The first set is definately bad and I am fairly certain the second is too. I had more hopr for the second set until I saw the reverse; I don't like the backing material and it is a fake RZM tag with the wrong code.

Personally I like both and I have no doubts about the second one, any doubts on the first one set because I never seen it before.
Thanks for your thoughts gentlemen, any aother opinions from tabs collectors are welcome.
P.S. Pictures are made with a scanner I will try with a camera.

I would expect a B code on a simple machine embroidered tab. A C code would be appropriate dor a hand-embroidered tab. The type font for the number does not look correct to me. Also, a 5-digit number (instead of 6) is considered by many to be a problem. From the photo, I also question the type of paper the tag is made of.

Here a better picture.

The paper looks wrong, the 'C' code is (as Brad says) not what I'd expect to see and then there's the 5 digit serial number.

I wouldn't touch it personally.

I don't loke the first pair that were posted.

The second pair look good, but with a fake RZM paper tag attached.
