hey, maybe one of you guys can actually help me out on something

I have some great concert posters in my stash, including that classic Springsteen at the Bottom Line poster
I'm wondering what that specific poster is worth today, as well as a stack of 30 or so other posters I have.. is anyone here up to snuff on these values.

alternatively.. where can I find list of concert posters values??

I can't think of the site right now, Rich, but I know there is at least one forum out there that is dedicated to these posters.  Obviously, they are popular and expensive.  But I have no idea on pricing.  My only wish with the concert posters is that they did more in larger formats.  They all seem to be something like 11x17 or so.

contemporary posters - yes.. older posters.. I used to sell them 35 years ago and for the most part (in New York at least) they were all 1 sheet size and used for wilding

I don't ever recall seeing one displayed at an actual venue

today of course, they're either displayed on telephone poles, or in ticket windows which is why they have a small size

oh.. I forgot, they also were printed as Falmily Dog and Filmore posters at a window card size.
I must have had 3000 of those at one point in the late 70s

Isn't this Gigposters.com's turf?  For example, here are the Led Zeppelin posters.

Wolfgang's Vault sells a lot of vintage concert posters too.

I checked both
Wolfgang has sold the poster but doesn't have one listed

sadly, most sites, unless they have posters listed for sale, do not keep reference available

Heritage has sold the poster, but not for 5 years. their last sale was $358

Rich,
  You got any 13th Floor Elevators posters?  This is the only one I ever got, mint condition, first printing:



I have a bunch of modern concert posters, mostly Guided By Voices, but I think the above one is the only vintage one I got.
