2nd Printing. Picked it up at a local record shop. Wolfgangs has it listed for 302$ USD, which is a little less than i bought this for. Bought it to get Ray/Robby to sign it. Was this a good deal for this poster?

It was about the best he had there (to get signed tonight) aside from some big $$$ 1st printings.

I've got the same one (2nd printing with the ticket info in white) hanging on my wall. I paid $120 for it and had it framed. It's in NM, flawless condition.

I knew a woman who had an original 1970 Baltimore Doors concert poster- she traded for *prints* of Fillmore east photos with a famous collector, she got totally burned on the deal..but didn't seem to mind....

I always wondered- what was her poster worth? She attended the show, and begged the venue for the poster, which they gave her...
I got the setlist from her, and gave that to Greg Shaw...

Well, as you said, she "got totally burned" on that deal.....I've never seen the actual poster up for auction/sale, only thing I've ever seen is a poster of its artwork going up for auction.
Traded it for FE photos??ouch....it's definetly worth thousands of $$$$ to the right collector..

I would say she got incinerated. One recently changed hands, but I have no idea what it sold for.

My guess it's worth well over $10,000

If it was from Doors collector 'BH', that was the one...


I'm quite content to buy modern reprints of period concert posters- provided they are accurate replicas of the originals..
