It is being offered in its existing vintage condition.The imperfections should be considered part of the history and character of this surviving promotional piece.⸻IMPORTANT FORMAT INFORMATIONThere is also an 8½” × 14” flyer documented for the same January 18, 1986 Roxy concert.This listing is NOT for that smaller flyer.This listing is specifically for the larger approximately 14” × 22” Colby-printed poster shown in the photographs.The dimensions and printer’s information are included to help distinguish this piece from other versions and reproductions of the artwork.⸻COLLECTOR’S NOTEThe January 18, 1986 Roxy show occurred during the very early years of Guns N’ Roses, making surviving original promotional material from this period particularly interesting to collectors.Please do your own research before offerding.Because this is an unusual piece and the exact 14” × 22” Colby version does not appear to have an established public sale history that I have been able to locate, I encourage serious collectors to examine the photographs carefully and ask any questions before offerding.
