This beautiful Cream poster from New Haven Arena in 1968 is super desirable and highly sought after by collectors. The legendary power-trio played two sets that night and some of the material was filmed and can be found online.

 

Eric Clapton’s grand position among the hierarchy of Rock and Blues masters is undeniable. His legend has propelled memorabilia and collectibles related to this star to soar over the decades. His guitars have sold for record shattering prices in recent years and continue to appreciate in value. One thing we at PAE have always noticed is how much Cream original material always enjoys top demand by collectors! This lot will prove to be no different! 

 

A 51 year old original poster of such an iconic group is sure to please the most worthy of collectors. In June 2018 a lesser quality graded Near Mint "83" example reached $2310 in our auction. Let the spirited bidding begin!
