Re: [Pantera / Vulgar Display of Power] Does it look like a genuine 1992 Winterland or a perfect contemporary boot?

I think this can be explained by it being a euro-based print - they had double-stitching before it went mainstream here. I can see this print on various tags. Is there anything on the back of the tag? From what I can see the print is okay - but can you upload a closeup of just one or two of the ...

Re: legit check for Pink Floyd Tee with Polygram Tag

This is one that I'm not certain with off the top of my head, because - I know there are fake Polygram tags, and I have yet to do a deepdive into them. Floyd was related to Polygram, so that part makes sense. I can tell it's a screen print. But I can't find any others like it with this tag, have you?

Re: 1996 tied up forever Marilyn Manson

The tag appears to be okay, to my knowledge there's not currently a fake of that version of the Winterland tag - but the rest of the photos are terrible, so I can't check the print.

Re: Iron Maiden AOP on Oneita tag

Both appear to be fake, if you can take a picture of the tag where it's flat, and not folded up - I can compare it better and confirm.

SO I found a similar tag in our database, Ms are in less circulation in terms of Giant - and this one is sewn in. https://www.defunkd.com/product/TH1490016195/1999-lauryn-hill-miseducation-tour-vintage-t-shirt-fugees/ But you'll notice the pit is 19.5 - whereas yours is 20.5 - which is more of a L ...

I would not be as worried about this one as your aerosmith, the measurements are okay - the tag is legit, and U2 generally not a target for this type of fake.

Re: Neil Young/ Pearl Jam tour tee on Hanes Qualy-t tag

I share your concern for this tag, in fact we hate it lol but it appears to be a scarce, legit, and likely Euro tag as you mention. Mid to late 90s. We covered it previously here: https://www.defunkd.com/forum/brands-f13/weird-hanes-tag-on-a-ozzy-shirt-t5799.html even worse there appears to be a few ...

Re: Type O Negative tee This Bloods For You Black No 1

Lee tags are an Enigma, but they often appear on 90s music-related tees. The fact that the tag is there, to me, at this moment in time anyway, legitimizes it - because the idea that a counterfeiter found a blank Lee tag and then printed on it - that's just too far-fetched. That said, I did find ...

Re: Dead Kennedys Erase Racism Tee Anvil Tag

So it's vintage, I feel like it's legit from what I can see - but don't think it was put out in 1997. The double tags didn't appear that early, according to one of our writers, they started in 1999: https://www.defunkd.com/blog/2010/07/29/anvil/ and he has this Honduran one as being in 2000.

Re: 1994 Far Beyond Driven Tour Pantera Shirt

Good eye with the T callout - but this can be explained by the registration during printing being slightly off. I did a comparison with a few others - I don't see any major red flags here. Remember, at the production level, slight mistakes can be made, thicker ink could be applied, there could be ...

Does it have a back print?

Some of the longsleeve shirt versions of this go in the $200 range.

This one more likely in the $100 range.

Re: Iron Maiden AOP on Oneita tag

You know, I'm a touch concerned now because I found a "modern boot" which is actually a counterfeit on a fake ONEITA tag. See attached. So I'm wondering if this is a new ONEITA fake tag, because the prints seem to match.

Welcome! It appears to be ok. I haven't seen a fake version of this tag. The tag can feature a web address in both upper and lower case.

Re: Iron Maiden AOP on Oneita tag

Does not match the current Oneita fake we're aware of, though they do come out fast. Oneita is a tricky one because there's so much variance between legit tags. Spacing, etc.

Can you get a better shot of the front print? close-up?

Gut says this is legit.

I do see some turbogadget stuff getting decent $, like $170 for a GNR vest. But most of it sits unsold.
