I just looked at mine, it is not signed/numbered. Albeit I bought it about 15 years ago from another fan, which I think is before the era where posters started to get bootlegged, so I don't think mine is a bootleg.

The bootlegged versions are screen printed or done on a computer? I’ve “heard” about bootlegged posters but never saw one.

I haven't specifically seen bootleg posters, but it's getting way more prevalent now. I attended a few shows last year (Foo Fighters, Springsteen) and there were people selling bootlegs on ebay. I assumed they must be a high resolution scan and print or something. I think it's less common for really old posters because it could be hard to get an original to make a copy of?
Were any 98 signed and numbered? When did the bootlegging start?

Many of the 98 Ames posters were available s/n for a long time. I got quite a few for US$ 62.50 directly from Ames when they did a 50% sale many years ago... e.g. Noblesville, East Lansing, Cleveland, Hartford, West Palm Beach, Vancouver ...

This seller on ebay, sold 1998 east lansing poster a couple of months ago. Seller has listed another east lansing poster with the same signed number as the one that sold couple months ago 16/350. I ask if he actually has two separate posters. No response. He has several 1998 posters listed, same deal. I would be a little concerned. Each poster sold a couple months ago for quite a bit.
^ shady bidding. Most of his 98 that he has listed gets bumped up in value around the same time. Within minutes of each other 3x right now. I say last month listing was shill bidding to get max value in a market that’s down. Just my 2 cents.

This is correct. Many were signed but I have NEVER seen a signed Seattle.

I’ve NEVER seen a signed one and I’ve seen members state that Ames never sold signed copies of this one.
"Let the Ocean dissolve away my past."
I have Hartford, Dallas, Indy, and St. Louis that are all s/n.
Just my 2 cents.
