The original FIRST PRINTING FD-33 is one of the most sought after Grateful Dead posters in the Avalon Series. This striking yet simple design by Mouse and Kelly utilize the Family Dog logo in striking Green and Red. A very tiny fraction of the original issuance have survived the past 54 years! We are aware of a previous top quality specimen graded 9.8 that realized $9487 in September 2018. Many collectors need this issue to complete their set of Family Dog numbered series original printing posters
