This original poster is a rare treasure that is always on the top of collectors’ wish lists. It advertises a 1967 Grateful Dead concert at the Continental Ballroom. The example you see here is in near-mint condition with few flaws. This piece was produced on ultra-thin tissue-like paper that is also textured.
99% of all known copies were distributed in copies of The Continental Ballroom's Guru newspaper and exhibit horizontal folds as a result. Folded copies routinely realize $1200-$1700 at auction and superb copies such as this have traded at auction for as high as $3600 in the past. It is a rare opportunity to acquire this Grateful Dead poster in good condition!
