Wow! Here we have the FIRST CGC Graded example of this poster to appear in our auction and it’s a very rare Supergrade 10! Artist Harry Rossit designed a fabulous image for this lively New Years Eve concert featuring Nirvana. We don’t come across Nirvana material that often because it can be so difficult to find which makes this example a real treat. The Gods of Grunge had just released their album "In Utero" which clearly inspired Rossit's poster design. We've noticed a recent climb in interest lately for concert material showcasing this iconic band. In November of last year another Nirvana New Years Eve 1991 poster (BGP-51 also designed by Harry Rossit) graded 9.8 realized $1380 in our auction. This New Years Eve 1993 issue Graded 10 you see here is at the top of the heap. For those who only want the best of the best!
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.
