COREY (VOICEOVER): Austin is known as the live music
capital of the world.
So while we're here in Texas, I'm
definitely looking for some vintage music items
that we could resell.
Hey, Sienna. How are you doing?
I'm good. How are you doing?
So these are the posters?
This is everything, yes.
This is what I wanted to show you.
[music playing]
COREY: Go ahead and tell me what you got here.
SIENNA: So on the end here, we have Willie Nelson.
The artist's name is Garrett, and you
can tell that it's him because he has that little palm tree.
That's his calling card.
And then as we move down, this artist
right here, Jim Franklin, huge in the Austin music scene.
He's really big into that hippie movement, when, like,
having long hair was like the worst thing you could do.
And Michael Pierce, fantastic artist
who's really big into the Armadillo World Club.
He was really interested in those bands
that shaped the Austin music scene,
one of those being Bo Diddley.
And this one's my personal favorite.
Got his real signature right here.
And which one's that one?
This one is Butthole Surfers.
So they bridged the gap between '70s rock and '80s punk.
A lot of their stuff isn't on the radio because what they say
is a little bit explicit, but still a fantastic artist.
COREY: Yeah, I remember them.
I remember they had their, like-- they
had that massive hit, "Pepper," for a minute.
SIENNA: Yeah.
COREY: OK.
I mean, you have Willie Nelson here.
This guy basically changed country music.
He was part of, like, the outlaw country thing in the '70s.
SIENNA: Absolutely.
And Bo Diddley right up there with BB King.
But, I mean, this guy played with Chuck Berry.
SIENNA: Albert King, ZZ Hill.
This one feels a little bit light.
You managed to keep these things in really, really good shape.
How much are you looking to get out of all these?
I'm thinking 3,300.
COREY: OK.
They all seem legitimate.
They all seem cool.
A lot of these things could be re-popped quite a bit.
Right. COREY: I'll tell you what.
What I'd like to do is my dad reached out
to an Austin music historian.
Do you mind if I give her a call, and have her come down,
and take a look at everything? - Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, of course. - All right.
Well, let me give her a phone call real quick,
and I'll be right back.
All right?
SIENNA: Perfect, OK.
- Sienna, this is Leea. - Hi, Sienna.
Good to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
I'm glad you're here.
LEEA: Oh, wow.
What a great little group of posters.
SIENNA: Oh, thank you.
So these are all really people who
became important to the Austin music scene.
Do you have any questions about anyone in particular?
One of my concerns is I know a lot of these
get re-popped and redone.
And this one, the paper kind of feels a little bit off to me.
Could you take a look at it for me?
It's interesting that you say that because this is actually
exactly the paper you want to feel when you
hold one of these handbills.
They were printed on the cheapest paper
because they were used for cheap advertising.
These were stuck around on telephone poles.
They were left in stacks at record stores.
OK.
This is really authentic.
OK.
Well, that makes a lot of sense.
Another thing that I just noticed,
so one thing that Jim Franklin is known for
is that he never made corrections to his drawings
after he finished them.
And you can see here, where there's an ink blob,
and he just left that.
If someone was faking this up, they'd
probably correct that and make it look nice and, you know,
pristine.
While they really have been taken care of,
they do have appropriate bends.
Not a big deal.
I would say these are, in my opinion,
all authentic, all really bona fide.
COREY: OK.
So what do you think they're worth?
Altogether, all of them, I'd say 4,900.
OK.
Well, a little bit better than you thought, right?
That sounds good.
COREY: I appreciate you coming down--
LEEA: Sure. - --and helping me out.
Glad do it. Thanks a lot.
Thank you. LEEA: Nice to see you.
COREY: So you heard what Leea said.
I know you're asking 33, but I have to frame these.
I'm kind of feeling the $2,000 area.
SIENNA: OK.
Um, anywhere closer to three?
COREY: I'll go 2,500 bucks.
[squeals]
Can we do, like, 2,970?
I'll go 2,900.
OK, fine.
OK? Well, come with me.
I'll get you paid. - OK.
And I'll have my guys come pick this stuff up.
Perfect.
