This powerful poster for a cancelled Howlin’ Wolf show at the Avalon features another classic Mouse/Kelley design. The poster is the first and only printing which makes this poster especially desirable and valuable.

Original First Print Concert Poster graded 9.0 by CGC are extremely sought after by collectors. Why? Because at this grade level you can get a beautiful totally undamaged poster for far less than the higher 9.0+ grades bring. For example this poster has appeared just two other times at auction with CGC grading 9.0 or better.

A 9.8 example brought $2875 on 6/26/16 and we sold a Double Signed 9.6 example for $4324 on 1/8/17. You can acquire this example for much less. Same poster. Same CGC packaging. Also undamaged. Many would argue a BETTER value!
