This poster is signed by the artist Bonnie MacLean and is the finest quality signed specimen to appear in our auction.
The late great Bonnie MacLean designed this poster and its actual issuance was between BG-3 and BG-4 in the series. MacLean's recent passing made headlines around the world due to her fabulous body of work and contribution to the hobby. This international recognition underscores the desirability of this lot. Bonnie was married to Bill Graham and managed the art department for the Fillmore. She was one of the most prominent artists in the Fillmore series!
Demand for CGC graded examples of this issue clearly overwhelm this tiny supply! Since the inception of PAE over 10 years ago we have consistently advised collectors to focus on the first 30 issues of the Bill Graham series. History has proved our advice was correct then and we are sticking with it now! These early issues from the first year of the Fillmore Auditorium represent amazing values at current price levels. SIGNED by the artist and in Superb MUSEUM QUALITY CONDITION! In our previous CGC auction held in December 2020 we offered a similar CGC graded 9.6 specimen that was NOT signed by the artist that realized $1020.
