Here’s an example of a super early Fillmore poster that can still be acquired at an ultra reasonable price level. Why? Because “The Big 5” was a closed club of the best 5 male poster artists- No Girls allowed! MacLean designed this poster and its actual issuance was between BG3 and BG4 in the series. Bonnie was married to Bill Graham and managed the art department for the Fillmore. She was one of the most prominent artists in the Fillmore series.

This is just the third CGC graded example to be offered at public auction. Demand for CGC graded examples of this issue clearly overwhelm this tiny supply.
