Amazing CGC graded 10 quality! Simply incredible! A great poster in spectacular mind boggling condition! If you are building a collection of the best of the best this lot should not be passed up or it will haunt you forever!
Heavy eye appeal from artist Greg Irons. The Butterfield Blues Band were innovators in the world of blues / rock and were at the top of their game in the late 1960’s after the release of their first two recordings. The Chicago based band played nearly all of the major festivals of the day and were frequent performers at the Fillmore.
The experienced collectors we talk to are 100% convinced that posters that have somehow miraculously earned a 10.0 grade from CGC are exceedingly undervalued at current market levels. Their reasoning is simple but firmly grounded in reality. In every other certified collectibles marketplace it’s COMMONPLACE for the absolute “Best of the Best” to command premiums of 10x 20x or even 50x the next grade down. These types of premiums are universal and longstanding in regards to the values of rare coins comic books baseball cards paper money postage stamps etc.
Because independent authentication and grading of concert posters is still in it’s early days premiums have not yet approached these types of levels. But make no mistake premiums ARE growing as collectors from other fields are flowing into the marketplace and snapping up what they consider to be MASSIVE bargains.
