Collectors “in the know” understand that this is definitely one of the very toughest early Bill Graham numbered series posters to locate. If you want a used copy you shouldn’t have any problems but if you're looking for pinhole free condition it's a whole different adventure trying to find one. This early piece will continue to grow in desirability and importance with each passing year! For example earlier this year we sold a 9.4 specimen for over $4 000 (see it here) and even the handbill has commanded $2 000 in our auction. We believe these values will look ridiculously cheap in hindsight years from now as there is intense collector focus on the tiny supply of the earliest Bill Graham issues in magnificent undamaged condition as is offered here and now.
