This is mind boggling lot is the first CGC graded example of this insanely rare handbill to EVER appear in our auction!
Let’s get down to the bare facts.
THERE IS NO BIGGER NAME IN THE ART AND COLLECTIBLES WORLD THAN ANDY WARHOL. Period. It’s indisputable and will in the long run be the overriding fact that determines the future value and desirability of this handbill. This lot is more than just a concert handbill. There are literally several thousands of serious Warhol collectors around the world that would love to own this handbill. None of these collectors even know that it exists. Why? Because very few are known of today!
Billions of dollars of wealth have been created by the Andy Warhol brand. Those lucky enough to acquire one of his early pieces have become multi-millionaires. Those that had the foresight to buy his work in quantity now have a solid 9 figure $100 000 000+ net worth. That’s right hundreds of millions of dollars have been made by single collectors with Warhol.
There is nothing theoretical about this: it is undisputed fact.
We expect this lot to earn MASSIVE attention for the for the following reasons:
1) First and foremost ANYTHING related to Warhol is PURE GOLD!
2) This handbill is FAR rarer than the poster which is considered one of the most deasirable concert posters of all time!
3) This is the finest quality BG-8 handbill by a factor of 10X compared to any other we have seen handled or heard about!
5) We auctioned off a CGC 9.4 example of the poster to great fanfare and attention for $6911 in January 2018!
6) There are several advanced collectors out there that own the BG-8 poster have been waiting very long and very patiently to add the matching handbill to their collection!
This lot will invariably land in a wWorld Class collection. Other examples of this handbill may surface but the bidder that emerges vistorious here will have the satisfaction of owning an unimprovable example that will most likely never be bested!
