A HIGH GRADE 9.8 CGC masterpiece. A brilliant work of art by Wes Wilson! Here we have only the fourth CGC-graded example of the Original Pre-Concert First Printing of BG-39 to appear in our auction. This historic run of 1966 concerts took place right after Grace Slick joined the Airplane. The BG-39 is beautiful and unique because it was produced using a “color wheel” technique, which varies the ink color as it rolls down the print. As a result, each poster looked slightly different! The First Printings of this issue are extremely rare and seldom surface in public auctions in ANY condition.
