Here we have the first CGC graded example of the BG-137 Postcard to appear in our auction. This is the scarcer very dark green background color variant of this "calendar back" / "showbill back" card ever rarer in this TOP condition! This is one of Rick Griffin's most popular and sought after images. If you want an original postcard with great art great band great condition at a great price level - this piece is for you! Eric King states in his guide: "Many psychedelic posters have their origins in advertising images. This one is derived from a French cheese company logo known as 'La Vache Qui Rit' which is usually translated as 'The Laughing Cow.' "
