This handbill is signed in black ink by Commander Cody!
Ladies and gentlemen here we have the FIRST PAE Appearance of this Original Handbill to appear in our auction. Best of all it’s certified by CGC and SIGNED BY THE GREAT COMMANDER CODY himself! These shows were part of a benefit in San Francisco for the legalization of Marijuana held at The Village in early 1971.
Commander Cody formed his country-rock band "The Lost Planet Airmen" in 1967. The group's founder was George Frayne (Commander Cody) on piano. They would take their cues less from folk-rock and bluegrass and more from the rowdy barroom country of the Ernest Tubb and Ray Price style. The Commander is still active and performs concerts to this day.
This original first printing piece could easily be called a "small poster" considering its LARGE size is much bigger than your typical five by seven inch handbill. Best of all this gem is SIGNED! More and more collectors are coming into the fold with the knowledge that artist signatures add a whole other dimension to their treasures. Read our blog dated 1/20/18 where we discuss the skyrocketing demand for signed material such as this lot!
