A HIGH-GRADE, PERFECT 10! This original poster for a Fugs show at the Avalon Ballroom was designed by the Family Dog's art director, Jack Jaxon. Jaxon went on to co-found the Rip Off Press, one of the major underground comix publishers. This Jesus/Satan playing card design is both thought-provoking and somewhat disturbing.
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 regarding the values of rare coins, comic books, baseball cards, 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!
