Found this in the bins. It seems legit but there's no image on the front, which is usually the case for this back graphic. No idea what to think. Quality is near new, so I'm a cautiously optimistic.

Totally real, just a print error, where the printers didn't print the front.
Also, maybe it's just the lighting you used, but it looks like a potential dry rot situation - the black fabric has a real sheen to it.
But would be odd in this instance, from that era, with that tag and especially since the tag shows signs it's been washed.

Awesome, thanks for the info!
I think it's the lighting, but appreciate the heads up. Any idea what this might be worth? (Lmk if I should post this to the appraisal forum instead.)

Not a ton. I just poked around on confirmed sales, and was surprised some of these, with the front print go in the $200-300 range. That said, missing the front print takes a huge bite out of it. Might get in the $50-100 range? But probably be a tough sell.
