We’re closing in on Christmas once again, so let‘s imagine you won the ‚Golden
Ticket‘ and you could trade it for a SINGLE collectible, regardless of price
and usual availability. You got the ‚Golden Ticket‘, so it would be yours for
the asking. What would it be? For me, the answer is fairly simple and it is a
vintage concert poster. Actually, Heritage auctioned it TWICE this year:

Back in the 1980s, I had an ‘original fake poster‘ for this show on my wall
for many years. While they copied the style quite well, was nothing like the
original, but back then nobody knew what the original even looked like. And
even if people had tried (and I‘m sure they didn‘t) it might‘ve been a
challenge to find out what the original line-up for the night was. I had
always wondered what the original had looked like. At least that question is
answered now. Needless to say, I always dreamed of owning an original. I
could‘ve given it a try at Heritage of course, and who knows, I may have even
succeeded. But once I started adding the costs and aggravation of the then
inevitable ‚divorce-after-the-fact‘ I thought it might be a better idea to not
register for these sales. After all, how much sense does even a nice poster
like this one make if you don’t have a wall to hang it? I did send another
message to the universe though, so not all hope is lost. Cheers, Helmut
