Money For Nothing

Because you got them Free !

In 1972 a news paper gave away a black and white poster of the pop icon Marc Bolan,this has now turned into a collector's item worth over £100.
.
Marc had massive hits with Children Of The Revolution,and Telegram Sam, with his band T Rex. Sadly Marc died in 1977 in a car crash in South West London he was 29.

The iconic poster shows why you should never throw away your old pop poster's whether they are from concerts or given away free.
Other posters worth looking out for are Rolling Stones,David Bowie, The Who, Jimi Hendrix
Iggi Pop, Roxy Music, The Clash.

Not so long ago a promotional poster of The Who at the Marquee Club went for over £5000 at London auction house Christie's, poster's of The Rolling Stone's especial from the 60's fetch between £100 to £150 and remember these poster's cost nothing.

Roger Crimlis author of Cult Rock Posters says in an interview with the Sun newspaper “that at the moment Punk rock poster's sell for more than any others.
They are important at the moment because next year is the 30th anniversary of Punk rock”.
Just to prove a point a poster of Punk rockers The Sex Pistols form a concert in 1977 sold on ebay for £1500.


You can increase the value of you poster's by framing them and if you have the ticket stubs from the concert then put them together, and don't forget while you are searching for old poster's the modern poster's will fetch money later on.
