This magnificent handbill for a cancelled Family Dog show at the Avalon is described by noted concert poster expert and historian Eric King as “The quintessential psychedelic poster”!

This SIGNATURE SERIES CGC graded FD-6 Original Handbill is sure to please with its Museum Quality Condition and NO nicks cuts tears or pinholes of any kind! Simply beautiful! 

 

With Wilson's recent passing making national headlines collector demand has mushroomed for anything bearing this legend's signature. Having the gold Signature Series provenience is sure to make this a standout acquisition for one lucky collector.
