Ultra rarity. Never before seen never before offered CARDBOARD SILKSCREEN poster. From the 45+ year collection of a New Jersey native that collected the Dead attended Drexel University and went to the show. First: Let's talk about rarity. For the advanced Dead collector it doesn't get any more rare than this! The first EVER auction appearance of this SLEEPER CARDBOARD poster from a small university in 1970. Second: Let's talk provenance. ONE OWNER for the past 47 years. It comes from a serious Dead collector that also consigned other major rarities in this sale. Third: Let's talk quality. The quality of this poster is incredible. 100% Original with no restoration. Obbviously "put up" to promote the show as signs of slight water damage. However there is just a single tack hole in each corner plus one tack hole top center along with three miniscule pinholes. The borders and corners are 100% complete with no nicks cuts or tears. Fourth: Let's talk desirability. Great band? Check! Rarity? Unimprovable rarity one of a kind. Eye appeal? Amazing! This is a SILKSCREEN CARDBOARD poster with breathtaking graphics. The Bottom Line: There are literally hundreds of serious Dead concert collectors out there. Only ONE will have this poster in their collection. A special opportunity that may never present itself again! 

Condition Details – 14 1/8 x 22 - 100% Original no restoration. Single tack hole in each corner and 4 small pin holes in the top center a water stain on the top edge which extends down 3" a few light corner creases.
