ABBA Original 1979 Official North American Tour Concert Poster

Description

This is one of those needle in the haystack stories.
I bought this poster while in college with my girlfriend, at yard sale in Rockville Maryland in 1982.
I paid 2 bucks for it, took it home and put it in a tube and it has been with me ever since.
I had forgotten about it until recently, I was cleaning out the attic a couple months ago and there was the tube mixed in with some books, 8tracks and cassettes.
The poster has some writing on it, that says ABBA and DAR 97. If this is the case it would have been a poster used to promote the concert at DAR Constitution Hall ( the poster would have been used at DAR itself ) in October 4th of 1979.
That concert would be canceled and never re-scheduled (  it was the only show that was canceled ).
Apparently Agnetha ( blonde singer ) caught food poisoning in Boston the night before and spent time in the hospital recovering before they moved onto Montreal for the October 6th show. They would never even travel to D.C. ! Too bad for the fans that had tickets for the sold out show. As luck would have it, it was ABBA's one and only Tour of the USA and they would break up, just a year or two later.
I contacted 3 high end and very well respected Poster Shops in LA, NY and London. I told them the story, then they filed me in, on the history of the poster and the tour. They basicly said, that I have a litte gem on my hands and that it was a poster that would turn up from time and was sought after.
I sent the pictures and all 3 of the shops we're very interested in buying the poster but I respectfully declined. So here it is listed on EBay for all ABBA fans to see.
The poster is in good to very good condition and the body of the poster is clean and colors are bright. The corners have pin holes and small tears ( sixteenth of an inch around the boarder ) and I have provided pics to see. I would rate this poster a 6/7 on a scale of 1 - 10. If you linenback the poster it would enhance the look I'm immediately and increase the long term value.
All of my items are original and authentic.
Shipping is Avaiable via usps.
Good Luck 🌞
