1994 Bjork Photograph; very popular piece hardly seen; BG euro tag variant.

Would start by focusing on the tag. Based on a small sample size in our tag database - these tags are really inconsistent. In the 3 examples here - the BG portion, is spaced differently each time:

so in this small sample size we see that this tag's design is not reliable.

The one thing that caught my eye with yours - the ribbing/finishing on the side of the tags, which I don't recall seeing before, and isn't present in our database. That said, we only have a small sample size.

Also, the back of your tags reads RUMBLE DRY - which might be an error of TUMBLE DRY. BUT I don't have any examples of the back of BG tags, so will have to dig on this.

yes, the BG LOGO positioning is different and instead of 'TUMBLE' it's 'RUMBLE'. could this be the indicator that this might be unauthentic?

Given how all over the place this tag design is, makes sense to focus on the ribbing on the side of each tag - which I haven't been able to find on any of now about 10 BG tags I have looked at - as well, I've reached out to a contact I know how has one in hand - and I've asked him for a photo of the back of the tag to see what it says.

My mate from @stylefrommyles came through in the clutch with this back of the tag. So it appears to be a fake tag.

Yes sir, i think this 'RUMBLE' is a big red flag indicator, don't think this could be a mistake right?

Hunt down other tags that have RUMBLE on them, and we'll see what print is attached. I would also go back to your source and find out where he got it from.
