| This poster is signed by the artist Stanley Mouse! This powerful poster for a cancelled Howlin’ Wolf show at the Avalon features another classic Mouse/Kelley design. The FD-27 issue was only printed before the concerts (there are no reprints) which makes this poster especially desirable and valuable. The shows themselves were cancelled but this classic image has remained a popular and important collectible in the series. This lot exhibits a great opportunity to add this showstopper issue to your Family Dog collection! Ever since our first auction over 13 years ago PAE has banged the drum very hard for early pre #30 Fillmore and Avalon material. This recommendation is STILL a cornerstone of our current 2020 Collector's Guide available FREE on our website. We feel stronger about the desirability of posters such as this than we did when we first started recommending them 13 years ago! This specimen joins two other previously auctioned specimens as the finest to appear in our auction. Previously we sold a 9.6 specimen for $4324 in January 2017 and a 9.8 specimen for $4500 in July 2020. Both of these were signed like this one here!
