WOW!!! A very rarely graded 10 masterpiece! We love Van Morrison here at PAE and this poster showcases Wes Wilson's artwork incorporating the Ohm symbol from Eastern Religion something many hippies on the west coast were already familiar with. How rare is it to come across a PERFECT 10 original poster?!! Anyone can say they have a decent copy but examples that meet the super strict CGC grading standards of 10.0 can take literally a lifetime to locate. Diamonds such as these won't be around forever. A similar example previously realized the high water mark of $575 at auction. 


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 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.
