We are pleased to offer this amazing piece by legendary Grande Ballroom poster artist Gary Grimshaw. This Hendrix CNE Auditorium Original First Printing poster is on everyone’s short list of all time favorites! The specimen being offered here is simply stunning sharp and well preserved.
When it comes to Psychedelic era rock & roll material collecting Jimi Hendrix is clearly THE “Poster Child”! No other musicians from this time period enjoy more worldwide demand than Jimi Hendrix. The incredibly limited availability of museum quality posters is far outweighed by the thousands of enthusiastic collectors around the world that are in constant search of this irreplaceable material.
This is only the third CGC graded example of this Original First Printing poster we have ever offered and current collector demand FAR exceeds the tiny supply that has survived in undamaged condition such as the specimen offered here. Proof of this insatiable demand for any and all Choice Hendrix Material can be found in the Hendrix Explosion poster that now routinely commands over $5 000 in our auction. See it here. This is a head shop poster that is exponentially easier to acquire than this poster and the historical importance of this lot is in a different universe to the Explosion poster as this poster promotes an actual Hendrix concert. In regards to original issue numbers again the Hendrix CNE offered here was issued in a tiny original number in the HUNDREDS while many THOUSANDS of Explosion posters were distributed all over the world 50+ years ago.
When you realize that Hendrix concert posters that are of comparable desirability and historical importance to this lot such as the (CLICK ON LINKS TO VIEW) BG-105 Hendrix Merriweather or Atlanta posters often rival the cost of a fine automobile it's easy to understand why many savvy collectors believe THIS HENDRIX POSTER IS VASTLY UNDERVALUED as it represents the finest possible combination of incredible art documented rarity and attractive price level. We're pleased to offer the collecting community the Bluest of Blue Chip concert posters available in today's fast paced and rapidly growing marketplace!
