This desirable, early Grateful Dead original first printing postcard is one of the most sought-after images of the Bill Graham collection. It features Wes Wilson's art and an image that is associated with one of the most iconic bands of the period. This piece, much like the original poster, is extremely light-sensitive. The blue color tends to fade to grey very quickly.

The original poster commands thousands of dollars, but the original postcard like the one shown here is not easy to find either. Collectors "in the know" are aware the BG-51 image very seldom surfaces at auction in great condition. It is often being hunted down by the community, and we get numerous requests for it on a regular basis. Don't miss this opportunity to acquire one of the most treasured Bill Graham postcards of the entire numbered series, for far less than the original poster commands!
