World's largest community of heavy metal tshirt and battlejacket collectors.

Bootleg Button.

TSS needs something that can mark a shirt as a bootleg. Most of the time its 100% obvious to collectors, but there is no point having a site that has myriads of bootlegs and no way of showing to new users what to look out for. Can you think of having something that we can either mark as or / vote on what is a bootleg?

Legend. Full Stop.

Good idea. The function could also have "official reprint" option because theyre not bootlegs, but theyre not old originals either. And sometimes the difference is really small.

I think everyone has to be burnt at least once :-)

Great idea DOC, but that will give discussions! I can already hear the screaming!

It would often be hard to determine whether an item is a bootleg, especially demo cassettes. And I'm gonna say very few people have the knowledge to.

Very true, I'm still after an original of Morbid - December Moon and I've got so many pictures from different angles of an original so I know what to look for, But for others I'd have no idea.

Items like Cassettes / CD's / LP's can be easily traced by Discogs. Tape trading and photocopiers was not kind to demo tapes...enter at your own risk.

Great idea indeed, sometimes it is hard to say if an item is legit or boot so maybe an unknown option could be necessary

Yep, or maybe something like percentage vote..eg. 78% of voters agree or disagree etc.

When I clicked on this I thought it was about bootleg pins and badges.
But it's a good idea indeed.

Good option! I´ve been almost fooled by my own eyes for some stuff on here!

That would still help a lot.

Doc, As always appreciate the time and effort you put in!

Just tried it out, it's really cool!

Special-Tee-666 on Thu, 18/01/2018 - 10:57

Looks good, and awesome new feature. Thanks for your efforts Doc!

My one afterthought is should we maybe change the word 'original' to 'official'?...personally I have always considered 'original' to be the first press/print of something...where as 'official' is more any band / licensed merch from the lifetime of said band.
