Welcome to Starting a Poster Collection. Today we're going to talk about great posters, to
posters that are going to end up on the Antique's Roadshow. The first example of an excellent
quality poster, is this Utopia poster. It's a band which is highly collectible, its lead
member is a gentlemen by the name of Todd Runbren. And it's a tour poster from 1981,
it's got a very interesting image, and you can tell it's authentic by looking at it;
if you look at the back of the poster, you can see that the back of the poster has a
yellow aging of the paper, and the paper on the front also has that same yellow again.
Next, you move to something which I think is one of the best posters made in the last,
probably, five years. I think the art is very well done, it's numbered here in this corner,
and it's signed here in this corner, and I think that this poster over the next five
to ten years will go from a value from anywhere between 20 bucks and to 100 dollars. Because
it is still in mint condition, there's no damage on it, and it's just a good quality
poster all the way around. Our last item is this tiny little handle for the Red Hot Chili
Peppers. And this is done by the artist Frank Cozik. This gentlemen is credited with bringing
back Rock Art into the rock world; and this is one of his earliest items, it's actually
signed by him, which is very, very bizarre because he didn't sign the very first ones
that he did, because as the gentlemen who I bought this from said, he was just some
skater punk who was looking for some extra money. So, it's an original item, and it's
of a very, very, very collectible band, The Red Hot Chili Peppers. This is a fabulous
poster, because it just meets all the criteria. It's in great shape, it's signed, it's authentic,
it's by the artist. It's just wonderful.
