We carefully inspect all used items before listing them, including this Acme T-shirt. While we can't guarantee it's brand new, we check for significant wear and tear like holes or major stains. If any such issues exist, they are clearly noted in the product description. The "condition: used" tag indicates this is not a new item. Please review the product photos and description to get a clear picture of the shirt's current condition, then reach out if you have further concerns.
