The Hendrix poster in the center is mind blowing for so many reasons.

[@dfahmie1]

I was crying right along with her. I bet she misses her brother.

[@darklordojeda]

Brought a tear to my eye too

[@ericpabon2458]

me too

[@lrajek3389]

She didn't even know when he died.

[@lrajek3389]

@Jack Money Did I saw anything about a specific date?

[@kgirlartist66]

I think her brother would be thrilled that she kept them- and that they are worth so much! Very COOL!!

[@jimsmith1277]

This was nice to see; and it brought a happy tear to my eye. I love all the bands in these posters, and was fortunate to see some of them (especially The Grateful Dead) perform live many times. So sorry for this lady's loss of her brother; but so happy to see her so excited and happy to have the memorabilia. No matter what she decides to do with them, I'm sure she will make a choice her brother would approve of.

[@JL0ndon]

Those posters are amazing

[@DRCRANKNSTEIN]

she's a nice sweet lady...I hope she get's paid and puts the money to good use, in something that makes her very happy.

[@wolfgangk1]

I have that same impression. Many of the folks are disgustingly disappointed when they learn that their STUFF isn't worth millions.

[@niceguy2171]

She said it best when she said "amazing", the artwork on them is just so far beyond what they have done since. and that is a fine collection.

[@royalt3690]

Now that is an amazing collection! Posters usually get rolled up and tossed to the side, but hers look almost perfect. Wow!

[@deanmendoza6310]

It's good to see humble people and you can feel they have a good heart. Her valuables are not that expensive but she is very appreciative and contented!

[@designx8693]

She seems to be happy that this thing her brother used to do ended up being so cool and valued. Great collection.

[@shannonpincombe8485]

These posters are AMAZING!!! I love sixties psychedelia.. Born too late.

[@raccoonchronicles5134]

Oh, I hear ya!!! Flower, power, summer of love and I MISSED IT. I would've been the ultimate flower child.

[@darinsingleton3553]

Still, we're all glad you finally made it, and happy you arrived.

[@zach4216]

Same

[@georginashanti4605]

I get the feeling that the nostalgia and the connection to her brother was beyond the value of the posters. Like a pleasant surprise for her. I hope she is displaying them proudly now, somewhere.

[@StevenCarinci]

Sell them to the Hard Rock cafe or the Rock 'n' Roll HOF so they can keep them preserved AND on display as they are timeless works of art.

[@rondarnell949]

The R-n-R HOF would make a special room for them , seeing that are so many. Amazing. I wish they would have at least scanned of the rest of them to see what else was in there. Some Neil Young, and Janice Joplin, and the band would be neat to see. Their manager was a jerk. And wouldn't film a lot of live concerts

[@AJR-zg2py]

I'd be getting the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on the phone (with the help of this appraiser) and decide on an arrangement that benefits both parties - they get priceless rock artifacts, I'd get financial compensation. These are priceless and deserve to be preserved where everyone can see them. The HOF would be perfect.

[@tonya2646]

She is wonderful!

[@donfisher8035]

That teen was ahead of his time, getting direct from the makers. Kid is making his sister cry.

[@jean-yvesmartin6934]

She's so sweetly happy...heartwarming

[@danholo]

The art in these posters is beautiful. Amazing works.

[@billbrooks9088]

They are priceless!!!! Period!!!!!!!!!!

[@mattmayo3539]

Her brothers legacy lives on.

[@emilyspecter9532]

I love these, some really cool examples of psychedelic art with art nouveau imagery.

[@krakhedd]

I really dig her vibe and gratitude

[@DevinSheaProductions]

The night I spent at the Fillmore West, was one of the best nights of my life. You can see all these posters hanging there.

[@Baz7575]

there goes the brothers collection !!

[@PlanetRockJesus]

You can't take it with you!

[@jeffjackson9679]

IKR. She'll probably sell them to Rick at Pawn stars for pennies on the dollar, then blow that money on weed, LSD, and a cirque du soleil show.

[@jasonmichael3676]

@@jeffjackson9679 You should start your own pawn shop.

[@lrajek3389]

I knew it as soon as she said she was adding it up. If the collection had meant anything to her, it wouldn't have been in a box under the mother's bed for almost thirty years. She had no idea where they were.

[@1ACL]

I hope they were kept together. They are more culturally valuble as a collection, I would think.

[@marvinroos3520]

One of the fun facts accompanying these posters is you could see Hendrix, BB King and John Mayall for $3 and walk out at the end of the evening with next week's poster!

[@connieadams607]

Thank Goodness for Mother keeping them under the bed for so many decades. Your brother would be So Happy 😁🙌

[@shorttimer874]

In the mid 70's I was on vacation in Lahaina on Maui and came across a Peter Max shop. I couldn't afford anything, but spent quite a bit of time in there drooling.

[@timothyadolphson6242]

Wow that was a huge low ball!! Even if they sold for $2,000.00 a piece(bottom dollar) x 47 the auction estimate would be $94,000.00 not 35..

[@jasonmichael3676]

Contact the show and buy them for $35,000.

[@namcat53]

Some are thousands, most are hundreds even in pristine condition.

[@namcat53]

There are very affordable protective archive portfolios for these. You save space and cost by looking through them like a large book. Store them flat in a cool, dry place. These will be worth more every year.

[@fostexfan160]

"Hi.....Rick from pawn stars here"....."Listen Doll.....The problem you have is that they're paper posters, and paper tends to deteriorate over time.....I'll give you 50 cents each for them......"

[@BJBDF]

Now that's funny.

[@jeffhammers5677]

Jerry Miller was the Moby Grape guitarist. He told me that he was on the mailing lists for all the San Francisco promoters and got stacks of posters.a month. Once he borrowed a wheelbarrow to haul them all to a dumpster

[@robbied2113]

Keep a few you like best and hang them up and sell the rest. Good for her

[@marthawerbiansky3353]

Nothing left to do but..SMILE..SMILE..SMILE ✌️😎

[@barbarjinks8170]

What a sweet lady, she loved her brother.

[@jakecooper5855]

I hope she sold them, the true gift her brother left was the money to have some great experiences with. These posters are at their absolute peak in value right now, and will only go down later. The people collecting these are the kids that grew up with the music, and are now successful people with plenty of money to buy nostalgic items.

[@dogroferifno]

Amazing, I have one postcard I would love to have this collection

[@happyraccoon4791]

We use to go the The Haight. Johhny, the artist would simply take posters off the poles. Still has them. Hundreds. Like these, Grateful Dead with skull and roses, etc. We (Jay, next to me now) saw Hendrix Mayhal and King.

[@brianwells4507]

Bill Graham would go through San Francisco and staple the gig posters on poles. On his way back he saw most of them were gone! So he reached out to shop and store owners. Display the poster for a week, then keep the poster. They knew they were on to something even then. And probably the reason some mint ,1st editions turn up at auction.

[@happyraccoon4791]

@@brianwells4507 We did light shows, too, for BG, Chet Helms. I'm going to talk to Johnny soon. He could use a few $$ thousand.

The Filmore still has and displays most every poster they put out inside the SF venue...

[@theexperiment8498]

So sweet

[@IsaacConejo]

Awesome good for her!

[@aimeem9867]

These posters were her brother's gift to her from the afterlife. 🙏

[@2k_]

her reaction is genuine unlike many others

[@thaddeusmcgrath]

2:43 The sound when the Milk Bone box gets shaken and Goldie gets excited.

[@michaelmarquez6133]

What was that noise she made at 2:44 haha

[@ShredCo]

Love those Hendrix prints.

[@davidskaar3232]

Glad the posters survived.

[@syx3s]

the pinholes would add more sentimental value because they know whom made them.

[@linusfotograf]

I hope she sells them to a collector so she can enjoy her life for a bit.

[@pottingsoil]

Wasn't sure which one was the expert until the video started.

[@19blaktop]

Lol same here..

[@davidcantwell2489]

The flying eyeball design was ripped off from the Infamous pinstriper Kenny Howard aka Von Dutch from the late 50s.

[@hippydippy]

It wasn't ripped off... It was an inspiration just like any art is.

[@nealmckeown7674]

This was from 7 years ago, a lot of these posters have doubled and tripled in value, but the flying eyeball a first print and would easily fetch $20K in today’s market. If it was graded at a 9.5 or higher, it could easily sell for over $50K today

[@namcat53]

That's not accurate.

[@nealmckeown7674]

A Flying Eyeball sold for $70K at “Sixtiesposters” last month

[@jja1483]

The fact that they even exist after all these years people should be grateful 😏

[@LLoBBHa]

Not gonna lie these posters are awesome

[@wolfgangk1]

It hurts to know that her brother is gone at an early age. His gift to the family.

[@scottmiller8396]

SOLD

[@vincentwilliams2000]

Pawn Stars would be like, "I'll give you $4,000. I'm gonna have to frame them, sell them individually, and they'll sit around for a while."

HA!

[@jacksonmarshallkramer5087]

There's nothing that is as cool as it was in the 60s-80s. No current stadium bands. Never another Van Halen, Pink Floyd, Ozzy, or Journey. No Chevelle's, or Hemi Cudas. Everything now is a copy and copies are NEVER as sought after like the originals.

[@patboudotlamot]

[@jetcitysinatra7300]

I should have kept my rock posters. I had quite a few.

[@shyammalkan6578]

I loved my brother but i like the money 🤑🤑 more now 😭😭😭

[@tuckerjones5899]

Talk about a gift from the grave

[@axiomist1076]

They used to cost 5 dollars in the 60s. Id hate to get rid of them, but for 30 grand Id do it. I would keep the eyeball though, and have it framed in an ornate gold colored frame, then get a couple of real good ounces and a real nice pipe at a tobacconist shop and just chill around the house with the dough in a big bowl and later satisfy the munchies with some fine french food.

[@namcat53]

$1-$2. In the 70's they were $5-$10, then they went up a lot in the 80's and 90's....$20-$40, now......a lot more depending on the version.

In Britain the Antique Road Show used to get 10,000,000 viewers every sunday

[@RealisticCookingIRL]

I imagine most of them died since they were most likely quite old.

If we all could find our stuff in a box under a mother's bed sigh...

[@AnubisXII]

When I watch these videos I try to put myself in the position of the person with the stuff. I like this lady. I hate the fact that she lost her brother. But man. What would I do? Thats some great cash for something she didn't know about two years ago. But once you sell something.. It's gone. Gone forever.

[@ziffyziff3321]

I'd just keep 2 or 3 and enjoy the money for the rest. I'm sure her brother would be ok with that

How are the top 3 worth 10 grand and the other 44 only worth 10 grand when he hasn't even looked through them all 🤔

[@danjwalker]

I'm sure he looked at them all and for the sake of the segment, only displayed the top 3 posters. They usually research items before they record.

[@888strummer]

They probably research all of them and showcase the top 3. Some of the others might have had rips, creases, or tack holes or tape residue.

[@deanroddey2881]

Does she need a bunch of posters? Does someone else probably want them? If not and if so, why on earth would she not sell them? If a relative of yours dies and leaves you something of value that you don't need are you going to burn it or sell it? People are just so ridiculously judgmental, usually based on almost zero information.

[@RandomPlayIist]

Yeah, so? The majority of items on here are items passed down by other family members. What's wrong with her selling them?

[@linusfotograf]

Would you rather have her return them to the drawer underneath the bed?
