Is there anyway to tell for sure if a poster is real or a fake? Reason I'm asking is cause i've become skeptical of a certain seller on ebay.

Shep contacted BK directly who, based on hi-res images of the prints, confirmed they were legit.
If it's BK, he can usually help out. He's a solid dude. Can't say one way or another about any other artists, but BK genuinely cares. If you're worried about one of his, shoot him a note via his webpage (artillery design).

There's a constant ringing in my ears
Sense of humor's void and numb
And I'm bored to tears.......
just email the artist(s) and get their professional opinion

1. All of my stuff is legit....I'm 34 and have been around longer than many of you making possible for me to actually have very RARE mint posters.
2. Ninersfan isn't just one man, but an operation of hoarders that at least used to buy stacks of posters at shows, literally running from booth to booth just to flip them later on ebay for a profit.
I understand being skeptical when you see great old posters in great condition but it doesn't mean they're fake!?!? Just means someone who loved the collecting is finally letting it go...so get them while you can....but if you don't feel comfortable, then by all means, don't bid

how much for the kozik SG/PJ and NY/PJ? links?
that is a STELLAR fuckin collection

And though my collection is still overwhelming, some really good ones are already gonna as of late...i.e. Prague '96, Atlanta '00, Switz '96, a few nice '98s. It's all going as I am in serious debt unfortunately, but it will be a long slow process.

FYI, the NYE '91 has been reprinted as a second edition, so ask if it's a 1st or 2nd....a 1st printing (original) used to go for $200 give or take $20, now I'm not to sure. The SF '95 was heavily produced and the market is saturated with them....they used to go for $150 more or less, but now I would say around half that (which sucks for me because I bought it at the higher end :( )
The problem with those two posters is that they could be faked a little easier than most since they are not silkscreens. Well, I hope that helped and if you are really looking for those two posters and don't trust this seller, I got them for sale too

I am pretty well versed in collecting as well....Dont you think it is strange for some to have 10 of some of those old prints? I mean, a couple maybe, but 10?? This is what would red flag it for me..hmmmm

My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-12

And pjtradeking...yes 10 of anything is extreme, unless for the sole purpose to flip which, to anyone, with even a little integrity, makes you a deuche bag. I remember (and I think it was ninersfan) someone bought like 50 of the ugliest '06 Denver poster....god, was THAT a bad investment

CHILLIN LIKE BOB DYLAN!!!
It's possible. During the '05 tour, I've seen a few fan's come out from the arena with dozens of prints running to their cars to drop off. Many in groups. Same thing happen during the '06 tour & if you've read a few '10 show review's, many said they saw a few run out with stacks of poster's. Few merchandise tables don't give a shit & you can go ape shit & buy as much as you can. For trades, for selling etc.. Many year's back, wasn't somebody caught for selling prints on eBay that used to work @ the Pearl Jam merchandise tables? Guy had tons of prints of each show.
Guess I should have been more specific, D. I was referring to pre 2003 posters b4 things got out of hand. I would find it hard for anyone to have 10 of anything from those as they were a bit more strict as to the number one could purchase..should have been more clear..Although, nothing surprises me anymore...Now, with the advent of fakes, it is just so frigging hard to tell.

Maybe next time get the year right and make sure you use a photo with the right drummer in it.
