Missing lables.

Post by jmsmccrnr »

How is it possible to ensure the authenticity of a band shirt if the label is missing? Surely it could easily be just a knock-off. Thanks.

It could be. But labels and blanks are getting knocked off too now. All collectible niches unfortunately have to deal with counterfeits. I always wondered if there was a way to date a print - through some lab process - as dating the fabric wouldnt prove anything given the amount of true vintage blanks that are still floating around.
