Just got a Philly 4/29 poster from eBay in the mail. I believe it is a fake as it does not have the "Official Pearl Jam Event Poster" sticker on back. Can anyone confirm that all posters sold at show should have sticker?

My wife is a graphic designer and she says if it is a fake, it is a good fake. Definitely not a digital print.
OP, Let us know, please. I hope that it is a genuine poster. I'm an artist. I hate when people sell counterfeit items. They don't realize or care what design work and artistic process goes into those things. Makes me sad.

The glossy characters are interesting to me, im not sure how they were originally applied and i assume hard to fake the print because of them? But if its not a fake I can't figure out why there would be that grey circle instead of the sticker?
Definitely interested in the responses you get

Emek should be able to tell you. It's his art.
None of that would make sense for a show edition poster however. I do think it's more likely that the print just didn't get the sticker placed on it. I used to mail invoices at a previous job and they were stamped with postage by being run through a machine, say 30 envelopes at a time, and every now and again one would slip through without being stamped. I think something similar could've happened here.
