Does anyone know what the deal is with this? I’ve seen it at least once before but the print is so muddy and ugly I’m curious as to whether it’s a bootleg or not

Haha sorry, “what the deal is”

And yeah I figured it was, but there’s at least one of these on this site for an Australian Tour in ‘93, so I figured maybe there was just a terrible print job or something.

Oh I’m not looking to buy this by any stretch. Etsy sellers suck when it comes to metal merch; they gouge prices so greatly it affects other platforms who think they’re setting the standard value

I'd have a very hard time feeling sorry for the absolute idiot who would fork over the cash for that shitrag.

I wonder if it was a parking lot bootleg from this actual tour

It’s a single stitch, too. I’m fine with old boots, but this one is so weird and muddy it looks like a scratch ‘n’ sniff haha

This looks like a piss poor thermal stamp ready to peel off. Not even the cheapest parking lot bootleger would dare to try to sell this crap

It reminds me of the temporary tattoos you’d get from a gum ball machine

This looks too new... 'Looks like a total bootleg and not a very good one at that.

This is the stuff that pisses me off, it's bad enough being a nerd is expensive as hell, but this adds insult to injury. Frigg'n bootleggers taking advantage of fans and all... This clearly predatory...

Seriously! I’m always baffled by how much people drive up prices on sites like Grailed and Etsy, but this one is the most mind blowing I’ve found.

A quick look at the sellers inventory says it all. Sure, a few originals but mostly crappy bootlegs, I feel sorry for the ones who've bought from this seller without better knowledge. There are too many sellers like this nowadays, "vintage" this and "vintage" that...crap.
As for the Bolt Thrower longsleeve, I've never seen such bad printing. The iron on transfers from comic books back in the day looked better.

2000's Incantation reprint for 150€... 🙄

im not a pro when it comes to the question 'Bootleg or not'..but since BT printed their tourmerch on their own (at least 99% of time)...they never had a so poor quality... this LS is seriously a shame ..lol..wtf... i say Bootleg..all the way..
