Authentic? Was wondering if anyone could ID what year this one is. Tag is ripped, but most of the 86(?) versions are a Yellow Text layered over a White Text.
I could find one sale for this version but on a personal website:

thechurchofsatin.com/product-page/lou-reed-t-shirt-velvet-underground-bowie-iggy-nico-laurie-anderson-patti-smith

I know there's some with the bunny tag but those are massive in the front compared to this one.

Just took 5 minutes to remind myself why these ones are a nightmare.

The ones I remember from the 2000s era had a two-color backprint, a white shadow on the letters.

There's a few of those on eBay now.

If you compare yours and the one you linked to - to those - look at the O in LOU it's different.

I mean there could have even been bootlegs in that era.

Having said that, I wouldn't trust and of these unless they came from the OG owner, and he was in his 60s or 70s.

If you use terapeak and look at the top sales for these in the last three years - all of the $ ones have a taller O - whereas yours is more of a circle.

Sorry, they are just too easy to fake - and don't think they are worth the price tag at the moment.
