This original first printing postcard is by the legendary “Big Five” artist Victor Moscoso. This image is beautiful and can be difficult to find therefore highly sought after as such. The FD-42 is the first postcard to be produced in the numbered avalon series (no known handbill exists of this issue) and these cards were cut smaller than all the FD postcards which followed this issue. They were printed on thicker stock similar to the posters and have been described by many collectors to be one of the most difficult issues to locate.
Original Postcards are without a doubt one of the fastest growing segments of the marketplace for vintage 1960’s concert poster art. 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!
