Do you have a photo of the back of the tag?

I did find one on eBay that is single stitched:

But I don't think yours is fake, just printed later on. Remember copyrights just show the date the copyright was registered, not always the year the shirt was printed.

This is some sort of throwback, the vintage/worn effect on it is manufactured:

It's likely mid to late 2000s?

Price wise, not a lot. $20?

I think you're okay here - those tags are somewhat interchangeable. Colors being off or being dull can be due to washing and inks used at the time. The tag on the marketplace version looks crispy which helps explain the vibrancy in the print.

The mystery on these tags has never been fully solved, but they appear to be 90s, early 00s, and used on throwback prints. Some say a go-to tag for printers in Japan. They appear quite a bit in Malaysia and Thailand.

The Tee Jays seemed a little odd initially, but I found at least two others on that tag. Wouldn't mind seeing a closeup of the print, and copyright, but from what I can tell it looks a-ok.

One sold for $150 last month.

First of all, THANK YOU for taking the time to compare with photos. This is amazing. This t-shirt is okay. For one, it's a screen print, you can tell by the cracking on both and the halftone dots. The tag is legit. I have yet to discover a fake Brockum collection tag, but this one checks out. Colour...

Good question. I don't have a radar on these at all. But I know there's value there. I checked worthpoint and the brand generally tops out at around $250. I didn't see any of the ones you have in the list.

These ones continue to baffle, take a look at this thread, we did a deep-dive into these, that explains the print variances:
