Legit check for Iron Maiden The Number of the Beast World Tour 1982-83

Post by sherwihn »

Hi, i managed to find this shirt along with one more shirt in a mixed shirt store while on vacation in Spain. It’s perfect condition, no rips/holes or over stretched marks on it.

I’ll appreciate if you guys can help me check it’s legitimacy. Thank you.

This is definitely suspect. Seems like it might be one of the Thai repros from a few years ago - when the tri-blend craze was raging.

For one, the tag color is off - unless that's the camera - but it seems like some inconsistencies in the tag, it's so long for one. There are long Sneakers tags but usually they are the blue ones.

Also, I can't find another instance of U.S.A. not having the "."'s like yours. Take a look here, and get an idea for the oddball tag:

I didn't even bother comparing the print - but by sight, it looks off. Other thought - I can't recall Maiden tees ever being on Sneakers....or Tri-Blend, but that's off the top of my head, so please chime in if I'm wrong.

Hi Jimmy,

Thanks for your kind response and honest opinion about this shirt. I’ll definitely use the pointers you’ve given and at the same time look for more references in this forum next time.

Have a great day. Thanks.
