Signed Soundgarden concert poster Emek Los Angeles Forum 7.22.2011
https://insidetherockposterframe.blogspot.com/2011/07/tonights-soundgarden-poster-from-los.html Glow in the dark Emek poster from Soundgarden's concert at the Los Angeles forum 7.22.2011. My understanding is that 15 posters were signed by the band and given away at random to concert goers. Looking to authenticate signatures and appraisal.
18" x 24"
I found this poster in an abandoned storage locker auction I purchased. After doing limited google research, I've found versions signed by the artist going for approx $750. no records of one signed by the band being sold that I've found. There's one listed on ebay for $6k. This item was not stored properly - just rolled up amongst a pile of junk for years. It has some condition issues - small creases and edge dings mostly. The upper section of the back which was the outside of the roll is very dirty. I think it will display well. I confirmed it glows in the dark. The photos I took appear to have some yellowing in the lower left corner -- that's not real, it's a reflection of the bright yellow measuring tape I'm using as a weight. Thank you.

Hi Ian,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The $750 that you've seen is a RETAIL price; the values Mearto provides are FAIR-MARKET, for auction purposes, which tend to be 2-3 times LESS than retail pricing (in this case, a corresponding fair-market / auction value for the poster you've seen priced at $750 would be $250-375). Of course, that doesn't take into account the signatures of Kim Thayll, Matt Cameron, Ben Shepherd and Chris Cornell, which adds an additional $1,000-1,200 to this poster. I've rounded up the overall values to comply to standard auction estimates.
We can't authenticate signatures from photos, though they look "right" to me. We have an option for authenticating in person, at a higher cost. If you're interested in that, please let me know and I'll have someone reach out to you.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
