THERE IS "RARE THEN THERE IS "EXCEEDINGLY RARE". THIS ITEM IS THE LATTER.
We are immensely pleased to offer this true museum piece from the Grande Ballroom! On January 23 1970 Sheila Phillips married David Miller the M.C. of the Grande Ballroom. No poster was created for this event and very few survive in ANY condition today. But wow this amazing artifact looks like it was created for a wedding today!
Created on heavy vellum stock this handbill is as fresh as the day it was created over 48 years ago. While many hundreds of Grande Ballroom collectors are out there actively searching for this item only one lucky winner can call this museum piece their own; an opportunity that may not present itself again for many years to come!
Handbills such as this have traditionally been much easier to counterfeit than posters. CGC grading has brought much needed integrity to this marketplace and demand by collectors has now skyrocketed since they can buy with confidence.
