This lot is tied for the FINEST QUALITY CGC graded example of this popular Grateful Dead poster we have ever offered! Here we have a famous collaboration between Rick Griffin and Alton Kelley created for several weeks of shows in the summer of 1968. This month’s line up included powerhouse performances by the Who and the Grateful Dead. In November 2018 a lower 9.2 example realized $546 in our auction. Last year we auctioned another 9.8 graded specimen for $1320 that had a signature. This piece is in 9.8 Superb Museum Quality Condition that is unimprovable in every way!
