U2 Joshua Tree and Prince The Artist Legit Chjecks

Post by Ilikeshirtules »

Recently got these two shirts from a pretty reputable seller but have found a lot of inconsistencies with comps on these two items. Some on the same tags and some on other tags. I have one other Cronie’s Tag and it looks pretty similar but wanted to ask this forum and get more opinions on these two items that I got from the same seller. Thank you!

I’m thinking they are legit as well. My primary concerns were the tags. I saw other listing with the shirts having different tags. I only have one other Cronies tag to compare the Prince to and like I said, it seems consistent. The Hanes tag just looked a little different than other ones. Specifically the H in the logo. But this could very well be just tag date differences. I also got a good deal so I guess some skepticism is influencing my examination. So I was mostly seeking a some additional unbiased opinions more than anything.

Good eye. HANES in that blue bar era are tricky; they were so inconsistent with tag design that there are a ton of organic inconsistencies and even stuff that just seems straight-up sloppy.

look at this weird "100% cotton" abomination.

Prince I found this, seems consistent with yours:

I don't think there's been a Cronies tagged faked as of yet.

Awesome, well thank you for the info. I was pretty sure they were legit but just wanted to run it by another set of knowledgable eye balls. Appreciate it!
