We are very happy to finally have the FIRST CGC Graded 10 Example of BG-137 in our auction! It's not hard to understand why this is one of Rick Griffin's most popular and sought after posters. Just beautifully rendered! Amazing psychedelic image. Legendary artist. Famous venue. Spectacular condition with Perfect 10 CGC Grading! In September 2017 a lower 9.9 graded example reached the high water mark of $500 in our auction. In any other collectibles market this 10 poster would be worth many multiples of the previously sold 9.9 example. It will be interesting to see what premium the market attaches to this superior 10 example now.
The experienced collectors we talk to are 100% convinced that posters that have somehow miraculously earned a 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 its 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.
