A PERFECT 10 CGC GRADED TREASURE! Artist Bob Fried's work was undeniably unique and beautiful. In this first printing original poster for a Janis Joplin / Big Brother run at the Avalon Ballroom, the artist used a central image of Leo Tolstoy, The Author of War and Peace. This poster is printed on coated index.
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 and snapping up what they consider to be MASSIVE bargains. This is an opportunity not to be missed!
