It is well known that the Fd-14 or "Zig Zag Man" is one of the most famous posters from the 1960's. It is one of the key posters in the Family Dog series! However this copy is not an original but to knowledgeable collectors it is not just a novelty piece but a truly tough find. It is actually scarcer than the original. This poster was the first 60's ballroom poster to be "bootleged". Beacause of this posters immediate popularity bogus copies appeared in shops just a few weeks after the concert.
What makes THIS unauthorized copy so valuable and collectible is the "Genuine Counterfiet" stamp. According to legend Avalon/ Family Dog promoter Chet Helms and artists Mouse & Kelley were so upset to learn that poster had been knocked off that they personally tracked down arly bootleged copies of FD 14 and stamped them with a rubber stamp. This is a truly scarce opportunity for advanced collectors.
