PRESENTING THE FIRST PERFECT CGC GRADED 10 example of this poster to appear in our auction! This 1968 Blues Bash featured the Electric Flag, featuring Guitarist Mike Bloomfield, at the Fillmore. Bloomfield was a force to be reckoned with. From the Butterfield Blues Band to the short-lived Electric Flag, to the hours of recording with Bob Dylan, to the incredible instrumental prowess he exhibited jamming with Al Kooper - Bloomfield achieved legendary musical status at a very young age.
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!
