This poster for a Jr. Wells Canned Heat concert at the Avalon Ballroom was the single contribution to the series by poster artist Carl Lundgren. Lundgren was a chief contributor to the Grande Ballroom series and was responsible for creating some of the finest work for said famed venue. In every collectibles market there is feverish demand for those few one of a kind posters that are the top 1% of the top 1%. Here is your chance to acquire a rare 9.9 grade museum quality original poster for yourself!
The experienced collectors we talk to are 100% convinced that posters that have somehow miraculously earned a 9.9 or 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 in regards to the values of rare coins comic books baseball cards paper money postage stamps etc. Because independent authentication and grading of concert posters is still in it’s 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. We first discussed this opportunity in our blog dated 8/19/16 and recently updated it on 6/18/18. We highly recommend you read each blog carefully if you are interested in participating in this exciting segment of the marketplace.
