Hey Jimi Hendrix fans! We are pleased to offer this amazing piece by legendary Grande Ballroom poster artist Gary Grimshaw. This Hendrix poster is on everyone’s short list of all time favorites! The specimen being offered here is just the second...and without a doubt... the FINEST CGC Graded example we have ever handled. It's simply stunning sharp and well preserved.
When it comes to Psychedelic era rock ‘n roll collecting Jimi Hendrix is clearly THE “Poster Child”! No other musicians from this time period enjoy more worldwide demand than Jimi Hendrix. The incredibly limited availability of museum quality posters is far outweighed by the thousands of enthusiastic collectors around the world that are in constant search of this irreplaceable material.
This is only the SECOND CGC graded example we have ever offered. In February 2018 a lower graded 9.2 example realized $4612 in our auction. This poster is in a different universe quality wise than that one. This is similiar in quality rarity and desirability to The Who CNE Auditorium poster we sold earlier this year that was graded 9.6 and realized $8061.00.
In any other collectibles market this poster would be worth many multiples of the previously sold 9.2 example. It will be interesting to see what premium the market attaches to this superior 9.6 example now. An amazing original first printing poster in amazing museum quality condition! This is the one you've been waiting for!
