Check the year on the salvage- 2010. This fabric is several seasons old so seems like this is Left over/unsold fabric from that season. Doesn't mean that it is bad or counterfit. TM is a reputible chain and I would like to think that they do not sell knock-off. If the price is right, you need to fabric and you like the print BUY IT!!!!! If you are going to agonize over it then leave it for someone who really likes. What is the big deal!!!!!!
