Original First Printings of this issue can easily command over $5 000 in this state of preservation. This beautiful Second Printing offered weeks after the show 50+ years ago should be available for FAR less! It's a great way to acquire this famous artwork without paying the high amounts the Original Printings command. This art by Lee Conklin was so powerful that Santana had the piece reworked for their first album cover. This image is one of the most used examples of 1960’s art in volumes chronicling the genre. Last year another 9.8 graded example of the RP-2 reached $2 400 in our auction!
