I believe this listing to be fake. I'm cautious of anything with a paper printed label on it.

Anybody have any info on it?

Thanks

Person has sold 3 of them also so that sends out a red flag.

    I don't really know but it looks like it is this item? http://www.discogs.com/Pearl-Jam-Backspacer/release/6352303

    But we don't see the front of the sleeve.

    Definitely not that one.

    Paul, where are you?

    It looks fake as hell. I hope for your sake it is real at those prices but I'm skeptical...

    I think its real... just my opinion, but I got one of these and the name that it was watermarked to lines up a real employee, the CD and envelope make sense but then again these things can be faked so you can't ever be sure unless you know the employee with it personally.

    I did not pay anywhere near that price though, so I felt a lot more comfortable taking the risk on it.

    Josh does yours suggest what country its from?

    It appears to be a uk one based on the location of the few sellers to date and its just a bit odd it looks nothing like the other uk watermarked promo...

    But it certainly does seem real. This guy however has been trying to sell it for 6 months at least always at crazy sums. It was £100 more only last week!!

    Definitely a US promo... which is also a little odd since its only appeared from a UK seller.

    Would obviously be possible to fake but the little bit I could research on it lines up... but that's mostly on the name on the one I got and the other one that had popped up. Again that would be possible to fake as well depending on how much work they were looking to put into it.

    The guy has 3 of them. He sold 2 and has the third one up for sale. I guess I'll pass on this one… Too many loose ends.

    Thanks everyone.

    I wouldn't pay what they're asking now- I paid like a third of that so it felt more worth the risk.

    Like I said I think it's real and the names on the two that he originally sold line up well, but that doesn't guarantee they are real and at the current asking price I don't know that it's worth it even if it's a sure thing.
