This is a Lot of 5 Bill Graham Fillmore Popular Postcards. These postcards are stamped on the reverse by Ben Friedman of Postermat. The Postermat franchise had 3 stores in the 60s. One in New York (run by Joan & Marty Gisler), one in Los Angeles (run by Fred Gisler their son), and one in San Francisco which Ben Friedman ran. They also had a related printing and distribution business Personality posters which supplied their stores and others.

 

Only posters and handbills were printed before these early BG shows to advertise these shows - however - these postcards were printed just months after the shows took place, so they are still considered vintage. Eric King's guide designates them as "RPC" (Reprint Postcards).
