Vintage concert posters can be big, big business with iconic artists’ psychedelic promotions of the 1960s a particular focus for many.
CGC , which is known for grading comic books, also grades concert posters, handbills and postcards , helping collectors weed out bad examples of posters and helps show the elite pieces on a 10-point scale.
One major dealer of these pieces, the Baltimore-based Psychedelic Art Exchange , recently completed an auction with many pieces that commanded good amounts of cold, hard cash — but may not have sold for as much as you might think.
