Someone sent this to me recently. A super rare Magnum P.I. crew t-shirt from the Pilot!

Very nice indeed!!!
Are you going to display it in a shadow box or?????

Nice one, I hope they sent you the actual shirt and not just the pic! I dont recall ever seeing that shirt before. I have managed to pick up some neat MPI crew items over the years myself. I have crew t-shirts from 87 & 88, a couple of different crew hats, and the 86 crew watch that TS gave out for Xmas. These are such great pieces of Magnum history.

No, I don't have the shirt, just the picture! Sorry, I should have been more clear. I wouldn't expect someone to just give me their rare MPI crew shirt.

Neat! Got any pics of the shirts and hats? Would love to see them.

I would be happy to take some pics of my magnum gear to share with the group. Is the easiest way for me to open something like a photobucket account, upload the photos, and post a link to them? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Awesome, thanks Jake!

Yeah, you need to upload the pics to a host. Once the photo has a public url, you come to the forum and then wrap the url with [IMG] tags.

Photobucket should work, same for ImageShack (http://imageshack.us/).

I finally got around to taking some pics and figuring out how to post them. Here are a couple of crew hats and a crew t-shirt from the ’88 season. I have another crew shirt from an earlier season as well as another crew hat; however these items are not here at my Michigan home so pics of those will have to come later.

Here is a great MPI crew item (one of the best in my opinion). This belt buckle was a gift for the cast/crew and was presented by Tom Selleck upon wrapping filming of the final episode. The buckle is a real beauty and was made by renowned western artist/sculptor Al Shelton.

This custom Bulova Accutron watch was a Christmas gift given to the cast/crew by Tom Selleck in 1986 and is one of my favorite MPI treasures.

It is probably hard to tell what this is, but this is definitely the rarest MPI item that I own. These are actual 35mm frames cut out of a reel from the final Magnum PI episode. These came from a film editor who worked on the show for 5 years who kept them as a memento of his time in the editing room (some of my other crew items also came from the same person). These frames are part of the main title sequence and come from reel #1 (of 10) of the final 2-hour episode – there were 5 film reels per one hour episode (each reel was a 1000 feet and 16 frames make up a foot). Composite 35mm print has the soundtrack on the side of the print and the sound runs two feet ahead of the picture when it runs thru the 35mm movie projector. After editing the reels of 35mm composite print would be transferred to video tape for distribution to the TV stations.

Here are some pics of a bit of my “Magnum Gear”. If there is interest I may spend the time to take and share pics of the rest of my Magnum gear, crew items, memorabilia, tie-ins, etc. I have ended up with quite a bit of stuff over the years. I also might try and scan some photographs I have from a collection of personal photos obtained from a crew member who worked on the show for the entire series – there are pics of sets, location shots, candids of cast members – a real nice collection of behind the scenes photos.

OH MY GOD JAKE!!

These photos are awesome, keep them coming! So many cool collectors items, in particular the caps and the belt buckle.

Not that I think you ever would (and I don't blame you!), but please promise me if you ever plan on selling any of these items you'll let us know on MM!
