The FD 18 is another “Sleeper“ in the Avalon series. Unlike the rest of the Avalon/ Family Dog posters this was printed on brown paper. Knowledgeable collectors know this paper was very easily damaged and this issue remains all but impossible to find in top condition. You could go many many years without locating an equal or better example.
This is just the second and the finest quality CGC graded example to ever appear at public auction!
Mouse and Kelley once again dig into the well of popular culture icons for inspiration. This time they enlisted “Nipper” the famous terrier that was used as a logo for decades by the Gramophone Company and RCA/Victor Company.
This poster was produced in a ridiculously low print run of 1300 copies. We believe that less than 10% of those copies still exist in ANY condition today. Just a tiny fraction (5-10%) of that 10% are high grade specimens. A serious Blue Chip poster that is a ridiculous bargain at current price levels because it simply can’t be found in the condition offered here!
