Here we have a beautiful museum quality reprint poster of one of THE KEYS to the entire Avalon set. It tops every collector's list as one of the most desirable images. This poster holds unsurpassed historical significance as it is the very first time that the Grateful Dead were associated with the symbol of a Skull which would become the graphic identity of the band for decades to come.

 

A great chance to own this historic Wes Wilson graphic for a fraction of the price the original pre-concert printing poster would realize! All printings (including this one) of this issue have been forged & pirated over the years. CGC authentication has brought much needed integrity and stability to this very popular segment of the vintage concert materials marketplace. Finally you can acquire posters with confidence knowing you are getting exactly what you pay for!
