Looks fake to me, just mean if it doesn't have the hologram then you can just say "It doesn't even have the fucking hologram!" rather than having to discuss the quality/resolution of the print.

I'm not sure TBH. Certainly if it does have a hologram I wouldn't asume it means it's genuine, but if it doesn't it makes his claim that mch easier.

I'll make it simple Eye-wink
If he has to do a Paypal claim they will need to know how he knows it's fake.
If he can say "Genuine ones have a hologram on and this one doesn't" then there's no room for argument, if he has to explain about print resolutions and nostril visibility it may confuse them.

what if it has a fake 'hologram' and is still obviously snide? Puzzled

Then he'll have to explain about print resolution and nostril visibility etc.
Just worth checking because loads of fakes don't have the watermark and he didn't show it in the photos, suggesting it isn't there, or he doesn't know where to check it.

Yeah I think it does have the watermark (camera phone shoddy photo though), the strange thing is that the tag looks like its had the "price" ripped off too.




Heres a link to the auction

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd;=1&item;=180246667478&ssPageName;=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih;=008

Seller has 100% feedback and a fair bit too, even Besty thought this was real

Good advice Generic Guy, I'll bear that in mind. I've emailed the seller, just sending comparative photos and said that I'd like a refund in light of us both having 100% feedback Laughing out loud

Could be any tag though, i've got loads of them, all he has to do is rip the bit of stating what t-shirt it is and reattach it with a kimble gun, not a lot of effort to make a £100 t-shirt seem more genuine

Loads of fake stuff comes with fake price tags as well. Have no clue about Supreme, but print quality doesnt look up to much Sad You spoke to the seller yet or you waiting for confirmation from someone who owns the T?

Sent him an email today, not heard anything yet. I've never seen anything like it before, crazy. I remember getting stung once on a BAPE t-shirt but the quality was blatently shit and it was obvious that it were fake. Looks like the Nigerians have moved on from Mobile phones now.

If worst comes to worst, I could call in a favour from Noble to do some "moderation" Laughing out loud

to be fair to him, he doesnt state anywhere in the sale that it is an original…noit once does he say that. he could say
'i never said it was real, i thought you knew'.

Yeah there is, can't fault anything on the t-shirt, stitching is perfect feels like other supreme tees just looks and feels wrong.

True, I thought that too. But its against Ebay policy anyway to list a fake item as something real. I'm sure I've got an email from him saying its real. Anyway I'll see what he has to say about a refund.

wheres all the 'supreme' experts when you fucking need them with an opinion???

p. the more you look at the auction, the more dodgy it looks…miles away pictures and not many of them, and no '100 times money back if not real' bullshit either…i reckon he got scammed buying it, and was scamming back, that would be my guess.
