Screen Stars Tag, real or fake.

Post by mfin433 »

I recently acquired a concert shirt with a screen stars tag. The problem is, is that I have never seen a screen stars tag that big before. They also have a different back. I will show you the pics. The screen stars on the right is a legit screen stars tag.

Worry not both are real. One of the slight variations of the tag we've been looking into. I believe the left one is the first incarnation of the slanted tag design with the fat font after the initial 1980 horizontal layout.

Thanks JimmyJ. Your website was so important in my knowledge of vintage shirts. I have been collecting and selling on EBay for about 5 years and your guide to "Vintage Tees 103: The Brands" was the best tool I ever received. Thank you.

How about this? Thought it was interesting. It's on a Genesis '80 Tour shirt that I'm not sure the authenticity of.

Hi.
I have another question.
Can you explain the difference between the three shirts? Are 1 and 2 the same shirts? If yes, why are labels different? And do you know anything about the weight of the 3 shirts? Number 3 is much thinner than the other two. Thanks Jan

I think the one with FOTL is the most recent. 1 and 3 are not the same - 1 is printed on the same type of shiny fabric/material as 2 - and the material of 3 is more like the original screen stars tees - no sheen.

In order of issue it's likely 3, 1, 2

I hope you can help me. Is it original or not? And which year is it? Found on a tour shirt from 1992 in Germany. Thank you
