The elusive FD-34 original poster is an early 13th Floors Elevators poster created by a seldom used Family Dog Artist, Steve Renick. The incorporation of the eye in the triangle, perched atop a pyramid, with radiating rays, was artist Steve Renick's early Masonic reference, which appeared a few months prior to Rick Griffin's use of the symbol. In February 2018, a pristine 9.8 graded example reached a record breaking high water mark of $2082 in our auction. This 6.5 graded example will provide huge value for those looking to fill the gap in their FD collection.

News spread quickly two years ago about the sad passing of Roky Erickson at age 71, which has already spurred a massive interest in concert material for collectors and fans alike. Texas native Roger Kynard, "Roky" Erickson was a founding member of The 13th Floor Elevators and a pioneer of the psychedelic rock genre. The group was a major innovator of '60s Rock & the San Francisco Sound.
