This lot is only one of the few CGC Graded examples of this classic Family Dog first printing issue to appear in our auction! Rick Griffin’s “Motherload” is a must have from the FD series. The sepia toned photograph of Haight Ashbury’s blues queen Janis Joplin is the centerpiece of this timeless poster. The OP-1 of this issue very seldom surfaces at public auction.
