Looking to buy this baby Kurt memorial. It’s single stitched. No tag, but the print on bsck looks different than others I’ve seen. Any help?

Not going to lie, I do not have one of these(wish I did). Here is a pic of one of my buddies:
Looks legit otherwise, minus the weird back.

This is the closest I can get, and yea back looks off. Could be a reprint on a old blank possibly ? Here is another back print of another one for sale which looks like different font

No joke it is very impressive. To some, it's easier to buy one of those instead of spending the bread for the actual real deal. Tomato, Tomatoe, right? I would rather have a real one. Maybe someday!

When it comes to high valued stuff like that is there really an easy way to tell the difference ?

Are they really replicating these with faked tags? I always assumed sites/people doing repros like this are just putting up a shot of an original with the original tag, but when you order it you'd get it with whatever tag from the blank they're printing it on.
If anybody has ever ordered something like this, I'm curious to know what the tag situation is like on the delivered shirt.

Yessir, counterfeit tags are a big thing. The authenticity quiz we did - the tags were all ones we had ordered from that company on IG I linked in this thread. Ordered them for research purposes while prepping for Legiteem8.

I have a gray HSB from them. I cannot bring myself to pay $2000.00++ for that damn shirt. Just my own personal opinion, though. There are people out there that love them. As for the tags, and the shirts, they do a pretty decent job. But once again, another opinion.

Ha, I hear that, man! I have a junk food Genesis shirt that I found thrifting that I really love. I wear it all the time. Turns out junk food is a subsidiary of Delta, so I guess that's why they have access to all those prints.
What are they doing with the reverses on the faked tags? Are they printing up all the care info too, or just the fronts?

Good Q! My partner has them all at his place, going to investigate. For our app, there's a spot for both the front and the back of the tag while you're uploading photos.
