The most coveted of all convention posters was done by Mad Magazine artist, Sergio Aragones. What makes this so rare is that only 300 were produced, it was printed on highly acetic cardboard stock and that most people that bought these gave them to their kids to color.
The reason collectors want it is because it is a visual depiction of what an early Comicon looked like, nearly half-a-century ago. Some of the events are still a big part of the conventions like guest speakers, movies and probably the most popular - costumes contests (Cosplay).

In my opinion, the only other artist who could have pulled this off would have been Marie Severin.
