We are pleased to offer the FIRST CGC Graded example with NO RESTORATION of this classic summer festival poster in our auction! This was the first annual Atlanta International Pop Festival held July 4th weekend of 1969. The festival was organized by promoter Alex Cooley. He was also one of the organizers of the Texas International Pop Festival a few weeks later on Labor Day weekend. Legendary artists like Led Zeppelin and Janis Joplin performed along with a powerful lineup of artists and the Atlanta Pop festival went down in history as one of the great events in the south.

 

Few of these original posters still exist today in ANY condition. We have only auctioned this issue three times over the past 10+ years and this one being the FIRST un-restored example with third party authentication. Last year an example with restoration graded by CGC at 4.5 reached $510 in our auction. In any other collectibles market this 9.0 poster would be worth many multiples of the previously sold example. It will be interesting to see what premium the market attaches to this superior example now. This LARGE beautiful poster is in super clean condition with no nicks cuts tears or pinholes!
