We are VERY pleased to offer the very finest quality example of this poster that we have EVER handled. The World Famous BG-75 is one of the KEY issues in the Bill Graham Fillmore Series. It features spectacular super popular art for one of the most beloved bands in the history of Rock and Roll.
The Doors enjoy huge international interest and demand that dwarfs the worldwide interest for most other bands of the era. This issue has regularly commanded well over $2 000 in decent shape of 8.0 or higher. Last year two spectacular CGC specimens were auctioned: a 9.4 example that realized $3675 and a 9.8 that realized $4140.0. In our opinion the 9.4 was a strong result and the 9.8 example was rather weak.
Given the base value of $2 000+ for solid examples we see the premiums for the few surviving Gems to be ridiculously low and unsustainable. This is a poster that is requested on a a weekly basis and as such is one of the most liquid Blue Chip issues you can acquire. A true MUSEUM PIECE this lot is sure to instantly become a highlight of any collection it is added to and will propel said collection into the category of WORLD CLASS.
