I recently purchased an Ames Bros 1998 Pearl Jam Indianapolis concert poster on ebay and question whether it is authentic. I was hoping someone could help me. The poster I received has a glossy finish and smoother texture on a paper stock is not a thick as other Pearl Jam posters that I have - which have a mat finish on a thick textured paper stock. Hoping to find someone that is familar with this poster that can tell me what type of paper the 1998 Pearl Jam Indianapolis poster was printed on and/or any other features that may help me to determine its authenticity.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your reply. I did send an email to Ames earlier today but figuring I would not get a response until Monday, at the earliest, and being very impatient - I thought I would reach out to others that might have some valuable insight. Regards, Jon

Might want to hold off on the verdict till the jury is back in. If you don't know that it's a fake for sure, why would the selled be shamed and should they be declared guilty?jenga101 wrote:Name and shame the seller.. unless they are already on the bootlegger list

To Yamar's point - I didn't want to give name, etc. unless I was able to confirm that the poster was fake.
Good news - after many emails and phone calls, the poster appears to be authentic. Thank you all for your comments and feedback!!
