When I found them I first thought the were iron on's for t-shirts, but upon further inspection they are printed on a felt like material, or super crappy paper. They are copyright 1992 KWB Marketing, and have a Turn One logo on them. That's all I have other than the pics.

I can't see them being used as posters because the material is so odd, it wouldn't hold up for 6mo. in a garage. They aren't iron on's because the text is not flipped. Framed art?



Any help is appreciated. :o)

My guess would be proofs for t-shirts. Something that was printed before the actual shirt was made. But yes they look a lot like the old Xtreme shirts from the day

They are sample prints of T-shirts that were sold in the late 90's. When t-shirts are screen printed they will print proofs or samples on a cheap felt like material. The proofs are given to retailers to display because they are easier and cheaper than actually displaying the t-shirt or garment.
