Doors original postcards are always in top demand this issue included. This was the first Fillmore image featuring The Doors as the headliner group in the middle of The Summer of Love! Here's a chance to get an affordable Original First Printing that is completely original with no restoration. Created by Bonnie MacLean. Read about the recent passing of the late great artist Bonnie MacLean here.

 

This was the last of the Fillmore postcards to be printed and mailed separately. Later cards were primarily printed joined with different concert card for mailing. This is an ultra scarce "mailer" copy of the postcard which had been mechanically addressed and mailed prior to the concert date.

 

Original Postcards are without a doubt one of the fastest growing segments of the marketplace for vintage 1960’s concert poster art. Why? The reason is simple. These beautiful postcards display the same iconic art feature the same classic bands are created by the same legendary artists and are linked to the same moments in history as their far larger posters. Not only are these postcards a tiny fraction of the cost of the posters they are also FAR EASIER to store and collect.

 

Every collector that owns these wonderful pieces of history also acknowledge that they also look great when framed and displayed as well! When you compare the current market levels of these 50+ year old postcards with the values of comparable sports cards of the same era it’s easy to understand why many collectors consider this to be the greatest collectibles bargain in the world today! What a fabulous low risk way to comfortably enter and explore this exploding marketplace!
