1Tlew0 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I received this poster a few weeks back from my friends mom. I tried searching this forum and browsed through google with no luck. Does anyone have info on this? Is it rare? Its quite large at 58" tall and 39" wide. I'm pretty new to the site, so if I posted in the wrong area, let me know. Thanks, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryder1978 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I bought that same poster when I was a kid in the 70's. I grew up in a small rural town in Nebraska...and our local store had it, so I doubt it is rare or valuable. There was also a Queen one and a KISS one in that size. I still have all three of mine in a closet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 All the photos were taken during the 1973 & 1975 tours, so this poster was most likely released in the US circa 1977. It doesn't seem to have a publisher's name at the bottom, which would normally rule out being an official promo poster and suggests instead it may have been unlicensed. I've seen these posters in mint condition sell for $50 to $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen these posters in mint condition sell for $50 to $100. I bought it at Woolco in around 1977-78.. it's long gone now. You can't really tell by the photo, but if it's the same size as my old poster, this poster is quite large. (edit: But if I read more carefully ... I would have seen the dimensions.) Nice I had a BOC poster that was the same size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Historian Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 That's a cool poster. Haven't seen that one before. Don't get me started on what I HAD and what I LOST....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagittarius Rising Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Yep, had the same poster myself, bought it in 78' and had it until by brother sold it in 89' with all the rest of my Zep (and other bands) collectibles. Gotta love family! My favorits though were two black light posters I had, one said Led Zeppelin and had some super freaky crazy mystical wizard atop a mountain flying through space. The other was a take on the back of the third album in funky colors and another space type scene. I guess that tells where my head was at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reswati Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Lol, still have this one, in an un-folded condition. Never realized that it was worth anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty new to the site, so if I posted in the wrong area, let me know. Thanks, Tim Mass produced unofficial poster, all pics from LA 73 and LA 75. Photography by James Fortune. Not really worth anything in that folded condition. I've seen one mint, unopened sell recently for about $25. He also did the famous "dove shot" poster of Robert, which came out about the same time.
