This is your chance to own an original 1969 Woodstock poster! Please note: About 18 years ago, I bought this and several other original 1969 Woodstock posters and tickets from Norman Karp, the man who is noted as finding all of the unused Woodstock posters and tickets in safes he purchased from the Cross Safe Company. I went with him to three Las Vegas memorabilia shops where others of this EXACT Woodstock poster were on sale with prices ranging f...rom $1, 695.00 to $2, 250.00. I also researched Woodstock posters online and found a lot of conflicting information about how to tell original Woodstock posters from fakes. One was that, in the 18" X 24" size, there are very small red dots in the orange "3", "of", and "&" in the place that says "3 DAYS OF PEACE & MUSIC." One source mentioned fakes have the dots, others said originals have these dots. My posters have these red dots. Due to conflicting information, over the past fifteen years, I have compared my posters to posters owned by other collectors and have found no difference between mine and those I viewed. I also viewed magnified photos of other original Woodstock posters listed on eBay and, as near as I can tell, mine are an exact match. That being said, below is a version of the text I used the last time I have Woodstock posters listed on eBay:This Original Woodstock poster, a highly collectible piece of history measuring 18" X 24½, " was created by the artist Arnold Skolnick and is mounted in a 24" X 35" frame with a copy of a letter of authenticity signed by John Roberts, the producer of the Woodstock Festival attached to the back. Plexiglas protects the artwork as well as the photo of Woodstock. This poster is in near mint condition and look so good that it is nearly impossible to believe it is over 50 years old. My eBay feedback is nearly 100% positive, please read the comments of other eBay buyers.These items fantastic pieces of memorabilia that any serious collector would be proud to add to his or her collection. I will ship anywhere within 48 of the United States for the price listed. If you want this item sent U.S. Priority Mail, with insurance, or sent out of the U.S., there will be added cost. I offer a 30 day 100% money back guarantee with return shipping paid by the buyer.Bands scheduled to perform at Woodstock:Friday August 15, 1969Joan BaezArlo GuthrieTim HardinRichie HavensIncredible String BandRavi ShankarSly & the Family StoneBert SommerSweetwater Saturday, August 16, 1969Canned HeatCreedence Clearwater RevivalGrateful DeadKeef HartleyJanis JoplinJefferson AirplaneMountainQuillSantanaThe Who Sunday August 17, 1969The BandJeff Beck GroupBlood, Sweat & TearsJoe CockerCrosby, Stills, and NashJimi HendrixIron ButterflyTen Years AfterJohnny Winter
