Early Chuck Berry original posters have been among the hottest and most IN-DEMAND for over a decade now. He shared the bill at this 1957 Vancouver concert with big names like Fats Domino and Bill "Honky Tonk" Doggett! This performance was part of the iconic "Biggest Show of Stars for '57" package tour, a massive North American rock-and-roll traveling event produced by Irvin Feld.
The cardboard posters for this event were produced by the famous Globe printing company. Globe posters are universally considered to be 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!
