This is a PIRATE Printing (Listed in Eric King's book as PP-4) of this issue.

 

Here we have a great opportunity to acquire this image as the Pirate Printing for far less than the Original or official reprints of this issue would command! The FD-12 is a LEGENDARY issue of unsurpassed historical significance because it is the very FIRST time the image of a skeleton was associated with the Grateful Dead. This design predates the FD-26 Skeleton and Roses poster by over 4 months. An Original First Printing of this poster in this condition would auction for thousands of dollars. This pirate printing poster offers you the same iconic world famous art at a much more affordable price level
