The BG-60 is an original Wes Wilson poster for a Howlin’ Wolf concert at the Fillmore in 1967. It is oversized and powerful in design. The artist gave the legendary Blues man a superfluous “ g” at the end of Howlin’ this speaks to how quickly the production of these posters were pushed on the artists by the promoter - apparently no time for fact finding! Many collectors believe that posters graded 8.5 by CGC represent the best value in the marketplace today. See our blog dated 1/31/18 to learn why demand is currently skyrocketing.
