Here we have a cardboard poster created for James Brown's appearance at the Lyric Opera House in Baltimore, MD on January 25th, 1986! The piece was printed by Baltimore's own Globe Poster. From its opening in 1929 until its closure in 2010, Globe Poster Company in Baltimore was the go-to place for musicians, circuses, drag races, and concert producers for bold, eye-catching letterpress advertising. It's no secret that Globe cardboard concert posters are the gold standard amongst advanced collectors. They rarely show up at public auction and when they do, they are always met with enthusiastic bidding!
