Sweet cap and Mecca prints
 

Looking for some advice. I found a few advertising prints I am maybe looking to purchase. I found some old prices from anywhere from 10 to 5 years ago from various places and was hoping people on here might have some concrete opinions on these. The Mecca print is 11x19 and the sweet cap is around double that size. Both on paper. Any opinions to value? These are out of my norm, but really cool.

well
 

sweet caporal looks to be glued down to a backing - couple hundred dollars maybe - more if those wrinkles are not actually there.
mecca possibly in the 350. range although a slightly less popular manufacturer so harder to sell.

Buy what you like in the best condition you can afford

I've owned the Sweet Cap and passed on the Mecca

no guarantees whether written or implied

No values information, but artistically and aesthetically, the Mecca wins out. As a bonus Mecca is the brand name associated with T201 Double Folder cards.

And it's an F. Earl Christy art piece, so it easily wins out; he's my favorite artist of that era. If you like and can buy both, get them. But the Mecca in the look and condition wins out for me.

Agree with John on the Mecca.

Thank you. Since it is a completely new venture for me with something like this I needed a few opinions. Basically the guy is asking $750 shipped for the pair. Although they will just go on my wall - I didn't want to jump on something that wasn't worth the expense, especially since I have found comps running from $700 to $47 LOL

Bryan,

I think $750 is fairly pricey. Probably more like $500 for the pair based on condition.
