Another FIRST TIMER! Here we have the very FIRST CGC graded specimen of this original bumper sticker to EVER appear at public auction! This sticker was produced to promote the Jefferson Airplane and Grateful Dead in the summer of 1967 at the O’Keefe Centre in Toronto.

 

It was designed by artist James H. Gardner and is the counterpart to the beautiful posters and handbills he produced for the same run of shows in the numbered Bill Graham series (The famous and elusive BG-74 - with photographs by Herb Greene).

 

If you own any of the BG-74 issues this companion bumper sticker is a MUST to  complete your set! These stickers are EXTREMELY SCARCE now and seldom surface for collectors. Never before with CGC grading and authentication until NOW!
