THE FINEST QUALITY CONDITION CGC GRADED EXAMPLE WE'VE AUCTIONED OF THIS ISSUE!

 

This Pre-Concert First Printing Doors poster is THE gem of the Matrix Neon Rose posters series. It comes up less frequently and demands higher values than the rest of the series. The tiny club in San Francisco’s Marina district was not known to attract the bigger acts of the day mainly featuring blues and folk music as well as the up and coming Bay Area bands. So it was by chance that they were able to book the up and coming LA band before their rise to prominence. The Doors in 1967 were just breaking out. This show was held just four months after the release of their first album “The Doors”. That LP featured the #1 hit “Light my Fire” which propelled the band to pop icon status. 

 

We previously auctioned a lower 8.0 CGC graded example for $2280 back in January. In any other collectibles market this poster would be worth many multiples of the previously sold example. It will be interesting to see what premium the market attaches to this superior 9.4 example now. There are NOT enough of these to go around so this issue is in extreme high demand. Don't pass up this opportunity!
