An original poster promoting a 1953 Hank Williams concert in Canton sold for a record $150,000 at an auction Saturday.
The piece is one of the most coveted among collectors, because Williams never made it to the pair of New Year s Day shows at Canton Memorial Auditorium he died of a heart attack while en route. Only three posters for the Canton performance are known to exist.
The one sold in Saturday s online Heritage Auctions event originally was discovered in a Canton area barn, decades after Williams death, but had traded hands since. The cardboard poster was restored and reinforced, but still maintains traces of a crease in the middle from when it was folded.
