In the collectibles marketplace there is rare and then there is IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND. There is desirable and then there is ONE OF A KIND! This lot offers the advanced collector a HOLEY GRAIL MUSEUM PIECE that will instantly become the cornerstone and highlight of whatever collection it resides.

We are pleased to offer for the very first time at auction an exceedingly rare and remarkably high quality example of this gorgeous Pink Floyd cardboard concert poster from their 1971 Meddle Tour. Posters from this tour are IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND and NEVER appear at public auction.

In fact 1971 Pink Floyd posters are so rare that the few high quality handbills we know of have commanded well into 4 figures.  The only other auction appearance we have found for THIS ENTIRE TOUR was a poster we auctioned for a show held a few weeks later on November 11 1971. That poster was NOT on cardboard was of inferior design and unfortunately was HEAVILY RESTORED. It realized $4054 on December 2016. Frankly we think the lot offered here is EXPONENTIALLY more valuable rare and attractive for all the reasons stated.

If a poster from 1971 does surface it will trade quickly and privately...and usually in trade for some other equally rare trophy. After all everyone has money for one of a kind items collectors will usually only part with something unique if they receive something of similiar rarity and desirability in return.

This is not the case here and everyone will have the same fair chance to add this amazing rarity to their collection. Whatever value is assigned to this masterpiece we are highly confident that it will bring much joy to the winning bidder now and even more with each passing year. And when the time comes to sell down the road the new owner of this one of a kind rarity will be in position to ask and collect whatever the market will bear.
