Vintage Brian Ralph Concert Postcard / Flyer for a Wednesday, September 3, 1997 show at Coney Island High in New York City featuring Dumbwaiters, Elf Power, Harvey Danger, Home, Meringue and Illyah Kuryahkin

Origins: Greg Glover of the Arena Rock Recording Company sent this to my record store in 1997 to help promote the concert (and to give me something awesome to admire since I was an outspoken admirer of the early ARRCO releases). The card has a metered postmark of August 14, 1997 from New York, NY. 

Comments: I have no idea how many of these were printed. Have you seen another? The postcard did travel through the US Mail, but it is still in remarkably good condition. The postcard/flyer art was done by Brian Ralph before he became well known for his graphic novels. One side of the card reproduces original Brian Ralph art while the other reproduces hand-lettered concert information.

Size: Approximately 8 3/4 x 4 1/4 inches.

Construction: Printed on quite heavy, fairly stiff, brown cardstock / cardboard. The postcard weighs 4 tenths of an ounce if that helps you visualize its heft.

Condition: I think it's fair to say this is in excellent condition. The address of my record store on the card was hand written by Arena Rock honcho Greg Glover. The art and text still look great. Wear from traveling through the mail is relatively minor. The card didn't suffer mangling or creasing in its travels. There is light edge wear. There is a USPS barcode seen faintly on the art side near the bottom from left side to center. It is hard for me to tell if any other irregularities in the art are native to the print or a result of postal travel. (I think they're mostly part of the art except for maybe a small spot near the center bottom of the shirt.)

This will be shipped with carboard padding for protection.

For items to be delivered outside of the USA, buyers should be aware that any customs fees / taxes that are required by your government are your responsibility and are not covered by the cost of the item or the shipping charges.

I promise to pack your item securely, no matter what it is. Everything I ship gets packed well, so don't worry about a thing. 

If appropriate I will add insurance coverage. Sometimes I will add signature tracking (USA) when your item is shipped. Signature tracking ensures that the postal service doesn't leave your valuable item unattended on your doorstep out in the sun or rain - it has to be handed over face to face. If you order something rare and/or worth a bit, be prepared to have to accept delivery in person.

When multiple items are shipped together, I can almost always give you a better deal on the shipping cost compared to the individual shipping costs. I promise to give you the best rate possible based on the items purchased and the shipping method required.

For "Buy It Now" items (most of what I offer), simply add each item that you want to your shopping cart. When ready to commit to buying, request a total from me from your cart and I'll send an invoice as soon as I can. Since I'm not a computer and I do other things like sleep and take the dogs for walks, you might not receive an immediate response, but I will get back to you as soon as possible. If you decide to pay for items you want individually instead of requesting a total from the shopping cart, I will promptly send back whatever money I can for a shipping discount.
  • Some items are not compatible for combined shipping. 
  • Combining shipping might require changing the shipping method or increase packaging materials expense. 
  • A few items that I offer are not eligible for combined shipping. 
  • Of course it is ok to ask about combined shipping costs up front. You have to tell me exactly what you intend to buy and where it will be shipped. I can't always give an exact cost, but I can at least give you an estimate.
  • I reserve the right to limit the number or total value of items that I'm willing to send in a single package.
  • For international sales I use ebay's international shipping program. Combined shipping depends on the ebay shipping program rules in place at the time of shipment. It is possible that no combined shipping discount is available for international orders.
