1968 DOORS POSTER - COBO ARENA
I recently acquired an original 1968 Doors Poster advertising their appearance at Cobo Arena on May 11th. The poster was designed by the famous Gary Grimshaw. This poster is fairly scarce and was only printed prior to the concert. I also acquired an unused ticket from the concert and a Doors membership card that belonged to the owner of the poster and ticket. I was able to sell the poster for $1,800, it's value affected by the fact that it had accordion folds in it. Better examples tend to bring $3,000-4,500. The ticket sold for over $500 and the membership card for over $100. The market for original concert memorabilia is still strong in this unstable market. Vintage bands or artists can command big money if the item is right and original. Be leery of fakes and reproduction material. 499 out of 500 posters are likely a later printing.
