So I bought it on Ebay. Just arrived and something didn't feel right. Might just be me, so I'm hoping some of you have this poster and can give me some details:

Paper type - thin, thick, etc
Sticker on back? No sticker on back?

Any pictures are appreciated for comparison.

No signature or number on it. 

Thanks!

    Here’s is about as much info you’ll find online about it:  http://expressobeans.com/public/detail.php/157457

    Also. It would help if you could post some pictures so we could see.  It should be fairly easy to tell.

    Probably would help if we had a little more detail about the print....date, artist, venue, etc

    Paper type should not be thin. I'll say that much.

    Paper type - thin, thick, etc     The paper used for this poster is rather thin, actually. (Ames is notorious for that)
    Sticker on back? No sticker on back?    No sticker on the back

    Any pictures are appreciated for comparison.

    No signature or number on it.   This poster you bought was just the show edition, not signed or numbered

    Thanks!

    Ames do use thinner paper but it's still a card stock type. 
    I ment it should not be thin like glossy paper type. Those are the fakes that are out there that I've seen.
    Pitts 2013 was there and was the thin gloss paper.

    Gotcha. Yeah, this isn't glossy paper but just thin stock

    That was be ironic if it’s a counterfeit bill. I have to say- from pics and also seller rating - I can’t imagine that being a fake. Do dimensions seem correct?

    Yeah, the dimensions are accurate per espresso. It was really the paper being thin that through me off. Of course, I wouldn't accuse the seller of knowingly selling a fake but he/she could've bought it from someone else in good faith. I'm really hoping it's real because it's been an ISO/grail of mine for ages (I joined 10C when I got home from the show!)

    You may never know OP. If there’s doubt I would
    return it. Would suck to go to the trouble of framing & hanging it only to wonder in the back of your mind if it’s the real deal. We’re limited in the amount of reassurance to give. If it’s a reproduction, the seller might have listed another one in the past. That might help to look.
