Empire bootleg - to buy or not to buy

Post by MissLizzNL »

Hey!
I came across this Iron Maiden X Factor bootleg shirt, someone is offering it for €50, but I’m wondering if it’s real - the Empire registered trademark is cut off…
What do you guys think?

Yeah, so it's vintage but not true Maiden gear....not sure if that matters to you. Bootlegs have their own charm. If you're buying to resell, I don't think there's much room for profit, but for yourself, why not!

Thanks again for your good insight Jimmy.
I am slowly but surely building a collection but always looking to resell, so I think I’ll pass on this one.
