All the people here who are into posters have asked that question at least once, so dont worry. You are not stupid.

The posters that are printed for the shows are called 1st editions. These are (in the pearl jam world) not signed or numbered and are sold at the show. If you have bought something through 10c, then you have 1st editions as those are left overs from the tour.

If your poster is signed and numbered, that means they are 'artist proofs' (AP's). AP's are the prints the artists themselves sell and are usually 10% of the total run of 1editions. So if this years virginia beach poster was 2000 copies, the AP would normally be 200. Those 200 are a seperate edition from the first, making 2200 copies of this poster in circulation. I am not sure if the pj artists live by this 10% rule though... If you wanna know I suggest sending them a mail, or maybe nr. 7 can give us a better answer if he sees this. Would be interesting to know!

Hope this helped ya!
