The Big 5” was a closed club of the best 5 male poster artists - No Girls allowed! MacLean designed this poster and its actual issuance was between BG-3 and BG-4 in the series. Bonnie was married to Bill Graham and managed the art department for the Fillmore. She was one of the most prominent artists in the Fillmore series!

 

Demand for CGC graded examples of this issue clearly overwhelm this tiny supply! Since the inception of PAE over 10 years ago we have consistently advised collectors to focus on the first 30 issues of the Bill Graham series. History has proved our advise was correct then and we are sticking with it now! These early issues from the first year of the Fillmore Auditorium represent amazing values at current price levels.
