The legendary CREAM at the Fillmore & Winterland designed by the legendary Stanley Mouse! This is one of only a few CGC graded examples of this original FIRST PRINTING poster to ever appear in our auction! 

 

Cream was at the height of their game at the time of the shows. Having formed in 1966 the band met with critical acclaim. However after a couple of years of heavy touring the band was strained by internal conflict between Baker and Bruce. They would close down shop by the end of 1968.

 

Last year a lower 8.0 graded example reached $1560 in our auction. In any other collectibles market this 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.
