We are pleased to offer this incredible copy of one of the most sought after Fillmore posters. It is the very FIRST CGC graded examnple to appear at public auction and the finest quality we have handled. We sold an ultra clean BG-8 that was NOTCGC graded at auction this past March which brought $6912. This example is even nicer.
Let’s get down to the bare facts. THERE IS NO BIGGER NAME IN THE ART AND COLLECTIBLES WORLD THAN ANDY WARHOL. Period. It’s all you really need to know. Because that fact which is indisputable will in the long run be the overriding fact that determines the future value and desirability of this poster.
This lot is more than just a concert poster. There are literally many thousands of serious Warhol collectors around the world that would love to own this poster. None of these collectors even know that it exist. Why? Because very few are known of today! If they did this would easily be a $50 000+ poster.. Someday it just might hit that mark.
Literally BILLIONS of dollars of wealth have been created by Andy Warhol. Those lucky enough to acquire one of his early pieces for a song have become multi millionaires. Those that had the foresight to buy his work in quantity now have solid 9 figure $100 000 000+ net worths. That’s right hundreds of millions of dollars have been made by single collectors with Warhol.
There is nothing theoretical about this it is undisputed fact. Which brings us to the opportunity at hand.
Very few BG-8 posters were originally printed (well under 1000) and virtually none are as nice as the example offered now. Any gem BG-8's that exist are buried in long-term collections. Because of this situation we always have a mile long list of collectors eager to acquire this amazing poster. Let's face it the Warhol name is magic in art and collectibles. Literally billions of dollars have been made by collectors that snapped up Warhol art when it was available for a pittance. This poster offers the ultimate in rarity condition design and desirability. It also features one of the most exciting lineups ever to appear at the Fillmore! How do you top Warhol Zappa and Lou Reed?
Without a doubt this poster is one of our top 10 picks for future value appreciation. A blue chip poster if there ever was one!
