The Grande Ballroom series produced some of the finest imagery from the 1960’s music scene. In many cases promoter Russ Gibb chose to only produce postcards to promote events. That being the case Grande cards and card sets have become one of the most highly sought after items by serious collectors.

The poster of this concert in this condition is worth close to $10 000. This is the seond 9.8 CGC graded example of this postcard to appear at public auction. We auctioned off the previous 9.8 that realized $173 earlier this year! FANTASTIC VALUE!
