PAE is pleased to present the very FIRST CGC graded specimen of this poster to EVER appear at public auction!
This UNCUT PRINTERS PROOF Poster features Santana appearing at the Fillmore for a run of shows during April 1999. The beautiful design was created by Michael V. Rios and Lisa Eng. CGC Grade 10 Superb Museum Quality Condition is another highlight of this lovely poster!
The experienced collectors we talk to are 100% convinced that posters that have somehow miraculously earned a 10.0 grade from CGC are exceedingly undervalued at current market levels. Their reasoning is simple but firmly grounded in reality. In every other certified collectibles marketplace it’s COMMONPLACE for the absolute “Best of the Best” to command premiums of 10x 20x or even 50x the next grade down. These types of premiums are universal and longstanding in regards to the values of rare coins comic books baseball cards paper money postage stamps etc.
Because independent authentication and grading of concert posters is still in its early days premiums have not yet approached these types of levels. But make no mistake premiums ARE growing as collectors from other fields are flowing into the marketplace. This is an opportunity not to be missed!
