Re: Kobe Bryant Tee

I think it's a fair estimate, the problem is someone could have used an outdated photo later on, so impossible to know for sure unfortunately but you've done your due diligence!

Re: Kobe Bryant Tee

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 ...

Re: T-America Tag

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.

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

Re: Pop Will Eat Itself (PWEI) - Band Shirt Inner City Merchandising

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.

Re: 1991 Gloria Estefan "Into the Light" Tour Shirt

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!

Re: 1998 Helloween Tour Shirt RedWood Tag

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?

Re: Vintage flannel shirt

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.

Re: Anyone know the original reference of this tshirt?

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.

Re: Prince - Jam of The Year World Tour t-shirt value

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 ...

Re: 1982 Atari Pac-Man

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 ...

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 ...
