1970 BG-237 Grateful Dead Fillmore SIGNED PC CGC 9.8

This postcard is SIGNED by the artist, David Singer! Signature Series postcards are signed in the presence of an authorized CGC witness. The special gold holder provides instant recognition of this item's special status!

The work of Fillmore poster artist David Singer is a sub-genre of poster art in itself. Singer’s output was the largest of any single Fillmore poster artist. Initially, Singer's photo collage style often gets overlooked, as it's not as obvious as some of his predecessor's illustrations. However, with a second look, collectors discover the great depth, beauty and symbolism in his body of work.

 

This Grateful Dead postcard was made for a historic run of shows by the band. These four nights at the Fillmore were the very first after the release of “Workingman’s Dead” and featured a rare acoustic set each night. The New Riders of the Purple Sage opened for the Dead at these shows.
