Original 1978 Prince “For You” poster sells for $797 on eBay

In an auction format on eBay on June 1st, an original unsigned Prince For You poster from 1978 sold for $797 with 16 bidders fighting it out.  I was excited to see that because I also have one...and it’s signed too!  My understanding is that these posters were promo only and just sent out to radio stations in the Twin cities area in Minnesota.  The posters are supposedly very rare.  I don’t know how many still exist, but I’ve got to believe that there are very, very few signed ones in existence.  Anyway, here is a pic of the one that sold.  If you have ever collected sports cards, it’s almost always a player’s rookie card that may become valuable if the player becomes a star.  Well, this is kind of like Prince’s rookie card (poster) because Prince For You was Prince’s first studio album.  

Now that’s one expensive poster!  When I was a kid, I think I bought the original red swimsuit  Farrah Fawcett poster for about $3.  I could never have imagined then that a poster could ever be worth that much.  But then again, who would have imagined a Mickey Mantle rookie card worth close to $100,000 in mint condition?
