The Grateful Dead played a pair of shows at the short-lived Family Dog Venue in Denver Colorado in 1967. This advertisement for said event is a real sleeper among Dead posters. Features skull imagery with a “pig nose”. In addition “Grateful Dead” is spelled out in the Skull's teeth.
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.
