Coverage of Aretha Franklin's sad passing in August of last year has spurred worldwide interest in collectibles related to the legendary singer. Here we have only the second CGC Graded example of this amazing issue to appear in our auction and it's the FINEST QUALITY we've offered! Soul queen Aretha Franklin performed in LA at the Century Plaza Hotel and recorded a memorable live album! This example is in Super Clean Condition with no nicks tears cuts or pinholes! In December 2017 a lower 8.5 graded example reached $558 in our auction. In any other collectibles market this poster would be worth many multiples of the previously sold example. It will be interesting to see what premium the market attaches to this superior 9.2 graded example now!
