A brilliant work of art by the late great Wes Wilson! Here we have the FINEST QUALITY CONDITION CGC Graded example of the Original Pre-Concert First Printing of BG-39 Handbill to appear in our auction! This historic run of concerts took place right after Grace Slick joined Jefferson Airplane.
The BG-39 is beautiful and unique because it was produced using a “color wheel” technique which varies the ink color as it rolls down the print. As a result each pre-concert poster and handbill made looked slightly different! This is the incredibly popular ultra scarce variant of the handbill with the color wheel colors behind the figures all being shades of yellow. Even rarer in top shape! The First Printings of this issue are extremely rare and seldom surface in public auctions. This handbill is sure to attract attention from eager collectors looking to finally get their hands on a museum quality specimen of this issue!
