AMAZING 9.9 GRADED HANDBILL! The 1968 Newport Pop Festival was one of the earliest large-scale festivals. Held at the Orange County Fairgrounds the attendance was estimated at 140 000. The Grateful Dead played on Sunday August 4th. The full lineup of performers for the festival included Jefferson Airplane Sonny & Cher The Byrds Tiny Tim Country Joe & the Fish Eric Burdon and the Animals and more!

 

The experienced collectors we talk to are 100% convinced that handbills that have somehow miraculously earned a 9.9 grade from CGC are exceedingly undervalued at current market levels. Collectors from other fields are flowing into the marketplace and snapping up what they consider to be MASSIVE bargains.
