We have here for you a special original first printing poster for a very early show at the Grande Ballroom. This is only the third CGC Graded example we have offered SIGNED by the artist. It's just the 5th poster in the Grande series. Compared to the San Francisco Ballrooms which at this time were printing posters in quantities of 1500 or more the print run for Grande posters was around 500. The Grande Ballroom was the epicenter of the 60’s scene in the upper Midwest and the artistic quality of the artworks rivals anything done out west. Very few of these early original posters exist today in ANY condition!
