Not a big issue. Stickers are like date stamps, some times they are there

and some times they are not.

The general concesus is the tags started some time in late 1962 or early 1963

So your drums are just fine without them.

From what you've said there's no reason I can think of to think that the drums aren't real.

I have 2 sets of RB's and neither came with labels.

I have gretsch drums bought new in 1961 (shells made in 58 or sooner - 3ply) and they don't have stickers in them.
