$540.00
Starting bid: $10.00

The BG-2 Original Handbill was printed on thin tan paper and was only printed once before the concerts. This "Batman" image was the first created for the Fillmore Numbered Series by artist Wes Wilson.

 

It was discovered this handbill had been pirated at some point in the 1990's. You can bid with confidence on this lot, as it has been independently authenticated and graded by CGC as being the first pre-concert printing AND it is 100% Original, with no restoration of any kind!

 

We've only auctioned a few of these handbills over the years because they seldom surface for collectors.
