Are you sure it was bought by a poster dealer? Unless they're using a second eBay ID, I don't think I know of any poster dealers with a feedback score of only 550.

On his feedback has bought expensive posters from Bob Marley,Dylan,the Contours,quite a wide selection...I just suppose is a dealer.But I may be wrong...

Ah, okay. I was thinking of the more well known dealers of sixties concert posters, and couldn't figure out who it could be.

I bought my first copy in Mill Valley(VILLAGE MUSIC) from the owner in 1993.The copy was stapled on the ceiling,covered with cellophane for more than 2 decades.Yellowed at the limit but surely original.The guy never sold a poster from the ceiling before(there were lot of rare ones over there)so the story made some noise between dealers also because I paid $1500 for it.This was just before the poster fair in SF. The year after just a month before the poster fair in SF somebody "found" around 50 copies in a basement in LA.It was a pretty strange coincidence.Dealers flying from NY to La to get some,a LA poster gallery got some, Andrew(at the time big Velvet dealer) got the rest. 50% had ink problems,some black from the lettering.But they were all in great conditions,no yellowing on the borders,like they were preserved properly or just printed...At the fair I got a mint copy from the LA gallery,traded for 1000 bucks.after few months one copy sold at Sothebys for 5000 pounds.but that doesnt count.the price fixed around 3000 for the mint & 1500/2000 for the ones with defects.Of course I confronted the 2 copies I was maybe the only one that could do it properly .Same paper, dimensions, ink...but still some doubt.how could it be after 28 years in a basement no mould,yellowing(at least around)etc?A friend of mine use to say"too good is suspicious"by the way I sold my mint copy few years ago & kept my old yellowed copy framed on my wall.

Ha! 50 mint copies sitting in a basement for decades?! You gotta be fucking kidding. No way in hell.

That's what I thought.But I couldnt prove the opposite.They may be real.Actually the guy that found them was eaten by the sharks.

Lemme just say that NOTHING stays mint in an LA basement without being protected from the elements. The would have had to be stored in an air-tight container and in the dark. And 50 of 'em?

It really is hard to remember how lovely Lou's voice could be back in the day; this concert is really a treat.
