Metallica Gimme Fuel

Post by classxsick »

May I please get a price check and legit check on this Metallica shirt?

Also considering that the tag appears to be barely hanging on, few holes near the pit, collar is thrashed a bit, and colors are faded.. what does this put this shirt at? Pit to pit is 23 inches length is 27 inches.

I also noticed some black threading near the back side of the tag and was wondering if that is normal? (Looks like the tag was cut?)

Have yet to see a fake tag like that Giant version - but is it sewn in (fraudulently)? The photos of the print aren't great can you please do a closeup of just the front print?

In good shape, these can go in the $200 range.

Do you mean the tag is legit then? I'm not sure if the tag was sewn on fraudulently. I asked the seller and they denied it. I've been negotiating with the seller and was trying to figure out:
1) if the shirt is authentic
2) value considering its condition

If I could get any help it would be greatly appreciated.

I've attached more photos what I can get from the seller.

There are legit reasons for sewn in tags, the 23" chest might be a little wide for a vintage XL - but the shirt is also worn like crazy and could have been stretched. I'll ask someone else to chime in to see if this print is being circulated.
