My collection was obtained from the famous Postermat store in San Francisco back in 1992. The collection had been sitting in a warehouse for over 20 years when I purchased it. Most of the posters are in near mint condition although many have minor signs of handling. The owner of Postermat, my boss Ben Friedman ran the store since the early 60's where he sold records as well as posters that covered the walls of his North Beach store. Postermat was a popular hang out and many famous celebrities including Janis Joplin, Grace Slick, John Lennon and Rick Griffin frequented the shop and called Ben their friend. A story about Ben and the history of the Postermat can be found in the book "The Art of Rock" on page 12.
