This legendary Grateful Dead "Swell Dance" poster is one of the most sought-after BG images of the series. It was produced for a run of shows at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale New York during March 1973. Due to its massive size CGC would not be able to encapsulate this poster for grading. The design by David Byrd is huge and impressive! The original printings are on super thin paper and very difficult to find at public auctions in ANY condition. When one surfaces it always attracts exciting interest from collectors! We auctioned another one for $920 in similar condition over two years ago.
