A rare Graded 10.0 original poster! Talk about GREAT! One of the coolest Chuck Berry posters in the Family Dog series–this one is from Denver and it is a lovely artwork collaboration by Moscoso and Griffin.
We have reported extensively in our blog that demand for anything related to Chuck Berry has absolutely gone through the roof since his untimely passing. We have also explained that demand outweighs supply 1000 to 1 when it comes to the tiny fraction of posters that have earned a grade over 9.8. We previously auctioned a 9.9 that realized $690 last year. How rare is it to come across a PERFECT 10 original poster?!! Anyone can say they have a decent copy but examples that meet the super strict CGC grading standards of 10.0 can take literally a lifetime to locate.
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.
