These posters were cheaply made, especially the earlier ones. I doubt anyone ever envisioned that they would someday become collector items. They were intended to be posted on walls, telephone poles, etc. To advertise that weeks performing artists only to be torn down, discarded and replaced next week with a new poster for the next show.

Also, the ones that hung in the venues tended to be larger. Thin poster card stock, for the majority of the posters. Some of the early ones were on paper, and other posters were on somewhat thicker card stock. Most handbills were on thin paper stock, however several were on poster card stock.
