Ladies and gentlemen we are excited to present the FIRST CGC Graded example of this legendary original poster to appear in our auction! This is one of the most desirable Rolling Stones posters of all time and is featured in The Art of Rock plate # 4.273.
The stunning design by artist Kate Burness was for a concert that never happened. The Stones were due to play at Cardiff Castle in Wales on September of 1973 but the show was cancelled and most of the posters were reclaimed by the promoter. This thin paper poster is incredibly detailed and beautifully colored. Stones relics are very much atop the hierarchy of rock and roll collectibles and this is one of the finest posters ever created for this legendary band.
This poster has tape on the reverse and is VERY conservatively graded by CGC. See below for condition details. The 7.5 grade is going to create a ridiculous bargain for some shrew collector. This being the first specimen with Third Party Certification you can bid with confidence knowing that this lot will become even more desirable with each passing year.
