Starting bid: $1.00

This lot represents only the third CGC graded example of this scarce First Printing issue to appear in a public auction. The late great Bonnie MacLean designed this beautiful poster featuring The Who at the Fillmore in 1967. Without a doubt one of the most requested issues of the Bill Graham numbered series. This is one of those pieces everyone wants but very few have.

 

The elusive nature of this poster makes perfect sense especially when one considers there were NO REPRINTS of this issue produced until after 2010. Therefore only the original 1967 Pre-Concert First Printings like this one have survived all these years. Clearly one of the Fillmore set-breakers this lot is sure to attract serious collectors looking to fill that gap in their original printing collections.
