Here's a magnificent head-turner that contains everything you could ever want all in one poster! James Brown was the man who started it all, giving this poster unsurpassed historical significance. This poster advertised his appearance at the Milwaukee County Stadium on May 31st, 1968. This is a CARDBOARD GLOBE poster and Globe posters are universally considered among the most desirable concert posters EVER issued.
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!
