In the collectibles marketplace there is rare and then there is IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND. There is desirable and then there is ONE OF A KIND! In posters there are great musical acts and then there is DYLAN!
This lot offers the advanced collector a HOLY GRAIL MUSEUM PIECE that will instantly become the cornerstone and highlight of whatever collection it resides.
We are pleased to offer for the very first time at public auction an exceedingly rare copy of this 1965 Bob Dylan CARDBOARD concert poster that promoted his performance at The Patrick Gym on the campus of The University of Vermont.
Dylan opened with an acoustic set that was followed by an electric set backed by the Hawks later to be renamed The Band. It would be Dylan’s only performance in the state of Vermont in the 1960’s.
Rare Dylan posters have ALWAYS been the most coveted amongst collectors and the lot offered here is as rare as they come. This treasure is a classic boxing style concert poster printed on thick cardboard by Murray Poster Printing Company of New York.
In addition to its extreme rarity this poster features a photo by Daniel Kramer and is universally considered amongst collectors to be one of the most visually appealing and desirable Dylan concert posters ever created!
The key to building a World Class collection is having the wherewithal to act when opportunity presents itself. Clearly this lot represents an opportunity that may not present itself again - if ever - for MANY years to come.
When faced with this type of circumstance it's difficult to determine what current market value will be. That’s because sellers of this type of material are usually unwilling to leave the price realized up to market forces. They insist on selling privately - only if their price demands are met - to a network of insiders - never giving the general collecting public a fair chance to participate.
This is not the case here and everyone will have the same fair chance to add this amazing rarity to their collection.
The collectibles world will be watching as advanced collectors fight it out for the right to add this masterpiece to their collection! Bid accordingly history tells us that to date this represents your ONLY CHANCE to acquire one of the most desirable Dylan concert posters EVER produced.
