Here we have an original poster not only in TOP CGC Graded 10 condition but it is also a run of unique concerts of musicians at the very beginning of their path to major success. Buffalo Springfield was the Rock/Folk springboard that launched several prominent Southern California musicians and one noteworthy Canadian. The third band on the bill Hourglass was an early band of Duane and Greg Allman. This odd sized Fillmore poster has three different pre-concert print variations. This beautiful 10.0 graded example is the first.
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 its 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.
