Hello, there any leads to a possible counterfeit version of this Trademark Apparel Group tag?

here's another set of reference...
I don't know, but the 1st set of photos looks off to me being compared side by side with other T-A-G tags and the print also seems off and missing some fine details

So the first one in this post is yours? and concerned about loss of detail?

To my knowledge, no fake TAG exists - but there does appear to be a trend to go after more obscure tags.

not mine either but planning to buy it. if you take a close look at the font there are subtle diff. the size on the 1st post is in bold font while on the other TAG are not. and the spacing also. Made in the USA seems diff fonts. Care on Reverse is camel-cased on the 1st post while on the other it's all caps. on the 1st post fonts are more cramped compares to the other which came from a known legit

Good eye, but the other thing with these obscure tags is that they generally have little consistency. I just plugged the first tag into google lens and there's a ton of variance across this tag's design.
