Final Auction Price
*Final prices include buyers premium
$780.00
Starting bid: $1.00

We don't see the original OP-1 first printing of the FD-65 pass through our doors nearly often enough. It's widely considered amongst collectors to be one of Rick Griffin's coolest creations! This is one of those Family Dog issues that always gets lively attention from collectors when surfacing no matter what condition it's in. Our auction records show 2 "Near Mint" examples that brought $1270 on 11/21/10 and $1143.00 on 11/23/14. Neither of those posters were CGC graded! 100% Original with no restoration.
