The FD-26 is one of the undeniable stars of the 1960’s concert poster genre and its place in history is well known. This classic Mouse/Kelley design has survived the test of time and is easily one of the most recognized images in all of Rock. Posters in this shape are worth tens of thousands of dollars. An Original First Printing of this poster sold last year for $118 750 in another public auction!
