I'd be interested to know more about the actual photographed items, as they do seem legit. Where are they and who owns them?

Pickled egg, please!

Apparently this shirt was on display in a large hotel here and when they remodeled they got rid of this! Time to watch every episode again just in case it may be one worn by Tom in the show??

Welcome AussieThrifter! I've been to Wollongong - many years ago now. That stretch of NSW coastline down to Victoria could give many a Hawaiian beach a run for its money. Now, can you clarify what it is you picked up and what was on display?

I too was wondering if AussieThrifter was referring to an actual shirt worn by Tom Selleck on Magnum PI.
You know I never ran across anybody selling props or actor worn clothes or anything from the series till I saw the above link.
I don't recall any Magnum Mania members saying they have anything.
For sure none of the team rings actually worn by the cast have gone on sale, but I assume there must have been cheaper
multiples of them for action scenes etc where you wouldn't want to mar the 'display' ones that the actors had on in close ups of their hands.
I wonder what one of the 'good' ones would be worth? Did the actors get to keep their's? I wonder what Selleck's ring would bring,100, 200 grand?
Styles, what were you doing in NSW? Did you get to Bondi Beach?

Yeah, it'd be great to know if it was the Pickled Egg shirt. I remember more talk of screen worn items back when the forum was really active (a decade ago or so...). Have a search through the archives and you'll find some interesting things. It was probably the best time to sell this sort of Magnum-related stuff, as the DVD release really bumped interest in the show. A quick search from me found this thread about Magnum's camo hat up for sale on ebay for $2500 by member Hendrix. He also says he has an original Da Nang cap too.

As for being in NSW, I spend a year and a half exploring SE Asia, NZ and Australia back in my 20s. Best thing I ever did. I lived in a suburb of Sydney for a few months and saw a lot of NSW before gradually heading up the coast to Cairns then inland to Alice Springs and up through the outback to Darwin. An amazing country.
