Here we are offering a Reprint of one of the most iconic and celebrated concert posters of the 1960s… the famous FD-14 “Zig-Zag Man." It advertises a pair of concerts by Big Brother and The Holding Company and Quicksilver Messenger Service that took place at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco California on June 24-25 1966. This show is the first performance of Big Brother that would showcase their new lead singer Janis Joplin.

This CGC certified post-concert Reprint allows new collectors to have a chance to acquire this classic image for a lower price than the pre-concert original printings can realize when they surface. It should also be noted that even the reprints of this poster are rare and difficult to find in ANY condition! This RP-3 here is in superb 9.9 museum quality condition! In June 2018 a lower 8.0 graded example reached $546 in our auction. In any other collectibles market this perfect 9.9 poster would be worth many multiples of the previously sold example. It will be interesting to see what premium the market attaches to this superior example now!
