This very popular Wes Wilson poster promotes an early show by Van Morrison and his band Them. At a 9.8 it's THE FINEST CGC Graded Example of this issue we have ever offered. The highest grade we've ever held prior was a 9.4 which realized $874 in our January 2017 auction. In any other collectibles market this 9.8 poster would be worth many multiples of the previously sold 9.4 example. It will be interesting to see what premium the market attaches to this superior 9.8 example now. A real blue chip piece! We have reported extensively that demand for CGC graded 9.8 material is insatiable. It is unlikely we will see another dead-mint 9.8 example anytime soon so don't miss this opportunity!

Since the inception of PAE 10 years ago we have consistently advised collectors to focus on the first 30 issues of the Bill Graham series. History has proved our advise was correct then and we are sticking with it now. These early issues from the first year of the Fillmore Auditorium enjoy tremendous collector demand for the tiny and dwindling supply of high quality examples. We believe they represent amazing values at current price levels.
