The FD-26 is one of the undeniable stars of the 1960’s concert materials genre and its place in history is well known. This classic Mouse/Kelley design has survived the test of time and is easily one of the most recognized images in all of Rock. Posters in this shape are worth tens of thousands. An Original First Printing of this poster sold last year for $118 750 in another public auction!
This FD-26 HANDBILL offers you the opportunity to own the same famous art for far less and yet is extremely collectible in its own rite. This example here is an ORIGINAL pre-concert First Printing! We sold a similar specimen graded 9.4 for $4600 in September 2018. In September 2018 a non-CGC graded example described as "Near Mint" reached $7750 in another public auction. A staggering high water mark for unsigned Avalon material - we foresee this high quality super clean & pinhole free 9.2 example to enjoy spirited bidding from collectors craving to own this piece of history!
