Vintage Find of the Week : A-Team Single Bed Sheets

When I was a kid I loved watching the A-Team… who didn’t? I even had A-Team comic books, stickers, and toys, if I recall correctly I ate Mr. T cereal too. I also recall thinking that the whole team consisting of Col. John “Hannibal” Smith (George Peppard), Lt. Templeton “Faceman” Peck (Dirk Benedict), Capt. H.M. “Howling Mad” Murdock (Dwight Schultz), and Sgt. Bosco B.A. (“Bad Attitude”) Baracus (Mr. T) were the coolest bunch of men on the planet! Too I thought that Faceman played by Dirk Benedict was soooooooo cute. If my recall is correct- I think my Mom had a crush on Hannibal as well… ewwwww!

So you must now it was a big thrill for me to find these vintage A-Team sheets… the only problem with these cuties, besides the fact that I obtained them twenty-five years to late to properly enjoy them- is the other guys were left out of the design. Whoever designed these sheets only put B.A. on them- what’s up with that!

Well regardless- “I love it when a plan comes together.”

    So were you looking specifically for these or did you just happen upon them? And are you keeping them for you/your kids or going to auction them? I’m nosy. :)

  2. Michelle Gartner says

    Teeni- as with all things vintage you don’t really look for anything in particular- the items just come to you… They will probably go up for auction this week- if they don’t sell, I imagine they will go on one of my son’s beds. Not that any of them know who the A-Team is.

  3. teeni says

    Oh, okay. You really ARE like the Fred Sanford of the internet! LOL. You look so cute on the sheets. I checked your ebay site and I love that you model some of the stuff yourself. I’m so jealous of people who look so comfortable in front of the camera.

  4. Michelle Gartner says

    I only model what I can fit- it was depressing to find out that I fit a vintage size 18 &1/2 (the pink gingham dress you are referring to) since I am actually only a size 11- 13 junior… I know I am kind of an old fart to shop the junior section but I am not ready for the Worthington Collection either!

    If you notice I don’t model the vintage lingerie- I use a dummy for that. Some girls model it all on eBay and I am thinking that’s crazy since the buyer has your address. Some chicks get naked and model tools and remote controls on eBay and I am thinking great, that’s stupid, get a real job in porn. Ah Ha ha.

    Boy you are nosy to go snooping through my auctions. lol that’s what this site is here for- to market my vintage junk. Thanks for checking out my auctions.

    I pity the fools who think they need more than Mr. T!

  6. dcr says

    OMG. One of the rooms in my grandmother’s house was the same color as the room you’re modeling your 1950’s dress in!

  7. Michelle Gartner says

    I pity you too fool – I mean Dan…

    “OMG. One of the rooms in my grandmother’s house was the same color as the room you’re modeling your 1950’s dress in!”

    A) I haven’t had a chance to paint the upstairs yet- still working on redoing the closets. This house is from the 1920’s

    B) OMG WTH – why are you checking out my sexy fat chick rockabilly modeling????

  9. dcr says

    B) The room color grabbed my attention and I was looking for antiques on that dresser behind you. You know, so I could write about them before you did, to get back at you for stealing Dingbot from me!!! Nothing much there but that old pillow, which was probably headed for an auction of its own.

    Wow, even Dirk has a website:

    http://www.dirkbenedictcentral.com/

    And according to IMDB, he’s been active in the industry up until 2007.

    On a side note, I can’t believe I just Googled “Dirk Benedict.” The things I do for you… ;)

  11. Michelle Gartner says

    Oh My you googled Dirk- that’s kind of strange… thanks for the link, I am almost afraid to look. I think maybe I should keep my memories intact or well I’ll just peek…

  12. Debo Hobo says

    I pity the fool that……why do you have a measuring tape hanging around your neck? …..can’t measure up….

  13. Michelle Gartner says

    Can’t measure up to what Mr. T? No actually I don’t- he’s larger then life.

    I have a tape measure around my neck because I am working…been ultra busy on eBay.

    Tomorrow’s weekend post kills two birds with one stone… a link to DEBO HOBO and it pisses off DCR… shhhhh!

  14. Debo Hobo says

    Its is so funny to piss DCR off, be careful though he has been doing some creepy things with folks avatar=poor teeni.
