ruin the resale price by taking it out for a soak and finding out it's too small!)?

I have a Desert camo which came out before and is much rarer :)

No one here is going to have the rarest Bape items as it will be one off`s Nigo did for James Lavelle and his other friends.
