News of the legendary Wes Wilson's sad passing spread fast and quickly stirred a renewed interest & appreciation for the great legacy of concert poster art he left behind. High grade Original First Printing Grateful Dead posters in great condition like this one are among the most sought after in the world. This early piece is from 1966 and it’s from a famous promoter and venue in Bill Graham and the Fillmore Auditorium!

 

SUPER CLEAN & PINHOLE FREE Condition! In September last year a lower 8.5 graded example reached $1320 in our auction and it wasn't SIGNED like this one here.
