Knowledgable collectors always point to this issue as one of the “sleepers” in the series as it is deceptively difficult to locate in true MINT condition. Damaged used copies can be found with just moderate effort and there are a number of pieces that “just miss” the MINT designation. The brown paper that serves as the canvas for this artwork was easily damaged and crisp copies that are in pristine shape are readily snapped up at the rare times they hit the market. We suggest that experienced collectors check their own collection when considering this special offering as we highly suspect that those in your holdings will not grade out at TRUE MINT upon fresh and conservative inspection. This piece is the epitome of MINT. The surfaces are totally pristine and the edges and corners are truly immaculate. . There are no nicks cuts tears pinholes or restoration of any kind. This impossible to find GEM measures 13 61/64” x 19 31/32”and would represent a HUGE upgrade for even the most advanced holdings. This poster was designed by the legendary Stanley Mouse and Alton Kelley and advertises the fabulous Bo Diddley. One of the best posters you could ever own from the entire Avalon series!
