Pair of original 1st printing 14 x 22&1/8" cardboard boxing-style poster for the inimitable Smothers Brothers appearing at the Assembly Hall on the campus of Hunter College in New York City on 11/5/1962. Design by Murray Poster of NYC, thick cardboard stock poster is in used (B-/C+) condition; a pair of 1&1/2-2" diagonal sections of missing paper in the top corners, a pair of large horizontal tears in the left/right margins (about 6" each, reinforced on the reverse with clear tape), heavy edge wear/chipping, several pronounced diagonal bends, a large tape mark along the bottom edge, toning, etc... this poster was quite obviously pulled down from public display at the time of the event by an enthusiastic Brothers fan. Additionally, this poster has been HAND-SIGNED by BOTH Tom and Dick Smothers in ballpoint pen (probably at the show- see close-ups). Conditional issues aside, this is a REALLY cool-looking boxing-style event poster from the pre-psychedelic era, personally autographed two of the most popular entertainers of the decade.
