    I honestly don't know if it's real or a reproduction. As stated in the ad, I've had this for well over 15 years, don't recall where it was purchased, but it was with a few other Yes and Genesis passes in my collection.

    According to this site, it would seem to be a fake.

    CLOTH & PAPER (STICK-ON) PASSES:
    One key method in discerning whether a cloth pass is real or fake is, strangely enough, by looking at the paper backing. Fakes most often use generic backings, such as FASSON and STARLINER, because they are readily available. Official backstage pass printers' backings, like those from OTTO or Perri, are impossible or expensive to obtain or copy, so the readymade FASSON or STARLINER generic paper backings are the counterfeiters' preferred choice. Remember this simple rule: white FASSON and STARLINER backings were not used until 1982. This comes in very handy when collecting 1970s passes. There are countless fakes of 1970s passes with white FASSON or STARLINER backings. This is a dead giveaway. FASSON backings from the 1970s were brown until the early 1980s. So, needless to say, don't buy a pass that is supposed to be from the 1970s if it has a white FASSON or STARLINER backing.
