We are pleased to offer this incredible example of a very highly demanded Doors Original Postcard. This Doors image has always been one of the most popular images from 1960's concert poster art. By the time this show was presented the Doors had gathered great momentum and were selling out large venues in every city they played. Randy Tuten rearranged the photo of the Doors featured on the inner sleeve of the Doors LP "Strange Days" which was released in September. The Doors 4th studio LP "The Soft Parade" was released on July 18th 1969 just a week prior to this Cow Palace concert. Bill Graham went with the much larger venue located outside of the city since he knew the Doors would pack the mega size venue at that point in their popularity.
This is a truly classic Bill Graham image that keeps breaking records at auction. 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!
