Insane artwork by Rick Shubb! This is a difficult to find Carousel offering - only one of a few we have handled over many years - and it's the FINEST QUALITY CONDITION CGC graded example we have ever auctioned! Midnight toker Steve Miller headlined this bill at the Carousel with the Sons of Champlin and James Purify as the openers. The Carousel Ballroom was a short lived venture that was funded and managed by the Dead and Airplane. After they lost enough money and realized it was not their game the space was taken over by Bill Graham and became the Fillmore West. CGC premiums between grades are just starting to grow!

 

The facts speak for themselves! This superb museum condition poster represents a lucrative opportunity.Damaged copies having traded for around $450. This PRISTINE GEM is the finest quality specimen we have EVER offered over the past 12 years and tens of thousands of lots totaling many millions of dollars. This is sure to make one collector very very happy indeed! While others may surface in the future the quality here may never be matched or surpassed.
