Here we have a classic poster by Mouse & Kelley celebrating the first Anniversary of the birth of the Grateful Dead. According to Deadbase the first time the Dead played as such was on 12/4/65 in San Jose.  This poster was made for an obscure venue called “The Old Cheese Factory” and it's a very early Mouse /Kelley /Grateful Dead collaboration. It was a marriage that would live on for decades. We have only offered this first printing issue with CGC grading a small handful of times over the past 13+ years.
