This first printing Rick Griffin poster for a run of Quicksilver Messenger Service concerts at the Avalon is one of the artist’s strongest and most popular designs. The symmetry and lettering here is incredible and is not easy to find. This original poster is a real gem and it's passionately hunted by collectors in any condition. In March last year a similar graded example reached $660 in our auction.
