I think it's a fair estimate, the problem is someone could have used an outdated photo later on, so impossible to know for sure unfortunately but you've done your due diligence!

Welcome!

Love the attention to detail! I found another one of these online, matches yours, same tag. And he switched to number 24 in 2006. Apparently, he started buzzing his hair in 2002. So we know it's vintage. It's legit for sure. Could it be these? https://www.nicekicks.com/files/2016/04/1999-Kobe-EQT ...

Good eye! I did see that woven example in our database from 1990, maybe that's the first DR version? also saw one as late as 98. Maybe the Mexico is later in the timeline? Is there an RN number on the back of yours?

Yup, and I believe are reprinted them recently too. Good eye and great question, lemme see if I can reach out to an expert on this for an explanation. Maybe one is the OG print. I appreciate that, they've been something that I've had my eye on for years, and I would like to pull the trigger on one ...

Never seen and can't find any record of it - anything on the back? and what's the print? pit to pit?

Yeah I think it must be a different company.

Legit, made in Jamaica. Lots of novelty and tourist tees - but also Reggae, especially Marley tees printed on this tag in the 1980s.

awesome!

This one threw me for a bit of a curve ball. First, I can't find any record of that tag in Google images. The company still exists today: innercitymerch.com/band-tshirts but their tags are different now, and it looks like they're using Gildan more than their own tags. It says they've been around ...

Yeah, no problems here! Sting tees generally perform pretty poorly, price wise, so he's not something counterfeitters would go after.

Totally legit. Tag is right I found another version of this on the same tag - measurements check out for size. (it sold for $75 a few years ago.) I think it's just a bit of loose thread, which happens.

Print a-ok!

Looks a-ok to me. Redwood is one of those oddball tags that kinda looks out of place, but it's found on a spattering of different band tees:

Seems to be mid to late 90s, perhaps into the 00s. Does it have an RN number on the back?

The RN indicates it was created at earliest, circa 1968.

It looks like something out of the 90s - but also could be modern.

Not much value here I don't think.

Just google "Saint Michael t-shirts"

Yes, Nirvana - I think this is a Saint Michael shirt, where they make new shirts that are inspired by old prints.

They also have tags that are the same type of thing.

well, you're not going to find one that big for sure, this is your best bet!

I'll def. keep an eye out for that tag tho, who knows, I get surprised all the time.

Cool one! Chances are it's a vintage bootleg, which would explain why they seem a little more scarce, and why the tag is ripped. https://www.defunkd.com/cut-tags/ I don't think it hurts the value, might even increase it a touch. But after pulling legit versions - past sales - it looks like they go ...

I have seen the occasional tag size anomaly, it could have been mis-tagged I guess. I can't find anything wrong with the print - at first it seemed like the colors were off but I was able to find a few others that are in line with yours. Plus, that tag is synonymous with this print. Is that a good ...

Yup saw that Regular All Sport tag, This All Sports is a bit of an anomaly, there's no match for it in google images: https://lens.google.com/search?ep=gisbubb&hl=en-CA&re=df&p=AbrfA8p5oicFvkOgJM06N-6IOgJoqD7XOQYe4f3OrILv8T_qvGM-UeaZQF4mYLJwDifTo36nw3Kx1f-97162XBVrOj4nrG ...

That is bizarre....for that tag, in M to be 21" - do you have the shirt? Sometimes sellers listing goof up and put the wrong pit to pit.

These were printed on various tags. And yes, they have been faked, and most recently reproduced for $19.99. At first glance, that tag, and the measurements, I don't think you have anything to worry about here. I've checked on this print before - and if memory serves, there can be subtle differences ...

Here's his response: "Lots of possible explanations. If one has been washed more the colors could have faded. Could have been different ink batches. Less detail could mean printers not caring what they churned out as long as they met their quota. Registration could have been off. Sometimes the dryer ...

Let me ask my Wild Oats contact as to why there's a difference in the print.
